PROMISE #198 - JULY 17

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. ~Psalm 138:7

Currently, I am thinking of Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls, Canada, for this promise. I picked it because it represents a sense of being overwhelmed by an unstoppable power that never ceases. I see myself standing in the midst of this torrent of water and the power of the rushing water around me takes me in.

The psalmist pledges that even if he walks through trouble, God will extend His right hand to save him from his enemies. God is able to save us; He will silence us with His love. We read in Zephaniah 3:17, "The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing." God will save you in the midst of your troubles, no matter what your situation or how impossible the odds!

Today, I invite you to embrace your heavenly Father and feel His strong arms wrap around you as He comes to your rescue. That’s what great fathers do. They protect their children in their difficulties. And because we know God is the best Father ever, we have all confidence to believe He will come out with His mighty right hand and save us in every situation.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for Your promise to deliver me in my trouble. You are a loving heavenly Father who hears the cries of Your children. So today I choose to lay every care on Your strong shoulders because I know You care for me. I know that I am safe and secure in Your loving arms, and that is where I choose to rest today.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
