IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, APRIL 4, 2012
BLESSED
Great blessings belong to those who depend on you for strength! Their heart's desire is to make the trip to your Temple. Psalm 84:5(ERV--easy to read version)
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Psalm 84:5KJV
As I depend on the Lord for strength, I see His hand of blessing. How much better it is to accomplish a task by praying through it, praising through it, and trusting through it, instead of leaning on the arm of flesh, or trusting in one's own strength. Scripture tells us: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might" (Ephesians 4:6). Jeremiah 17:7 declares a truth: "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." Yes, great strength is in our God, and we know that he will empower us and enable us to accomplish all of our work with power and grace, and will anoint us to achieve our heart's desire.
Today, let us be blessed!
