1 Samuel 23; Psalm 31; Psalm 54; Matthew 7
So Be Strong And Courageous,
All You
Who Put Your Hope In The LORD!
Scripture
23 Love the Lord, all you godly ones!
For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him,
but he harshly punishes the arrogant.
24 So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord!
Observation
Saul
was hunting down David and day after day David had to hide and run for his
life. David cried out to the LORD to save him. I love these two Psalms that are
in today’s Bible reading. David finishes Psalm 31 with this bold statement of
his faith,
“So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the
LORD!”
None
of us are going through what David experienced, at least none of us that live
in the United States. There are Christians in other parts of the world that
have to live in hiding and day after day are being hunted down, but Americans
don’t have that problem.
Over
and over and over again in Scripture the LORD tells us to be strong and
courageous and to trust in Him. I love what Jesus says,
"… In this world you will have
trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33b (NIV)
Application
I
will be strong and courageous. I will trust in Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to be strong and courageous.
Help me to trust in You all the time. Thank You for rescuing those that live in
Boston from the terror of two evil men. Thank You for the police and government
leaders that keep us safe from evil people that want to terrorize us. Saul
terrorized David and You protected David from Saul’s evil plans.
You are the
Mighty God. You are All-Powerful. You protect those who are loyal, those who
put their trust in You.
