Open Heaven For Teens 2nd August 2024 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: Jehovah ROHI
MEMORISE: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1
READ: Psalms 37:23-24
[23]The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
[24]Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
MESSAGE
Jehovah Rohi is a Hebrew term which means ‘The Lord my Shepherd’. A shepherd is one who feeds or leads his flock to pasture. He also guides or directs the flock (Ezekiel 34:11-15).
In our world today, many people have trouble making decisions; hence, they go to the wise and knowledgeable for guidance. Unfortunately, following human wisdom alone could sometimes lead to regret. This is why God says that when you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him, and He will guide you.
I know you have many choices, and you are faced with the challenge of making the right decisions every day, from what to eat, what to wear, where to go, which course of study to choose, what career field to focus on, who to make your friend, what habits to stop or continue, where to settle down in adulthood, et cetera. Believe me, your worries and anxieties are valid.
However, you must be careful to involve God in everything so that He can lead you aright. God is a Friend who wants to direct you so that you won’t fall into errors. How often do you consult Him?
KEY POINT
The extent to which God directs you is determined by how much you involve Him in your affairs
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
2 Chronicles 32:1-33:13 Romans 15:23-16:9
HYMN 43, LEAD US HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
1. Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us
O’er The World’s Tempestuous Sea;
Guard Us, Guide Us, Keep Us, Feed Us,
For We Have No Help But Thee,
Yet Possessing Every Blessing
If Our God Our Father Be.
2. Saviour, Breathe Forgiveness O’er Us;
All Our Weakness Thou Dost Know;
Thou Didst Tread This Earth Before Us,
Thou Didst Feel Its Keenest Woe;
Lone And Dreary, Faint And Weary,
Through The Desert Thou Didst Go.
3. Spirit Of Our God, Descending,
Fill Our Hearts With Heavenly Joy,
Love With Every Passion Blending,
Pleasure That Can Never Cloy;
Thus Provided, Pardoned, Guided,
Nothing Can Our Peace Destroy.
