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 (in-cluding himself). Because of this sovereignly-given grace of faith, God deliv-ered David 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"]
