God’s Truth for Trying Times - 3/30/20

 

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

 

READ: Psalm 68:19-20

 

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.”

‭‭(Psalm 68:19-20‬)

 

CONSIDER: To know that we can cast our cares upon the Lord because he cares for us, and give our burdens to him, is of immense comfort. God is to be praised, thanked, and blessed because he daily bears us up, he daily bears our burdens. He’s our salvation. Salvation is only in the Lord Jesus Christ crucified, risen, and coming again. He is a God of salvation, he is the only one who saves, he is the only one with authority to forgive, and his merciful acts are based upon the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross. When you are concerned about your life and death, it is good to know that the Lord is a deliverer. Think of how many times he has delivered you from death. He has promised to deliver every Christian from death. We will live forever with him even after our earthly death. Jesus clearly said that he who believes in me will live even if he dies. So either way, believers are safe and secure in Christ.

 

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships? How does knowing that the Lord bears your burdens and delivers you comfort you and console your heart?

 

PRAY:‬‬ Pray these verses to God as a prayer. Pour out your heart in praise to God. Pray for others. Present needs to Him.
