November 10 - Goodness in the Land of the Living

Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

Psalm 27:12,13


Thought for Today:  We all face many enemies in this life, whether it be the forces that wage inside of our own spirits that go against God's best intent for us or another person's intent to do us harm in some way.  How would you define your enemy: internal or external?


Dean Inge wrote: “Let us remember, when we are inclined to be disheartened, that the private soldier is a poor judge of the fortunes of a great battle."  Do you feel that you are about to lose heart, to give up on a situation in your life that seems impossible?  Trust that even though you may not yet see the end result,  the Lord does have your good in mind.  He who made the stars walks with you even through the darkest days. Can you trust Him to deliver you and show you His goodness in this life?
