Daily D – Psalm 32:7-9

by David Bowman | Feb 1, 2023 | Daily D | 0 comments

Psalm 32:7-9 For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” (NLT)

People in true relationship with one another can say things to one another no one else can. What truth can God speak to your heart without you getting your feelings hurt? Is there something he could say that you would not receive well?

Notice verse 7. These are King David’s words to God. Verses 8 and 9 are God’s words to King David.

David says:

* You are my hiding place.
* You protect me from trouble.
* You surround me with songs of victory.

God says:

* I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
* I will advise you and watch over you.
* Don’t be a senseless horse or mule.
* Don’t make me use a bit and bridle to control you.

David says: “You’re my hiding place.”
God says: “Stop hiding and start walking.”

God is with us when we need a hiding place.

God is with us when it’s time to get up and get going.

God is with us when we are either ignorant or afraid.

Sometimes God nudges us forward. Sometimes he drags or pushes us forward.

What do you need from God today?
* A hiding place?
* A guide?
* A push?

Whatever it is, if you know him and belong to him, he has just what you need for this very moment and for whatever comes next.

I will trust God for what I need now and always.

Our Father, thank you for providing a hiding place. Thank you for providing wise guidance. Thank you for gentle nudges and full-force shoves as often as necessary. Thank you for keeping us moving in the right direction. Amen.

Daily D – Lamentations 3:19-27

Lamentations 3:19-27
“I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.”

Daily D – Job 32:1-5

Job 32:1-5 So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. But Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, became very angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God. He was also angry with the three friends, because they had found no way to refute Job, and yet had condemned him. Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he. But when he saw that the three men had nothing more to say, his anger was aroused.
