Daily Devotional – Inspirational Who stood up for me against the wicked? Who took my side against evil workers? If GOD hadn’t been there for me, I never would have made it. The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,” your love, GOD, took hold and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up. Psalm 94:18-19 MSG A person in trouble can seldom say much, but that which is said is generally expressive. Take, for example, these words: they imply faith in the presence of the One who is able to help--abhorrence of the sin to which one is tempted--and confidence in The Lord’s willingness to save. This experience is a common one. All of us are, at some time, found in slippery places. We are the more exposed to falling when we are brought into circumstances of-- Poverty and want. Christ was tempted when He hungered. Of annoyance and vexation. Moses smote the rock in anger. Of dejection and perplexity and of sore bereavement and trial (Job). But in spite of all this, God gives comforting assurances for us to think about. The Lord makes himself a Key-thought to the thoughts that we should cherish. Illustrate how one may fill his mind with the exceeding great and precious promises, and how these will be always ready to come up, to dispel distracting thoughts, and soothe troubled thoughts. Gods comforts are thoughts that realize God as the Holy Father, Christ as the elder Brother, the Spirit as the present Guide, and all things working together for good.
