Yesterday's Devotion

Righteous Company






There they are, overwhelmed with dread,

for God is present in the company of the righteous.Psalm 14:5 You have made known to me the path of life;

you will fill me with joy in your presence,

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.~Psalm 16:11"







I've been wanting to write about some things I've seen in the last few days which shows that God's presence is everywhere even in today's world. I've scoured my Bible for a scripture which talks about God being everywhere, with little success. But today with the recommendation from my mom I decided to read these 2 chapters in Psalm. And it was laid on my heart that God is everywhere because the Righteous allows HIM to work in their hearts through the Holy Spirit. Yes we live a world where many are hurt, overwhelmed, ill, lost, and live their life full of dread. However if only one of us show them love and let our light shine and listen to what the Holy Spirit wants us to do then they may find comfort in our company. Now to a couple of examples of myself being in Righteous company, and well just seeing the awesome work the Holy Spirit does in people around us. Ironically both examples happened Friday, first as I was wasting time on facebook during naptime I saw a newsarticle which reported that The Newsboys song was #4 on the Billboard charts which covers all music not just Christian music, which means their music is being heard by non believers. I just thought it was so cool to see that they had reached an audience that may never hear their message. Then after naptime the boys and I headed to the pool, and as we walked in I heard one of my favorite songs, Your hands by JJ Heller, and thought hum I didn't know they played this on rock stations, and then I heard the station(AFR-American Family Radio) and realized that the pool radio was tuned to a Christian station!!!!







Someone working at the pool must have felt the Holy Spirit working in them to change the radio to something more Righteous, and less offensive, and had the courage to take that step and change the station.







So yes God is everywhere and is more powerful than anything that life may throw our way. It is our responsibilities as Christian to blanket the earth with righteous choices and allow the Holy Spirit to work through us. Look around you today and please share ways the Holy Spirit is working in or around you.







In God's love,
