Day 14

TUESDAY, MARCH 2
Scripture
Psalm 68

Devotion
The writer of Psalm 68, David, has extreme confidence in God. He says that God's enemies will flee and do it quickly as they fear His power and might. This gives me an image of God as "large and in charge". Then God is a loving Father, a confidante, a provider, a burden bearer, a savior of sorts who heals all in need.
Now the image changes to a kind, loving father holding his weeping and clinging child. We, in response praise, sing, rejoice, dance, shout to the heavens to thank our awesome God.
How often do I pray for answers to a concern and then forget to thank and praise Him? I'm afraid almost every time. I get so relieved at the outcome that I lose sight of giving the credit to the one who deserves it. Praise be to God for all He has done!

Prayer
Almighty and Powerful God, you are everything to us. We can trust you to provide all we need and be there for us whenever we are in need. We thank you for all the times you have been there for us and we were too busy to realize it. Help us to better know your presence and your love. Amen.
