Today’s Scripture
“Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did! He led us right into a place of safety and abundance, a suitable city to dwell in. So lift your hands and thank God for his marvelous kindness and for all his miracles of mercy for those he loves. How he satisfies the souls of thirsty ones and fills the hungry with all that is good! Some of us once sat in darkness, living in the dark shadows of death. We were prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets. For we rebelled against God’s word and rejected the wise counsel of God Most High.So he humbled us through our circumstances, watching us as we stumbled, with no one there to pick us back up. Our own pain became our punishment. Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did! His light broke through the darkness and he led us out in freedom from death’s dark shadow, and snapped every one of our chains. So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves!”
Psalms 107:6-15

Today’s Thought
Pain, as uncomfortable as it is sometimes, is an indicator of something that needs to be changed. If something is out of order it usually becomes painful, so if pain arises in an area of your life, look to see if something is out of order.

Today’s Confession
Lord, thank you for watching over me throughout my day. Sometimes when I stumble and find myself in darkness or pain, I know I can call out to you and you will rescue me. Help me to be aware of any area of pain in my life, so that if it is something out of order that I need to correct, I am able to.
