Psalm 142:1 I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord's mercy. 2 I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles. 3 When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me. 4 I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me. 5 Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say, "You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. 6 Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. 7 Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me."
Today, say what the Psalmist says in verse 7. Tell your Heavenly Father, "You are good to me." Okay, now this time say it like you mean it.
In the garden the serpent asked Eve, "Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?" Today he says to believers, "Did God really say He is good, or He is faithful, or He will work all things together for good to those who love Him?" And sometimes we allow our circumstances to say the same things. Stop listening to the serpent and your circumstances and proclaim with the Psalmist, "God, You are good to me."
Love in Christ,
