Today is Friday, June 2nd, 2006; Karen's Korner #815

  A daily devotional from January from my email pastor friend Jeff White:

 

He is my defender; I will not be defeated.

Psalm 62:6

 

You are broke, your marriage is in shambles, or maybe you are in the hospital …The preacher says “Don’t worry, keep praying and God will handle it”.  Sounds good but what does God really do?

    He fights for us. He steps into the ring and points us to our corner and takes over. “Remain calm; the Lord will fight for you” (Exodus 14:14). 

    Also in James 5:16 we read “Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

His job is to fight. Our job is to trust.

Just trust. Not direct. Not question.… Our job is to pray and wait.
