When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

    Today we will be looking at one passage from the Bible and complete the S.O.A.P to encourage everyone with it. 


Scripture: Psalm 56:3-4, 8, 12-13
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? 8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? 12 I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. 13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.


Observation: David put his trust in the Lord in it all and believed that God hears every cry and prayer of his. Because of God’s love towards David, he thanks him and makes vows to him. 


Application: Just like David, I have the privilege and right to put my trust in the Lord. Even when everything seems like it's going against me, I shall put my trust in the Lord. I must believe that God heard and hears every cry of my heart. He knows my heart and my desires. This should drive me to pray more and more; knowing God’s love towards me and knowing that he has a record of my prayer life in his book.  When it gets difficult, I need to open up my heart before the Lord. He already knows everything, but he wants me to depend on him and open up my worries and desires of my heart to him. We then thank God in everything because of his steadfast love. Because of what he did for me on the cross. He deserves my praise. He deserves my time and energy. At its most!


To finish this devotion up, we say a prayer.
Prayer: Thank God 
    - For what he has done in your life already.
    - That he hears your prayers and knows the desires of your heart

Ask God  
    -To help you to trust him more and more. 
    -To stay calm in the midst of a storm. 
    -To help you to keep your eyes on the Lord and come to God with a heart of thanks. 


    Now, after completing this all, pray that God would give me a person in mind that I would be able to share this with someone. To be able to edify someone else. To encourage someone else. Pray and listen carefully. Someone may be in desperate need or just having a rough day and needs some encouragement. Go out there and be overcomers!

You are able to overcome

Overcoming      Was there a time when you told yourself, "I am not able to overcome that sin?" "I am not able to overcome my old self?" Maybe you have said this when you had a circumstance in your life and there was no way out. Well, it seemed as if there was no way out. Maybe you are going through something right now in your life and you are telling yourself, "No way, there is just no way I am going to overcome this in my life." Whatever that might be; debt, sin, a problem in life, issues at work, family issues, divorce, etc. We all go through these moments in our lives that throw us off a bit. Reading Numbers and in the 13th chapter, we read the story of when Moses sent one man from each tribe to check out the land of Canaan. It was beautiful, amazing, even had good fruits, but these men were afraid for some reason. They said, "We came to the land which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit." (Numbers 13:27 ESV)....
