Sun.’s Devo - Our Peace is in You

Read: Ps. 27-32
David wrote much about being attacked by his enemies who were flesh and blood. Our enemies are not flesh and blood but they are just as threatening. David found his peace in living in the house of the Lord and meditation on the Lord’s perfections. He pours himself into worship and God is his place of refuge. We have that same privilege. We can escape from the taunts in our minds by choosing to meditate on the Lord and putting our lives in his hands. Sometimes this is a minute by minute prayer. But this is where we find confidence to hold our heads high and know that the victory is in Jesus’s hand. He is the only one capable of changing the hearts of those around us or in our families. God can awaken dead spirits and put wisdom in them. God is the God of the supernatural. His nature is to restore. Like David, we can know that God is our only hope.
I love what Ps. 29 ends with: “The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.”
Thank you Lord for your peace! You refuse to let our enemies triumph over us. You turn our mourning into dancing.
