Psalm 32:7 - In Tune With The Master.
Psalm 32:7 (NKJV) You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall
surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
COMMENTARY PEARL
Out West an old sheepherder had a violin,
but it was out of tune. He had no way of tuning
it, so in desperation he wrote to one of the
radio stations and asked them at a certain hour on
a certain day to strike the tone "A." The
officials of the station decided they would
accommodate the old fellow, and on that particular day
the true tone of "A" was broadcast. His fiddle
was thus tuned, and once more his cabin echoed
with joyful music.
When we live apart from God, our lives
get out of tune - out of harmony with others and
with God. But if we live in tune with the Master,
we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by His
beautiful music. As this new year begins, ask God to
help you tune your life every day to His Word, so
you can bring harmony and joy to those around
you. [Hope for Each Day by Billy Graham]
COMMENTARY
Each year in Oklahoma, we average more
than fifty tornados, typically resulting in
multiple fatalities. As you would imagine, we're
trained and prepared for the kind of severe weather
that often produces those twisters. We conduct
drills regularly - in our homes, schools,
businesses, even churches. If you live here, you learn
quickly how to look for a safe place and take
shelter.
Our lives often feel just as
unpredictable and dangerous. Our circumstances can change
overnight, relationships fracture and break, and
unimaginable obstacles crash into us. If only it were as
easy as looking for a storm shelter like the ones
we have in Oklahoma.
Where do you go when you're overwhelmed,
weary, anxious, afraid, and unsettled? What's the
first thing you do when you see trouble headed
your way?
God is our shield and protector, our rock
and our shelter. No matter what calamity,
natural disaster, personal crisis, or devastating
loss we face, we can run to him. When you pray
and spend time alone with him, you create a safe
place where you can always return.
Because we live in a sinful, fallen
world, you can be sure that you will face trials,
temptations, and tragedies. But God will always be your
hiding place. The winds of change and attacks of
the Enemy cannot harm you there in his arms. He
wants to hold you close and remind you of his
power, strength, and sovereignty.
Let him.
Lord, thank you for being my rock, my
hiding place. I am so grateful for having a safe
place in your arms. When storms come my way, I
will run to you. [Daily Power by Craig
Groeschel]
