Mon.’s Devo - Hope for Tomorrow

Read: Ps. 121, 123-125, 128-130
When I read Ps. 121 I can’t help but think of what is going on in the world today especially in the Middle East. God is not asleep. He is Israel’s keeper and He is our keeper. Nothing happens that He isn’t aware of and watching over.
Psalms 123 reminds us to look up when everything is going south. God will have mercy on us and will come to our rescue in time.
In Psalms 124, David proclaims that God is on our side! How can we fail? He will not give us up to the enemy but will give us a way of escape.
In Psalms 125 we find peace when we trust in the Lord. We will be rewarded.
Psalms 128 is such a good promise for our posterity. They shall be blessed and see good and experience peace if they fear the Lord.
No matter how bad our past has been, Psalms 129 reminds us that there is a judgment one day on the wicked, but we will be blessed.
We feel the anguish of David’s heart as he looks at his nation and the sin he sees in Psalms 130. He knows that in God there is forgiveness and redemption. We pray this for America.
Lord, thank you for the encouragement of today’s Psalms. We know that if we trust in You everything will be alright.
