Friday, December 8, 2017 Devotion

“That Your beloved may be delivered, save with Your right hand, and answer us!  God has spoken in His holiness: “I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.  “Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter.”  (Psalm 60:5-7)

The Lord has spoken once for all.  In Him is the forgiveness, mercy and kindness to deliver.  Trust in the Lord and all His goodness.  We have been created to praise, thank and worship the Lord Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.  Everything belongs to the Lord.  We do well to walk in His ways, know the truth of the ages and rejoice in all that He is doing.  He is mighty and will deliver.

Lord, Your goodness comes anew each day, yet all around are those who seek destruction.  Guide me through the wilderness of this world to see in You the hope of glory and glimpses of what You are creating.  Lead me into Your salvation that I may walk as righteously as possible in this life, preparing for the life to come.  Lead me, O Lord, now and forever in Your goodness.

Savior, for that is the name You have been given Yeshua, Jesus.  You are the Savior who delivers as many as believe out of the captivity of this world and into the glorious presence of the Father.  Lead me through the hills and valleys of this world to simply walk with You all the days of my life.  Let me be a witness of Your presence to all around me that they too may see and believe.  Amen.
