Devotion for Thursday, February 28, 2019

“He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever;
his horn will be exalted in honor. The wicked will see it and be vexed, he will
gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.” (Psalm
112:9-10)

Even the birds of the air, are
taken care of by the Lord. He provides for everything He has made. The wicked
take what is intended for others and are vexed when they are provided for in
spite of their best intentions to leave others destitute. There are great
mysteries in this world. The Lord provides all that is needed for all of His
creation, even the wicked.

Lord, even in writing this I thought about many things I could say were
exceptions, but these excuses are not true. There is more than enough for
everyone on this planet. Lord, You teach me to care for others as You care for
me. Lead me in this direction so that I would stop thinking in circles and
start walking the path You have set me upon. Lead me. O Lord. where I should
go.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for teaching
me of the goodness of the Father. Help me today to live out the faith You have
given me. Guide me in Your goodness to help others as You have helped me. May I
learn a little more about what it means to abide in You as You abide in me. Through
all of the things that will happen teach me to rejoice and give praise for all
of the goodness of the Father. Amen.
