Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. (Psalm 32:10-11)
 
God controls and allows every detail of our lives. Nothing happens without His knowledge and approval.
 
Every day, little changes in schedule or small irritations occur. Everyday, we can choose to let these obstacles upset us, or we can rest in the knowledge that God lovingly ordained them as small irritants to help us look to and rely on Him. For example, we can grumble about the frustrating traffic jam that is keeping us from getting somewhere on time, or we can remember that God knows about our deadlines and view the time sitting in traffic as an opportunity to pray. We can complain, or we can rejoice.
 
May we allow the knowledge that we are continually surrounded by God’s unfailing love to permeate our lives and chase away our complaints and fears.
 
When I read this devotion is blessed me. It caused me to pause for a moment and reflect on how I’ve allowed obstacles to frustrate and upset me. What I need to do is rejoice even in moments of frustration. I needed this reminder today and I have a feeling, in the coming mornings as we rush out the door to start our day. I need to choose to set a better tone for our day and be a better example to my children. I hope and pray you are encouraged to do the same no matter what your facing. Rejoice! 
 
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Always in His Care

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (Psalm 32:8)

In Psalm 32, David celebrated the marvel of God’s forgiveness, guidance, and concern for us. Unlike a human father, God knows every detail of our lives and the deepest needs of our hearts. The Lord’s promise to us is, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (v. 8).

Whatever our circumstances today, we can rely on God’s presence and care because “he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about” (v. 10).

Dear Father in heaven, thank You for watching over me in love and guiding me along Your path today. Amen.

When I read this today it made me think of the comfort that comes from The Lord. We are never truly alone. We may be separated from family, friends and loved ones but when we have Christ in our life, He is always watching over us. He truly knows every detail of our lives and we can rest in knowing His mercy is round about us. So today when the enemy tries telling you your all alone, remind Him what the scripture says, He will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: He will guide thee with His eye. You are never alone.

Have a wonderful day in The Lord!

Today’s Reading is Psalm 32:1-11
