With God all things are possible

| What a joy it is for the believer to cry out to God for help when times of trouble draw near! There is nowhere safer than the arms of the loving Savior who made us and redeemed us for His glory.
In today's society we are plagued with an individualistic mind set. Rather than resting in the dependence we were created to have, we rest instead in our own wants and passions. This began in the garden with the first man and woman, and it continues today. The first rebellion against God is no different from the rebellion we experience today. Just as Eve chose her own way over her Creator's , we choose autonomy over submission to a holy God. Yet the psalmist reminds us that God is our rock, fortress, and hope. We were created to trust Him and seek Him above our own desires.
When trouble comes, to whom do you cling? When your enemies are all around mocking you to whom to you run? Let us be a people who trade our independence for a relationship with the Creator who made us. Let is find our strength in the Redeemer who rescued us from ourselves.
Psalm 71:1-13 In You, O Lord, I put my trust; let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline Your ear to me and save me. Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually' you have given the commandment to save me; for You are my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, O my God , out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth. By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb. My praise shall be continually of You. I have become as a wonder to many, but You are my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory all the day. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails. For my enemies speak against me; and those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together , Saying : God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him. O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor. Who seek my hurt.
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Father, guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You. AMEN
Have a VERY BLESSED day, with God the Rock of Salvation.
