Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 28th October 2022

Morning
October 28

Psalms 118:6-8 6The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 7The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies. 8It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

We have come to the center of the Bible. Here is the core of it all. The LORD is with those who call on Him in truth. If the Creator of heaven and earth is with you, what have you to fear? Throughout Scripture, God's promise to those who sought Him was, "I will be with you." As long as the LORD is with us, we can be certain that things will turn out in the end. Emmanuel, God with us. It is an incredible thing that God would dwell with man, but He has since creation and He always will, for He has set His love on us.

The world will always look to man, man's wisdom, man's counsel, and man's strength. That often sets believers at odds with the world. But why fear or be concerned? What is the worst man can do to you? As the Apostle Paul said, (forgive my loose paraphrase) "If you kill me, I get to go home to be with Jesus. If you beat me, I just keep laying up treasures in heaven. Take your pick, either way the LORD is with me and I get blessed."

The enemies of the LORD will be defeated, but even now, I am more than a conqueror. I'm a mega-conqueror, because the LORD is with me! Because He is with me, I have the victory in life and in death. You can trust in men if you want, but that is a losing bet. He will lose in the end, guaranteed. Or you can trust in the LORD. That is a guaranteed win. What is your situation in life today? Where are you placing your trust? I hope it is not in man and man's best, even if that man is you. The old expression, "You can only trust yourself," is pathetic.

Remember: Trust in God! Let Him be your helper. Let go of fear and watch the God of all creation show you His ways.

Today's Daily Encounter Wednesday, March 27, 2024 Abandonment Issues — Resolved! My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?... those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever!1 There is a seventeen-year age gap between my youngest brother and me. My mom had in me a built-in babysitter and so, my baby sibling and I became very close. However, a year later, when the time came for me to leave home, my brother, who had become very attached to me, found it hard to let me go. Years later, due to the fact that my family was serving in a church in Mexico, I decided to return to my parent's home during my pregnancy to receive maternity care in the States. My brother, now grown, approached me one day and told me how much he enjoyed having me home again, but wasn't sure he could handle it if I abandoned him again! He was joking, of course, as he went on to tell me that he had suffered "abandonment issues" and it was all my fault!   This cute little anal...
