But God!
Today's Scripture
“O LORD, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!...but you
are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my
head” (Psalm 3:1-3)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
When
David wrote this verse, He was in a very difficult situation. He was
actually running for his life from his very own son who wanted to kill
him and take over the throne! Can you imagine?! David was probably
feeling overwhelmed, distraught, heart-broken, betrayed, and abandoned.
Have you ever felt that way? But notice that David didn’t just tell the
Lord all about his problems, he told the Lord about his faith when he
said, “But you, God, are a shield around me…” David made the choice to
focus on God’s goodness no matter what! We have to remember,
circumstances may be tough, but God is working behind the scenes on
your behalf. You may have a difficult relationship, but God is your
Restorer today. You may have an overwhelming need, but God is your
Provider today! The doctors may have told you that you have an
incurable disease, but God is your Healer today! Things may look
impossible today, BUT WITH GOD all things are possible! If you’ll keep
that constant attitude of faith and victory, you’ll see the hand of God
move in your life, and you will experience the life of victory He has
in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Father
God, thank You for always being faithful and working in my life. Today,
I open my heart to You and choose to focus on Your goodness no matter
what my circumstances look like. I know that with You, all things are
possible. In Jesus Name. Amen.
