Daily Prayer_June 29, 2011

The Word of God for wisdom:

Proverbs 29:12 (HCSB)
If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.

Proverbs 29:14 (HCSB)
A king who judges the poor with fairness— his throne will be established forever.

The Word of God for inspiration:

Psalm 93:5 (HCSB)
Lord, Your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness is the beauty of Your house for all the days to come.

The Word of God for encouragement:

Joshua 23:14 (HCSB)
"I am now going the way of all the earth, and you know with all your heart and all your soul that none of the good promises the Lord your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.

My observation:

Two servants of God who led God's people at different times in their history are in agreement in their testimony to the Lord, and in the presence of his people. Their testimony and my testimony is that God is a faithful God.

There are many things in this world, and many people in this world who are not worthy of our trust. You cannot count upon them to do what they say they will do. They are great promise makers, but they are not reliable as promise keepers.

The God of David, the psalmist, and the God of Joshua, is a God who makes a promise and keeps it. Therefore, his servants trust in him with their whole heart, and are blessed.

Psalm 91:2 (HCSB)
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Joshua 24:15 (HCSB)
But if it doesn't please you to worship Yahweh, choose for yourselves today the one you will worship: the gods your fathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my family, we will worship Yahweh."

My prayer:

Father God, Sovereign Lord, give us wisdom and discernment in the decision we make about who we will trust. Father, as for me, my trust is in the God of my salvation. Father, I have come too far, and seen too much to turn around now.
