Lent Devotion | Day 27
The writer of these words had gone through many near-death experiences because of his enemies. He could have been overwhelmed with thoughts of fear and anxiety from his very difficult surroundings. But his words show us that he had cultivated a deep ability to find rest in God.
You and I can have this because of who Jesus is and what He has done. God became human, as Jesus, and is the bridge that connects us with God. He is relatable by prayer and by studying his scripture. He has characteristics that are better and stronger than us. The more we talk with him, the better we know him and can rely on him in times of trouble.
Jesus has power, love, and is just. That is a conviction upon which any heart can rest, and on which a stable society can be built despite all the difficulties of life.
Take time to call his name when you are in challenging situations. He hears you. You can experience peace that you didn’t have before.
