Psalm 94:18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,” Your unfailing love, LORD, supported me.
Commentary on this verse talks about how “…the very things which assault faith, and threaten to produce despair, may be made the opportunity for praise….” I love that idea, and it seems in keeping with the way God works. “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Gen 50:20).
Psalm 94:19 When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy.
I’ve centered myself on this verse time and again since anxiety pops up far too often in my life. Maybe I don’t use it as an opportunity to praise Him, but I absolutely try to use it as an opportunity to turn to Him, to lean into Him instead of my anxieties. It’s not easy, I’m still really bad at it, but I continue to try to lean in to Him instead of fret, and I count that as positive progress.
Psalm 94:22a But the LORD has become my fortress….
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You that You take the ways of this world and turn them toward You. Help me to lean into You, to praise You, to trust You always. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 94:22b …and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
Have a blessed day. I love you.
Like honey feeds the body..,His Truth rings through this devotion in a fresh way. I am continually blessed. Thank you. I love you.
