Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Psalm 117, 2 Samuel 17

Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10 ESV)

Today’s passage encouraged me to once again trust that what the Lord has ordained will come to pass. No one can thwart Him. No one can stay His hand. The safest place I can be is in the center of His will. I can trust His goodness and power to accomplish His purposes.

So I ask myself, am I working for Him or against Him?

Heavenly Father, I pray that the counsel I give to others will be founded on Your love and wisdom. Help me to trust You. Help me to put one foot in front of the other, doing the next right thing, and seeking Your guidance each step of the way. Keep me inside the guard rails that You have established. Help me to be discerning, so I can sort out what is Your voice and what is the devil’s, and then give me the desire and strength to obey. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen
