But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalm 5:11-12
The final installment of these devotions directs our thoughts to the reality of the world around us. The world and its inhabitants are pleased with their wickedness, boast in their own accomplishments, have little acquaintance with telling the truth and revel in harming others. As a believer, we are reminded daily that this is not our home. However, while we are on this part of our journey and evil surrounds us know that your God is nearby. We experience His favor every day. Our Father delights in us, supplying us with joy and protection. His favor surrounds us with a shield.
Trust in the Lord in the Lord in your daily struggle, friend. Praise the One Who never takes His eye off His child! You are never alone!
