      Glory & Grace Daily Devotional (April 2017) - Patrick Oben

      Introduction

      We are , again, extremely thrilled to release Glory & Grace Daily Devotionals for the month of April. The Spirit has led us to select the theme The Wonders of Joy. 

      In the realm of the Spirit, your joy is your very life. Whatever takes it away will silently murder you, and it will be only a matter of time before your outward life begins to wither. We will be taking an interesting journey as we look at a few key truths, revealed to us in the scriptures about joy, to position your life for the experience and manifestation of the supernatural.

      Again, this comes in the daily devotionals. Your fellowship with God is your lifeline, and whatever severs that connection in a practical sense will cut you off from the sap that produces fruit and healthy leaves in your life. A healthy devotional life is an indicator of a healthy spirit that will ultimately become evident in your spiritual life, as well as in all that concerns you. 

      Please do not casually read these devotionals. They were not written to fulfill some sense of Christian obligation to read something biblical. If that is what you are looking for, this book is probably not for you. 

      Feed on these devotionals. They were written to feed your spirit and release the river of God in your life. Engage your mind, pray, and take the suggested steps. God’s work works when we align ourselves with it. It also will not profit us in any way if we fail to cooperate. 

      Make maximum use of these devotionals. Enjoy the wonders of the Word of God, and be transformed by His Spirit one day at a time!

      Blessings,

      Patrick Oben, MD

      The Hope of Spring

      For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. (Ps. 30:5 NKJ)

      Spring is a season when the trees begin to show signs of recovery from winter. They begin to bud and blossom as though an entirely new life was poured out on them. Winter is a harsh season. It is a season of difficult weather conditions, where many trees shed their leaves and there is no fruit bearing.

      Praise the Lord that just after winter, there is spring. The advent of spring reminds us that there is hope for every winter season. Weeping may endure for a night – the season of spiritual winter – but joy comes in the morning. Spring is your morning. Spring is here!

      Our lives may enter into a winter season for whatever reason. Spiritual winter is a period in our lives where things might be at the bottom of the pit. There may be dark and gloom in your health, marriage, relationships, finances, etc.

      The Jews were in a moment of spiritual winter above because they disobeyed the commandments of the Lord. There are different reasons why we may find ourselves in winter. No matter the reason, God has prepared spring ahead for us to get out of the winter.

      The first sign of recovery is the advent of spring in your life. Joy comes in the morning, after a night of weeping. There is hope for every night season you may find yourself in. Hope is an anchor for the soul. When hope is cut off, the reason for living dries off. But there is hope in God for every living soul under the face of the earth.
