Day 46 of the Psalms in 60 Days
Today’s Reading: Psalms 110-113
(Thanks, Ruth in the Desert, for your great reading schedule!)
Scripture: Psalm 112: 7
He will have no fear of bad news;
his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Observation: He who trusts in the Lord will have an eternal perspective and will not fear earthly setbacks and bad news.
Application: I wish I could truly embrace this verse. I am not a total worrier, but I am a bit of a worrier.
I want everything to go well so, all too often, I worry about how I’m doing something wrong, questionable things I’ve done, and I worry about bad things happening to my family, friends and self.
My son is growing into a worrier and I try to calm him with this, when he questions me on things:
“Do you trust that God is in control?” I ask.
Of course he always says, “Yes.”
“Well, God created me to be your mom, and he gave me what I need to know to do that job, so you have to just let me handle it and not worry, okay? Trust me,” I say.
“Okay,” he’ll say.
I continually pray that I can embrace that for myself.
God is in charge of me. I trust Him. I need to stop worrying so much and just pray, listen and follow.
Prayer: Lord, forgive my second-guessing and worrying. Please guide me to embrace this vers and make it my own.
I do not want to fear bad news, or even the idea of it. Instead I want to have a steadfast heart, continually trusting in you. Please guide me to that end.
Thank you, Lord for never letting me down. I am sorry for my fears. I do trust you.
