Thurs., 8/7/14 Devotion (Ps. 7:1a)

Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 7:1a, where we read these words:

"O LORD my God, in You I put my trust . . . "

This is a succinct creed, and one worthy of our attention, respect, and imita-tion. David put his trust in the Lord, and not in anyone or anything else. Be-cause of this, God delivered him from his fierce enemies (mentioned through-out this Psalm 7).

Let us put our trust in Christ today. If we do, we will not be disappointed. We *will* be assaulted, and mistreated--but we will *not* be defeated or deserted. God will not permit those who trust in His Son to be left to their enemies' de-vices.
