My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors. Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love. Psalm 31:13-16 (NRSV) Be encouraged, God has you and every situation that concerns you in the palm of His hand. Always remember, your times are in God’s hands and God’s alone. When you are going through difficult times of any sort, continue to trust in God. When your foes plot against you or attack you, overtly or covertly, God is fighting on your behalf. He is faithful to keep you in the midst of the storm, fight your battles and rescue you from the snares of your enemies. As we meditate on the verse of the week, find peace in knowing that God loves you and His never ending flow of compassion and love will keep you. He loves you so much, that He hears your prayers and is faithful to answer you when you call. While you wait on God to deliver you, continue to trust and depend on Him. Take your focus off your adversaries and center your heart and mind on the Lord, with an expectation that He will move on your behalf. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
