Tues., 8/7/18 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 notice, attention, 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 foes (mentioned throughout this Psalm 7).

Let us, God’s church, put our trust in Christ today. If we do, we will not be dis-appointed. We may well be assailed and mistreated by those who hate Jesus—but we will *not* be put to shame. The Lord will not permit those who trust in His Son to be left to their enemies' devices.

[Puritan quote of the day: "After conversion, the saints have a principle [within them that is] contrary to sin.” —Jeremiah Burroughs, in, "Hope"]
