Devotion for Friday, April 13, 2018

“But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.” (Psalm 75:9-10)

Know that the judgement of the Lord is righteous and true. He will not allow the wicked to ruin His Kingdom. Through Him all things will be as He wills them to be. He will prevail in all things. Therefore come to His throne and offer up your praise and thanksgiving, for He has looked upon You and made You aware of the truth and reality of the ages. Lift up your hands and praise Him.

Lord, all things are in Your hands and there is nothing of which You are not aware. Lead Your people into truth that they may learn in humility to praise You in all circumstances. Guide the humble to turn to You and lower the heads of the proud that they may know that You alone are God. Let all see that history is in Your hands and that all things will come about according to Your purposes.

Lord Jesus, You have taught us to take all things in prayer to the Father. You have taught us to pray. Lead me this day to learn from You how to walk through this conflicted world to be a person of honor and praise. By Your grace, guide me in the power of the Holy Spirit to live humbly as You would have me live, doing what You give me to do for the Father’s glory. Amen.
