Today's Scripture *July 2, 2010*
Psalm 31: 1-5
O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
Don't let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right.
Don't let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right.
Turn your ear to listen to me;
Rescue me quickly.
Be my rock of protection,
a fortress where I will be safe.
Rescue me quickly.
Be my rock of protection,
a fortress where I will be safe.
You are my rock and my fortress.
For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.
For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.
Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me,
For I find protection in you alone.
For I find protection in you alone.
I entrust my spirit into your hand.
Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God.
Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God.
We say we have faith in God, but do we really trust Him?
David's words, "I entrust my spirit into your hand", convey his complete trust in God. Jesus used this phrase as He was dying on the Cross--showing His absolute dependance on God the Father (Luke 23: 46 Then Jesus shouted, “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” And with those words he breathed his last.) Stephen repeated these words as he was being stoned to death (Acts 7: 59 As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”), confident that in death he was simply passing from God's earthly care to God's eternal care. We should commit our possessions, our families, and our vocations to God. But first and foremost, we must commit ourselves completely to Him!

Lord, we give You our hearts. We give You our souls.
We live for You alone. Every breath that we take, every moment we're awake. Have Your way in us.
As the psalm writer; Father, we too, commit our lives and our spirit into Your hand! In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you richly,
April
