Psalm 115
Devotional:
O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield. (Psalm 115:9)
I praise and thank the Lord for He is our help and our shield. Trusting God is paramount in the Christian faith. Knowing who God is, is not enough. Even Satan knows who God is. The difference is trust – Satan does not trust God. We can fall into the trap of believing that we take care of ourselves. Satan tempted Jesus to provide for himself in the desert. He said, “You are hungry. Provide for yourself some bread.” Jesus was able to do that, but he chose to trust God instead. We will benefit by following His example. A shield deflects danger that is coming our way. God is our help and shield. Trust in Him alone.

Pray it:
Father, I confess I put my trust in things, people and even in myself. Forgive me for placing what only belongs to you in others, and give me the grace this day to see my need to trust you – and then to place my trust in you and you alone. Amen.
