October 28, 2024 - 2 Samuel 22:1-6

22 And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said,

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
3     my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation,
    my stronghold and my refuge,
    my savior; you save me from violence.
4 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I am saved from my enemies.

5 “For the waves of death encompassed me,
    the torrents of destruction assailed me;
6 the cords of Sheol entangled me;
    the snares of death confronted me.

 

How much time and money do people spend on security?  Making sure their homes, belongings, cars and family are safe?  These verses show us the true place to seek safety and security is in the Lord.  When you are feeing vulnerable do you run to your pastor, neighbor, friend, or counselor, or do you cry out to God?  I’m not saying we shouldn’t take measures to keep our worldly goods secure.  We are called to be wise, but I find so often I spend more time and money on those things and just my leftover time for God, if I have time left at the end of the day. 

What are your priorities?  Look at your calendar and see if there are things you spend time on that aren’t really worthy of your time and attention.  Are there some changes God is calling you to make?  Don’t put it off until tomorrow, because tomorrow truly never comes when we do that.

What can you do today to make God a priority in your life?

  July 20 –Genesis 47:13-22 Click on link to listen to content of this post: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/M2klJcYOABb Father God, help me be a person who shows concern for others to a point where I am uncomfortable. So often we are willing to help others, but not if it puts us out or causes us work. Help me love unconditionally and act on that love. Joseph spent most of his life with Egyptians, but certainly not in comfort until the last years regarding the famine, but yet he grew to love them to a degree he worked to make their lives better. I pray Father that You help me to love like that. Help me remember to act on the love for others and be Jesus to those around me. In Jesus’ name. Amen! I find this so interesting. Joseph, not an Egyptian, sold into slavery, and imprisoned in Egypt for years because of an Egyptian who lied about him. But here he acted out of great concern for the Egyptians, basically saving their lives. Jospeh looked out for the welfar...
