Psalm 108
Devotional:
But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.” (Psalm 108:9)
I praise and thank the Lord because He is faithful. What is the significance of God throwing His shoe? In the Middle East, throwing your shoe at someone is considered a sign of disrespect. Edom was the enemy of God and His people. They came with a mighty army to take the land. God (figuratively) calmly sat down to wash His feet and then threw His shoe at Edom. In a way, God was saying to Israel, “Relax, I’ve got this.” Events that frighten us do not cause God to wring His hands. He knows when He will act and He will triumph! We are secure because God is faithful, and He cannot be moved from His own purposes.

Pray it:
Father, I confess how I have often disrespected you both in my actions but also through my lack of trust in your plan and your power. Forgive me for these sins, and empower me to honor you through trusting you this day. Amen.
