Psalm 78: God Provides

I began reading this morning Psalm 78 which gives us the command to teach our children about the love of God so that they will teach their children. The rest of the psalm gives one instance after another where God had provided for His people when they believed He couldn't pull through. Whether it was battle, miracles, division of the seas, burning bush, water from rocks, manna from the sky and grain from heaven, God provided for His people when they didn't see how God could possible come through. That's kinda how I feel at the moment. I'm in this place where there is no way out. I try and try to just live a good life, pleasing to others, with a rare acknowledgment to the one God who knows exactly where I'm at, where I"m going and desires for me to please Him alone.

So I take these versus of scripture and begin the refocusing process. God will provide for me. If He doesn't have me where I am forever, that's okay. Wherever He takes me, whatever He has for me, I shall just follow and allow Him to provide for me.

Father,

I shall not turn from the one true God who holds my life in the palms of your hand. You guide my steps, plan my actions, and walk beside me. Father I need You. I need to acknowledge Your presence always, be bold in my faith and seek You with all my heart. Father You hold the answers in your hand as to the life I shall lead. I continue to pray for your guidance. I feel very lost, just going through the motions of the day to day. But this day is new, given over to You, we can accomplish together exactly what You have. May this day be different, may my thoughts be refocused back to You, each step I take in unison with yours so that I may not try to run ahead. Father, guide my words. You say just how powerful the tongue can be and I pray it is used to encourage those around me. Help me to do exactly what You have for me, say what you desire, and then do. Father I work for You. You have me here for a reason, and where You will take me I shall not know.

Jesus I pray these things in Your Holy name,

Amen
