God Today Devotions

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Psalm 138:8

God is our provider who supplies all of our needs. Whether our need is financial, physical, emotion, or spiritual; God will not hold back anything that is good from us. Our view is occasionally one of disappointment when we don't receive from God quite the way we had expected. We feel ashamed because of our feelings of anger, disappointment, and frustration; but God is already well aware of it and as difficult as it may seem He understands. As with any relationship we have to be honest in our relationship with God. When we are disappointed or angry we can bring those feelings to Him as well. He understands our feelings; but desires us to trust Him completely and to know that He will never leave or forsake us and that He desires good things for us not bad. He is always with us in the midst of any circumstance. He has loved us since before the foundation of the world. He has begun a work in our lives and He will finish it. Life may occasionally catch us off guard but God is never surprised.  

Prayer

You have brought so many good things in my life and I give you praise and thank you for them all. You have also seen my disappointments; I cannot hide them from you. Forgive me for my lack of trust in your care. I know that in all things you are looking out for my best. I trust you to fulfill in my life all things according to your will and your purpose. Amen.
