Today's encouragement comes from David's Holy Spirit-inspired words of Psalm 31:14 & 15a:
"But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, 'You are my God.' My times are in Your hand . . . "Are we confused today about how to pray, or how to live? If so, here is a good and simple place to start. God is pleased with faith, no matter what the rest of our lives lack. He also delights to be "owned" by His Christ-loving churchmen—so we ought to pray, "You are *my* God." If we are concerned about our fu-ture, or that of those we care for, it is helpful to recognize that our times are in God's hands.
If we are regenerated by the Holy Spirit, we experience daily a supernatural refreshment from Jesus, the never-ending well-spring of eternal life.
[Edwards quote of the day: “Christ gives to those who come to Him such comfort and pleasures as are enough to make them forget all their former la-bor and travail” —Jonathan Edwards, in his sermon, “Safety, Fulness, and Sweet Refreshment in Christ"]
