Psalm 18: 25-50

Scripture

Psalm 18: 25-50 A Prayer for Equipping

Verse 30 As for God, his way is perfect.
All the Lord's promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.


Observation

We know that every single promise in the Bible is true. God is faithful! We are told that Jesus will return and so we know with absolute certainlty that He will return.

While we wait for His return we are protected. I am therefore not very concerned with the state of the economic world. Of course I am affected by it, we all are. But I am confident that I am protected by God. He will not allow more suffering than I can bear.

Application

I am waiting patiently for Jesus to return, but I am also preparing. While I wait I have three goals:
1. To know the the Lord and His Word
2. To raise my children to do the same
3. To ensure my family is physically prepared for whatever will happen with this country. I am preparing by having a store up food and supplies.


Prayer

Lord, thank you for your loving protection over me and my family. I pray for those members of my family and friends who do not know you that you will work in their hearts and they will come to know you. Please guide me along the right path as I work on my preparations.
