Each Time I Read…

Each time I read the Psalms I am encouraged. today I read Psalm 76, which is short, but again I was encouraged. The psalmist writes about how God defeated the Egyptians when they pursued the children of Israel into the desert. He then goes on to say that this is what God does for all of us. He encourages us to keep our commitments to God because God is on our side and cut off the evil rulers of the earth. This latter point I believe deals with the dark forces behind the evil deeds and not necessarily the people. God is victorious and on our side!

Prayer
Father, You are an encouragement to us. You great and mighty deeds, down through time, have always delivered Your people. We are those people today. We praise and thank You. In Jesus name. Amen.
