Challenges & Difficulty, Trusting God

LIGHT YOUR LAMP

O Lord, you light my lamp. My God turns my darkness into light. With you I can attack a line of soldiers. With my God I can break through barricades. [Psalm 18:28-29 (GW)]

Did you ever play “Red Rover” as a child? We had to break through the clasped hands of the members of the opposing team. Sometimes life is a bit like that. Try as hard as we will, it seems like someone or something is opposing us all the way. Who and what are the soldiers blocking your way? Are there people or things in your life that might be keeping you from achieving your goals? What are the barricades restraining you from accomplishing the tasks you want to complete?

Keep in mind, if what we are doing is God’s task, with His blessing and by His power, we can, indeed, defeat any enemy and break through every barricade in our way!

O Lord, light my lamp and lead the way through the barricades in our lives.

Fear & Doubt, Peace of God, Trusting God, Worry

THE PREREQUISITE FOR PEACE

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you. [Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)]

“Oh, Lord,” I complain, “My heart is troubled, where is this peace you promise?”

“Foolish child,” He responds, “Where is the trust in me that is the requirement for that peace?”

Trust in The Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal rock.” [Isaiah 26:4 (NLT)]

Fear & Doubt, Trusting God, Worry

MY GOD, MY ROCK

I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. [Psalm 18:1-2 (GW)]

Isn’t it nice knowing that we don’t have to do it all on our own? We don’t have to save ourselves, carry the burdens of others or solve the world’s problems alone! We have a rock on which to lean, a shield to protect us, a source of strength to endure all things, and a place of safety in which to find comfort. Thank you God for being our Rock!

Challenges & Difficulty, Fear & Doubt, Trusting God

TRUST IN THE LORD

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. [Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)]

Forgive us, Lord, but sometimes the challenges of this life keep us from feeling your presence and knowing your love. It isn’t that you are not there; we are simply not looking! Open our eyes to your glory. Reassure us of your loving presence and help us see your hand in all that happens. Guide us in the steps we take today.

God's Plan, Trusting God

THE RIGHT PATH

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. [Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)]

With God leading us, we will never be lost or alone. He may not lead us to where we want to be and we may not arrive when we want to arrive, but we can be confident that He will lead us to where we belong and we will arrive at the right time!

Have a good day and trust where He leads you this week.
