Devotion for Wednesday, November 15, 2017
“You have taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me.” (Psalm 56:8-9)
The Lord knows the days of our life. He knows what we need long before we ask. He allows all the things that happen to occur for His purposes. Trusting in the Lord is the result of faith and knowing that all things are in His hands is the truth. Come then to the Lord and be not afraid.
Lord, all around me is the evidence of a world that is not quite right. Help me, I pray, to see through the fog of this world the truth of Your Word. Guide me according to Your never-failing principles to walk humbly on the earth knowing that You alone are God of all. Your book is written and in it is that page onto which You have written me. Guide me to live as You would have me live.
Lord Jesus, You are the author and finisher of the faith for all of those who come to You. Lead me to follow and open my ears to speak as You speak that I would be guided by the truth of eternity. Though all around me is chaos, settle my heart to simply trust in the grace You provide knowing that only in You is there hope and a future. May I truly follow You all the days of my life. Amen.
