FINDING REST IN GOD

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

(Daily Devotional)

Sunday 6th August 2017

TOPIC: FINDING REST IN GOD

TEXT:  "My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever"(Psalm 73:26)

When David fled from Jerusalem, driven from his home by his son Absalom who had gathered an army of supporters against him. As he escaped, he instructed Zadok, his priest, to take the Ark of God back to Jerusalem and to lead his people in worship there.

 

"If I find favour in the eyes of the Lord" he mused,” He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place. But if not, " Here I am, let him do to me as seems good to Him'(2Samuel 15:25-26). Perhaps like David, you've lost the power for self-determination. Someone has seized control of your life, or so it seems.

You may fear that circumstances and human tendencies have overturned your plans. But nothing can frustrate God's loving intention. Someone by the name Tertullian (150-220 AD) wrote , "Do not regret a thing which has been taken away...by the Lord God, without whose will neither does a leaf glide down from a tree, nor a sparrow of one farthing's worth fall to the earth". Our heavenly Father knows how to care for His children and will allow only what He seems best. We can rest in His infinite wisdom and goodness. So we can echo David's words: "Here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him". So if you feel helpless in life's fray, God's mighty power will be your stay: your failing strength He can renew; for He is God that cares for you.
