Daily Devotion: I Will Trust in Thee - Psalm 56:3

By
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. – Psalm 56:3
Are you afraid? Do you doubt and worry? Are you troubled about things you cannot control? If so, dear one, stir up the gift of faith that is within you.
Understandably we are concerned about the problems of life. We should be concerned. Even Jesus, holding all power and understanding, was concerned. However, concern should not turn to worry. By faith, we can know that the will of God will be served and all things will work for good to those that love the Lord (Romans 8:28).
Instead of descending into fear, I pray that you and I will run to the Lord and trust Him. As we turn to Him, we will find hope restored. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...

Daily Devotion: An Important Question

By
In one of the great Psalms of thanksgiving, the writer asked a most pertinent question. “What shall I render unto the Lord for all of His benefits toward me” (Psalm 116:12) ? We may observe two elements in this question. The psalmist acknowledges having received many benefits, or blessings, at the hand of the Lord. For the believer, to be the receiver of blessings from the Lord is a fact beyond question. That is one facet of a proper perception of reality. However, for the unbeliever, or even for the nominal believer, such things come in the course of nature, or as a matter of deserving them. But to fail to see that such benefits and blessings come from the Lord is to lose touch with reality. The other element of the question is that the writer expresses a sense of obligation to the Lord and reveals a desire to do something in response to the amazing goodness of God to him. It is the reflex of the godly heart to desire to do something in response to the perceived go...
