Today I want to share THIS from Jerry Savelle's website devotional!
THE DAY OF TROUBLE
In Psalms, David often talks about the day of trouble. Can
you relate? Have you ever felt like you were in the day of trouble?
What is the day of trouble? It is a time in which it appears
that every demon of hell has launched an attack against you, like they have
ganged up at your house. It’s when it looks as though everything you are going
through is impossible to overcome. The pressure is great.
When you are experiencing the day of trouble, you don’t
sleep well at night and during the day you are doing all that you can just to
keep your sanity. It’s when you are doing all that you know to do, but nothing
seems to change.
You might be in the same place today. Maybe you need some
answers, wisdom, direction, and guidance. Maybe you are at a point where you
don’t know what else to do. Well, I have good news for you.
Don’t ever take your eyes off of God, even though it appears
that nothing is working. Don’t ever take your eyes off of God.
Psalm 20:1-5 says, “The Lord hear thee in the day of
trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the
sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all thy offerings, and
accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and
fulfill all thy counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of
our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.”
Notice what the Word says God will do for us in the day of
trouble. He will hear us, defend us, send us help, and strengthen us. He will
remember our offerings and fulfill all our petitions. Those are powerful
promises.
So if today seems to be your day of trouble, then I want to
encourage to read Psalm 20:1-5 over and over again. Begin to meditate
on those promises and be encouraged. God will defend you. God will help you!
AMEN! He never changes and HE loves YOU! Here is Hillsong with an old song called "This Is How We Overcome":
Your light broke through my night
Restored exceeding joy
Your grace fell like the rain
And made this desert live
You have turned my mourning into dancing
You have turned my sorrow into joy
Your hand lifted me up
I stand on higher ground
Your praise rose in my heart
And made this valley sing
You have turned my mourning into dancing
You have turned my sorrow into joy
You have turned my mourning into dancing
You have turned my sorrow into joy
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
Shalom in Him!
