TODAY’S VERSE
The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.
I Samuel17:37 (NIV)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
If we remember all the times God delivered us from trouble, we would enjoy a much more peaceful life. So many times, I start my day as if it were the only day I have ever lived. Now, I don’t mind forgetting some of the bad things in my life, but when I begin to live as if God were not alive, I need to do some memory exercises. God has created us with a powerful memory so we can grow mentally, socially, and spiritually. Throughout the Bible, we are admonished to “remember” the goodness of God. Hope, peace, and faith all come from a memory of God’s faithfulness in the past. David was going to fight Goliath, and all he took with him was a sling, five smooth stones, and a memory of God’s deliverance. Listen to what he said when he went to face the giant. “The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” What are you facing? What giant is between you and victory? Remember God’s faithfulness in the past and trust Him with today.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Help me remember all the good things you have done and how you have acted on my behalf. Then, when trials and struggles come, help me step out in faith, knowing that you are the same today that You were yesterday.
AMEN
