Today's Devotion:
"HELP is ON the WAY"
One of the funniest lines I ever
read:
"I'm from the government, and
I'm here to help."
_______SCRIPTURE_______
Ps. 34:11-15
11 Come, ye children, hearken
unto me: I will teach you the fear
of the LORD.
12 What man is he that desireth
life, and loveth many days, that he
may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and
thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon
the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.
KJV
_______THOUGHT_________
David has stated his experience.
He committed to God, and God
provided every need for him.
Now David begins to encourage
others through this song to live
with God at the FOREFRONT of
their lives.
The real "fear" (awesome reverence)
for God is displayed in living the way
God TELLS us to live in His Word.
That living can be generally summed
up in verse 14.
And verse 15 is AWESOME!
Remember, I said we'd discuss
verse 7 more when we came to
this verse.
Verse 7 speaks of "the angel of the
LORD."
The word "angel" means messenger.
The word "the" is specific.
There is One and ONLY One
Messenger of Jehovah; that is
JESUS CHRIST!
Think about that!!
Jesus is constantly surrounding His
people with his presence, protection
and provision.
Now, look at verse 15 again.
Not only is Jesus constantly
surrounding us, but He is
LOOKING to see what help
He might need to give!
And THAT is exactly the theme of
this song.
If a person truly has committed to
live for Christ, and is trying, that
person can EXPECT help from
God in EVERY situation!
WHAT A WONDERFUL THOUGHT!
This does NOT say that those
living for Christ will be WITHOUT
trouble.
In fact it intimates that trouble is a
CERTAINTY.
How else could we need God to
DELIVER us unless we were in
trouble?
Love ya!
