TODAY’S DEVOTION. HIGH PRAISES CONVERT ATTACKS TO ATTRACTION!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. "Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now-life for many people." (Genesis 50:20 MSG)
When you assume that you are under 'attack' when you go through challenges you cannot praise God effectively. Your best testimonies arise from some difficult and harsh situations or experiences. In order to praise God sincerely you need an understanding that all attacks from the devil are raw materials for your attraction. God's agenda is to convert every negative plan of the enemy to praise points. Your greatest battles in life are seeds for your best victories! Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
The scripture above proceeded from the lips of Joseph a man under severe attack and household wickedness, but who had an attitude of praise. Joseph's story began with a dream where he was the best among his brothers and they hated him for that. The attack of the adversary is against your dream! He was captured, tortured and sold into slavery but he had a thankful heart even in the face of attack. In Potiphar house
"His master recognized that God was with him, saw that God was working for good in everything he did." (Genesis 39:3 MSG)
If God was with Him it means he was praising God in slavery because God inhabits the praises of Israel.(Psalm 22:3) He was attacked again and he found himself in prison, but he kept his cool and in the spirit of praise became the captain and a source of encouragement to fellow inmates. From there he got into the Egyptian palace and became Pharaoh's second in command. With his new position he brought his family to Egypt and when his brothers saw him they were dumbfounded! After a while they became uneasy and apologised profusely to Joseph and were remorseful.
The opening scripture was Joseph's words to them and same is true for every man (woman) of praise. Whatever evil anyone has planned against you, God is turning it around for your good. Praise is your ability to look beyond what the enemy is doing into what God will make out of it in due course. Praise Him at all times!
TODAY'S RESPONSE
Praise Him for His ability to turn evil to good, attack to attraction and pain to gain. Praise the Lord!
