Devotional for August 24

The Lord Shall Keep You

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalm 121 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

The desire for fitness leads to seeking the light of better nutrition and exercise. The desire for abundant life leads to seeking the light held out in the Word of God. Where the Lord reigns in the heart, there is light. When we come to it, we desire even more of God. Darkness is easily seen as a hell on earth swallowing up all who refuse to believe the Word of God. Do you believe the Gospels? Believing first creates the desire for God in our heart, and then overflows as the desire of God though us toward the world. Take no backward step. God desires to bless you.(John 1:1-4; John 3:16-20; John 10:7-11; Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 19:25; Matthew 16:24-25; Mark 12:30-34; 1 John 2:7-11; Matthew 7:24-29; Luke 6:46; Matthew 6:19-23; Matthew 7:13-14; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Romans 5:5; Philippians 3:16; Proverbs 16:3; Psalm 40:8; Jeremiah 29:11-13; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
