Reading: Genesis 50, Exodus 1, Psalm 140, Acts 24, and Matthew 17
Scripture: Psalm 140:12-13, I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.
Thoughts: Fear and anger are the two easiest emotions and state of mind to get into. Over the course of 2020 the world was placed into a state of fear. The fear of COVID has cased otherwise rational people to become hoarders and drove people into angry rages over whether of not to wear masks. There are passages all over the Bible telling us not to fear and that we are not to sin when we are angry. After crying out to God for most of this Psalm he comes down to accepting that God with maintain him and execute justice. We are to give thanks and worship in His presences in the middle of adversity.
Prayer: Lord God you are so wonderful, you take care of all our needs and lead us to green pastures. You are worthy of all praise and worship. I ask that you help us to keep our eyes on you and not let the worry and fear that the world brings to weight us down. Help us to rise up in your name to spread your love and the Good news.
