Devot. In Time of Trouble, Hope in the Lord, Mother's Day

Hi Folks, 

I hope you are having a good week!!!

Happy early Mother's Day to all the moms-whether you are a biological mom, adopted, spiritual mom (i.e. you are intentionally making a spiritual and life changing impact on other ladies by putting a love for Jesus, Scripture, prayer and godliness in their lives by your words, actions), or auntie.   There are passages all though Scripture that show the impact a godly woman can make in the lives around her!

I have a few things below:   One devot. one devot. is a prayer for us to have hope in the Lord at this time, one is a Mother's Day devot.   and the last one is an encouraging reminder that God is with us in this unique time. 

I pray each person will find something to encourage them this weekend!  

Lord bless you and yours!

Hope in the Lord:

March 15, 2020 In Time of Trouble “For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.” (Psalm 27:5)  In this psalm of praise, David expresses his confidence in the Lord, even though “the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh” (v. 2). In spite of the danger, he looks to God for safety. “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (v. 1). Why did God preserve David? The answer is at least twofold. First, David had a heart for God. “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple” (v. 4). “Thy face, LORD, will I seek” (v. 8). “Teach me thy way, O LORD” (v. 11). The second reason is the nature of God Himself. God, by His very nature, hates evil and extends grace toward His own. He is pictured here as a warrior conquering the evil enemies of David. His laws forbid their actions; His gospel robbed these evildoers of their grip; His final kingdom will be rid of them. Until God’s justice, His gospel, and His purpose all fail, we can be sure that He will act. In our text, David is hidden in the Lord’s “pavilion.” The word, which literally means a protective covering, was used for the tent of the commander-in-chief. Here, with the commander-in-chief, is the most fortified, guarded, and safe area of the battleground. If the pavilion falls, the battle is lost and God has failed. Hidden in His pavilion, we are as safe as He. He sees to it that we are not frightened (v. 13) amid the din of battle, and we shall share in the ultimate victory. In this world, we have tumultuous war; in the next, unbroken peace. Assured of the outcome, we can “wait on the LORD: [and] be of good courage” (v. 14).
