Today’s Reading: Psalm 56
Today’s Psalm, written by David, can be read in a short time. Honestly, I feel I should work on mesmerizing as I get Ready for Today. Psalm 56 shares the truth and love we should remember as we face our worldly lives. Sadly, there is an enemy that will look for ways to attack us every day in any way possible. ( Satan used an apple, even.)
These attacks will vary based on our daily walks, but know they can and will hurt in some way. Yet, David says that as our inevitable attacks come, we have a way to minimize the pain and grow in our faith. Here were a few simple reminders.
- Call on the Lord – He is always there waiting, listening, and ready for our conversation with Him.
- Trust in Him – He made an eternal promise to all of us. He will follow through. Our temporary pain from an attack can quickly switch to glory with our eternal perspective and trust in the plans He has for us.
- Praise Him – for keeping us from continuing to fall. Yes, we are broken in a broken world, but we have a Lord who conquered it all and already has delivered us from death, giving us eternal life beyond what we can ever imagine on this Earth. Praise Him and walk in light instead of darkness today.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for Your Words that can bring light to any dark space that attempts to attack us daily. You are the source of all joy and our protector and defender every second of our days on Earth. Let us not fall to pride and selfishness and think we can do any of it on our own. Amen
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?13 For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
