My Devotion

Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to forever be seeking your presence and your companionship. Help me to recognize your presence through your awesome Holy Spirit. As I seek you Lord I ask that you deminish my fears and restore my fortunes according to your designs; according to your will and grace. Lord, I pray that all people would come to realize your greatness and the great joy that comes in holding to you, day in and day out, in Jesus name, Amen.

Psalm 53

Reflection
"Fools say in their hearts, "There is no God"... God looks down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise, and who seek after God" What do we get when we seek after God? The Psalmist doesn't exactly say... he does say that when deliverance comes fortunes will be restored and God's people will rejoice. What the Psalmist does spend more time on is talking about what is bound to happen to those who say in their hearts, "There is no God". Here the Psalmist is clear. "There they shall be in great terror, in terror such as has never been". Those who do not call on the Lord are headed for sure disaster. God will "scatter their bones", the Psalmist warns. Well, this is warning enough for me! Lord help me to find you this day and to call on you moment by moment, in and out of need. That I might know your presence and reep the benefits of your blessings... this day and everyday. Amen.
