Day 141 – May 21, 2021
Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18 – 19, Psalm 42-43, Psalm 55 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay; the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.” (Psalm 55:22–23) Psalm 55 offers a nice summary of what we read in 1 Samuel 18-19. David’s life is threatened by Saul, and the Philistines. David has God on his side and blesses him. He cares for him, delivers him and gives his enemies into his hands. When reading the Psalms, we are encouraged that David has experienced God in the midst of incredible despair. We can trust that he knows what is best, “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you.” David has been through quite a lot and his poems give us great insight into the faithfulness and trustworthiness of God. Cast your cares on the Lord, he will sustain you! Jordan
