Today’s Scripture 

“God, listen to my prayer! Don’t hide your heart from me when I cry out to you! Come close to me and give me your answer. Here I am, moaning and restless. I’m preoccupied with the threats of my enemies and crushed by the pressure of their opposition. They surround me with trouble and terror. In their fury they rise up against me in an angry uproar. My heart is trembling inside my chest as the terror of death seizes me. Fear and dread overwhelm me. I shudder before the horror I face. I say to myself, “If only I could fly away from all of this! If only I could run away to the place of rest and peace. I would run far away where no one could find me, escaping to a wilderness retreat.” Pause in his presence I will hurry off to hide in the higher place, into my shelter, safe from this raging storm and tempest. God, confuse them until they quarrel with themselves. Destroy them with their own violent strife and slander. They have divided the city with their discord.”     Psalms 55:1-9

Today’s Thought

You're going to have to face the enemies of life, it’s inevitable, they will arise from your enemy…But when we hide ourselves in the Word, God will overcome them all… God will confuse them and destroy them because He loves you and will take care of you.

Today’s Confession

Lord, I hide myself within your Word, it's hidden deep within my heart. When the pitfalls from the enemy try to divert me from my God given path, I know my God will overcome them all. You will utterly obliterate them because of your love for me. Your Word says you will never leave me or forsake me.
