This morning I read from the book of Psalms. Psalm 94:19 to be specific. It says, “When my anxieties multiply, your comforting calms me down”. This is the common English version of scripture and it’s a very good thing to know.
God tends to bless us on a daily basis, that is if we are looking for Him. Today this scripture is my blessing. I have been working on the sermon for Sunday. The title-------“Fighting Life’s Giants”.
I don’t know about you, but it seems I am fighting problems daily of late. Each of these Giants seems to have brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles who take the place of today’s challenge (assuming I win the current challenge). Some of these Giants are very mean. They gouge, kick, hit below the belt, and they are not above a sucker punch or two.
There are times when I have to take a knee. Sometimes, I feel as if I can’t muster enough strength to engage in the next battle with these merciless ogres. Does that sound familiar?
So this is why todays reading of Psalm 94:19 is such a blessing to me. It gives me hope. Guess what? There are more of these scriptures where this wonderful verse comes from. Listen to Deuteronomy 31:8-9---” The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you, He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”. Then there is Romans 8:28 -----“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
I have found that, by myself, I could not possibly fight the army of troubles and challenges in this world. But, with the presence of the Holy Spirit within, I remember to “Cast all my anxiety on Him because He cares for me” 1 Peter 5:7
Blessings my beloved,
