Hobart Herd Devotional \u2013 Psalms 28 \u2013\n5-28-20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   The Lord is my Rock, my Strength, my Shield,\nmy Saving Defense, my Shepherd.  These\nare all the titles for the Lord given in this chapter.  David\u2019s fear was that the Lord would be\nsilent to him and he would lose his faith and trust in such a way that he would\nbecome just like the condemned enemies of God. \nAs David prays to the Lord, He asks that God would distinguish him from\nthose who were His enemies who were doomed for destruction.  David had witnessed the judgment of the Lord\non his enemies and wanted nothing to do with God\u2019s wrath and judgment.  David was aware that it was the works of the\nenemies\u2019 hand that brought down God\u2019s judgment on them.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   David was so thankful to the Lord for\nhearing his supplication.  The fact that\nGod would stoop to hear and answer his earnest prayers brought a deep since of\nrelief, comfort and joy.  David was able\nto return to his confident faith in the Lord. \nPsalms 28:7-8, 7    The LORD is my\nstrength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; therefore my\nheart exults, and with my song I shall thank Him. 8    The LORD is their strength, and He is a saving defense to His\nanointed.(NAS)  It is so great to see the\nLord lift us up as we pray and seek Him earnestly.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Maybe\nthis is a day that I don\u2019t feel like the Lord is hearing my prayer and I am\ntempted to give up and go the way of the world. \nTruly, God has distinguished us and made us His children placing His\nHoly Spirit within us sealing us as His own.(1Peter 2:9-10)  Today I can put my trust in the Lord my Rock,\nStrength, Shield, Defender, Shepherd, Who is able to handle anything that comes\nmy way today.  May we truly give thanks\nand praise to the Lord for being all this and more to us.  I am humbled that He chooses to hear my\nprayers and speak to me through His Word by His Spirit.  May I never lose sight of Who the Lord is for\nme!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Father, You have given me Your Son as my\nRock.  When I build my life on Him I have\nyour power, provision, protection and purpose in my life.  I know that I sometimes think that You have\nforsaken me and begin to lose the hope and joy of my faith.  Thank You for being my Shepherd and leading\nme back to You and Your ways.  I trust in\nYou for today and know that You will carry me through.  In Jesus Name, Amen!  Pastor Rob \n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
