The Daily Guide
God's Health Clinic
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. I cried out to the Lord in my suffering, and he heard me. He set me free from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4-5 - New Living Translation
One Sunday I was talking to my church about what church should be like. I reminded everyone of why we call our Sunday gathering a service. It's a service because we gather to serve God with whole-hearted worship and praise. What would make us better prepared for our Sunday service? Quality daily devotions will do it! Rev.4.
Daily devotions are you communing with God. You come into His presence with thanksgiving. Then you stay there reflecting on His Word, welcoming the ministry of His Spirit and praying. I often experience it as if it were a visit to God's health clinic. While I'm there I experience renewing, refreshing and revitalising so it feels like a health clinic. In a spiritual sense I get to feel like I'm receiving deep-cleansing treatment, detoxification, dietary counselling, stimulating exercise and much more. Why not make your personal devotions a time of stepping apart from your busy, pressured life? Step into the presence of God and linger there.
God's spiritual health care program is available to you! Heaven has a Doctor who takes care of your wounds and strains! Get on the couch in the Holy Spirit's office! Allow Him to know your hurts. Let Him provide a treatment. Let Him prescribe a scripture remedy. Follow this with whole-hearted praise and worship - it's the best spiritual exercise you can take. Finish with a cool down - drink the delightful cool waters of His Word.
Relax and be refreshed in God's presence.
