Trust: our theme for the year... beyond that what does trust really mean? There are all kinds of things that people put their trust in. Trust in money, Trust in your house, Trust in your future, Trust in yourself, and Trust in other people. The problem is... All of these types of things or people may fail. Then what? We have to reach up with empty hands and trust the only one who never fails, Jesus! He is our constant protector, our refuge, and the Holy one we must place our trust.
Only a little more than a week remains until our team departs for our mission trip to the village and we ask for your fervent prayers. We know that we are fighting a Spiritual battle and when the devil knows good things are about to happen (in the name of Jesus) he doesn't like it. Please pray for our protection above all. I came across this in my devotion this morning and thought I would share.
The Psalmist declares `Let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you` (Psalm 5:11). By trusting ourselves to God’s protection, we are kept safe from the enemy and given reason to rejoice and be glad. Of course this doesn`t mean that bad things won`t happen. Believers still get flooded, wounded, or even killed. But the truth is that when we`re under the spiritual protection of the Lord there`s a place of inner safety, which is unassailable by the enemy.
Praise God!
