Pslam 81
Devotional:
You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you; I answered out of the thundercloud and tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah. (Psalm 81:7)
God tested His people, the Israelites, at Meribah by withholding water from them (see Exodus 17:4-7). We have probably all encountered a season in which we felt like our faith was being tested – maybe that is how you are feeling right now. If you have not experienced that, know the time likely will come and not when you expect it. These seasons show us if we really trust that God is good and in control. As we call to Him in our distress, we know He is listening and will answer…with a “yes”, “no” or “not now”. No matter what the answer is, it is His best for us. Pause to share your concerns, worries and cares with Him. He will deliver you and give you rest.

Pray it:
Father, I confess that at times my concerns, worries and cares seem bigger than you. Help me to trust in you no matter what the circumstances, knowing both the power and grace you have shown us in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Amen.
