David Wilkerson Devotions

When you set your heart to walk blameless before God and to please him, you will be feared and despised by those who have lost his favor and blessing. Lukewarm or compromised Christians will be absolutely disturbed and repelled by your life.

We see this vividly illustrated in 1 Samuel. “Now Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, but had departed from Saul... And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him” (1 Samuel 18:12-15, NKJV).

God gives the righteous a good name so they can use it to glorify him in greater measure, so we should seek to be known by an exemplary life so it glorifies God.

Paul was always mindful that God was watching him and checking his motives, and he gives us three examples of what a blameless believer’s life looks like.

What distinguishes the blameless walk of God’s people from those who have backslidden is a consuming desire to honor the name of Jesus before all people.

Every person battles fear, even the bravest and strongest among us. We must regularly return to the care of the Lord whose strength is made perfect in our weakness.

When you come to Jesus, you cannot make up anything to him. He makes it all up to you because that is who he is as a generous and gracious God.

God is waiting for your heartbroken cry uttered in childlike faith. He is an attentive parent who is ready to hear from us and will answer our cries.

No matter what you are going through, no matter how you feel, the Lord feels the very feelings of your infirmities. He knows every move you make and has compassion for you.

The Lord has brought us into our Promised Land in Christ! Jesus is to us an abiding place where there is never any lack. God will always provide what we need.

Believers may go through trials and sufferings. You may be far from what you wish to be in the Lord. However, you can know that you are a delight to your heavenly Father.
