Daily devotion – Wednesday 21st April 2021.
Psalm37:5 “Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”
You can’t stop a baby’s cry by giving her a rattle when she is hungry. She will just keep on crying until her hunger is satisfied by the food her little body demands.
Neither can the ache in your soul be satisfied apart from God.
David described the hunger of every human being when he said, Psalm 42:1 “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.” Psalm 42:2 “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns in us, faith cannot abide. When hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, love cannot dwell. When worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in.
In the same way, God will not share His rightful place in our lives with anything or anyone less than Himself.
Today, is anything crowding God out of your heart?
Do not give first place to anything less than Jesus Christ, but “commit your way unto the Lord…”
