DAILY DEVOTIONAL – JULY 02, 2020 God Will Never Give Up On You By David Wilkerson (1931-2011) “For the Lord loves justice, and does not forsake His saints; they are preserved forever” (Psalm 37:28). Once God touches and possesses someone, it’s for a lifetime.  The Lord will never surrender to Satan what is his.  You may falter, fail or fall into devastating sin, but once God possesses you, he will never, ever give up on you.  Also, when he possesses you, he prepares you for ever-increasing usefulness.  Think back to the time when God came to you and supernaturally touched your soul.  He called you to himself and filled you with his Spirit, while making a commitment to you:  “I claim you; you are my possession.”  Suddenly, God took control of your life and nothing was going to change that fact.  You became God’s purchased possession:  “The church of God which He purchased with His own blood” (Acts 20:28). The Creator of the universe bought you with the price of his own blood and nothing has power over that blood.  Satan himself may ensnare you in a hellish trap and yet, just as he thinks he has you, God says, “No, devil, you can’t have him. He’s mine.  I’ve purchased him and you must release my property.”  God is preserving you, preparing you for his best. David was a God-possessed man.  Even though he was a giant killer, an anointed psalm writer, and a great king, he battled a fierce compulsion in his heart.  At the very height of God’s blessing and favor, he was overtaken by a violent attack of lust.  He fell into sin with another man’s wife and even had the woman’s husband murdered in battle.  David suffered dire consequences for his sin but God preserved him through the ordeal.  In fact, David was prepared for even greater ministry after his fall.  His voice was heard throughout the land as never before and today we read his anointed words in the Psalms.  The truth that God revealed to David through his trial is still being preached today. Remember, the Lord will never give up on you no matter what struggle you face.  You are the Lord’s, so receive his love, power, forgiveness and freedom!  “For the Lord will not cast off His people, nor will He forsake His inheritance” (Psalm 94:14).
