Genesis 31:17-32:12 ~ Matthew 10:24-11:6 ~ Psalm 13:1-6 ~ Proverbs 3:16-18
Psalm 13 paints a vivid picture of the battle that often rages within every worshiper who experiences the oppression of evil - whether it be manifested through earthly or heavenly beings.
The Psalmist is transparent about the battle he faces in his mind every day. If we are being completely honest with ourselves and the Lord, we will have to admit that the battle ground of our thought life is hugely significant in terms of our spiritual health and effectiveness. Back in September of 2005 I wrote a short article called, "How To Maintain a Godly Thought Life." It may be insightful to read it as you respond to today's devotion.
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
Psalm 13:2, 4-6 (NIV)
Today, as an act of worship, may we respond the way the Psalmist did through placing great trust in His amazing love for us. Let us truly rejoice in His salvation, and sing His praises with all our heart.
