Daily Bible Reading - Thursday - April 29th

Boy did I need the devotional this morning.  Life sure has its way of creeping in surprises unexpectantly and it’s like WHAM I gotcha!  All we have to do is hide ourselves in God and CHOOSE to trust Him and He’ll come through on our behalf every single time.  Oh how blessed we’ll be when we make that most important decision to put our trust in Him.  Make the right choice today, you won’t regret it.

Today’s Reading

Daily Devotional

"Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust…"
(Psalm 40:4, NIV)

Is your trust in the Lord today? Trusting in the Lord is a decision we make just like we choose anything else in life. You chose what to wear today, you probably chose what you would have for breakfast, and you can choose to trust God today, too! And just like the decision to receive salvation, when you choose to trust God, there is a peace that settles on the inside of your heart. There are blessings in store for you when you trust Him.

No matter what you are facing in life today, you can have faith that God will come through for you. You can trust that His Word is always true. In Psalm 32, David calls God his "hiding place." In other words, not only can you choose to trust God in the midst of your difficulty; you can actually hide in Him and find rest for your soul. When the cir****tances of life seem to be overwhelming, choose to trust that God is ordering your steps. Find security in Him knowing that He's making your crooked places straight and leading you into the everlasting life He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, today I choose to put my trust in You. I know You are a good and faithful God, and I trust that You have my best interest at heart. Help me stay focused on Your goodness today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
