The
Lord
Rescues
The Godly;
He
Is Their Fortress In Times Of Trouble.
Scripture
Joshua
1
8
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and
night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Psalm
37
1
Corinthians 3
16 Don’t
you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that
the Spirit of God lives in you?
Observation
Some
days, like today, it is hard to decide what to write about from my
daily Bible reading. Joshua 1, Psalm 37, and 1 Corinthians 3 all had
so much in them to write about!
But
since we are living in this crazy and uncertain time, with all of us
trying to cope with the impact of this coronavirus I thought I would
share a few verses found in Psalm 37!
I
don't know about you but when I am going through stressful times I
almost always find myself reading in the book of Psalms.
King
David lived most of his life being pursued by his enemies. He had to
hide in caves, he had to hide in the wilderness, he was always on the
run with people trying to kill him. All of this hardship caused King
David to draw close to the Lord. He became a man after God's own
heart. All of the uncertainty and all of the constant danger
surrounding King David caused him to depend totally on the Lord for
help. He knew that God was his only hope.
In
the midst of this crisis there is only one place for us to turn and
place our hope. You and I need to follow the example set by King
David. I must and you must cry out to our Lord and ask Him for help!
Let's
not place all of our hope in our government. Let's pray for our
leaders asking that God will give them wisdom to lead us during this
crisis, but let's not count on any one person or any human being to
rescue us! We have a Savior – His name is JESUS!
Application
I
will trust in the Lord with all of my heart!
How
about you?
Proverbs
3:5-6
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You are mighty God. Nothing is too hard for You. I put my
hope in You and in You alone. Your Word, all of Your promises, they
are my rock, they are my strength. My confidence is in You. I am
trusting in You with all of my heart. This crisis is not a surprise to
You. I know that You could stop it today. When I can't see Your hand
in what is happening around me I will trust Your heart. You are good.
You are good. You have me in the Palm of Your Hand. There is no where
safer to be.
I
pray for any person who may read this blog today. Give them great
faith. Help them to be courageous and help them to trust You with all
of their heart!
