Devotion 1/31, Thank You for Today, Lord
When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2
When you become a Christian, it doesn’t mean that you will live on a perpetual “high.” The Psalmist David went down to the very depths, and so did the Apostle Paul. But in the midst of all circumstances God’s grace, peace, and joy are there. The tears will still come, the pressures will be felt, and so will the temptations. But there is a new dimension, a new direction, and a new power in life to face the circumstances in which you live, Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life.
David and Paul have given us the example of trusting You, Lord, even in the excruciating valleys of life. Like them, we praise You. We give thanks for today and trust in your faithfulness Lord. We pray Your light shines through us for others as we focus on You and Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
