Psalm 31

“In you oh Lord, I put my trust…”

I don’t know how your day started off. Maybe you started late and feel as if you’re a hundred steps behind. Maybe it’s to early to tell. Either way, isn’t it encouraging to know that when things start to fall apart you can run a to mighty, loving God who will keep your world from caving in?

This is what His Word promises in Psalm 31. Psalm 31:1 says, “In you oh Lord I put my trust; never let me be ashamed; deliver me in your righteousness.”

I encourage you, wherever you are, to do as David did. Declare your trust in the Lord today. You may say, “ The Lord already knows I trust Him.” My response would be, “Then declare it.” This declaration of trust is not for the Lord’s hearing, but for your own. For He has endowed you, my friend, with great power and this power is released in your declaration!

Re-align your mind, will and emotions with the promise of His speedy rescue (Psalm 31: 2). Remind the enemy of his impending defeat and of your inherent victory. Let me remind you, your declaration shakes the darkness.

To every mother who reads this, know that as the nurturer of your home, you are literally a “life-giver” to your children. Your declaration breathes life!

To all fathers, know that as the priest and protector of your home, your declaration travels fast. It demands the response of the mighty angels of God and is heard in the enemy’s camp. Roar loudly.

To all young men and women of the faith, your declaration opens the doors to the path that God has called you to walk. It also reminds your flesh that the Spirit is in charge and not you!

Lord, I declare my trust in you today. You are the fortress for my heart and no enemy can penetrate what you have shielded.

I know that in You I will never be disappointed and You will never allow me to be put to shame.

Amen
