Deuteronomy 13 & 14, Luke 13: 1-30, Psalm 61
Psalm 61: 4-5 (ESV)
“Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under
the shelter of your wings! Selah For you, O God, have heard my vows; you have
given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
I like verses 4 and 5 from Psalm 61. In this verses David, the
writer of psalm, remembers even in his times of trouble that God had been faithful
to him in the past. David asks God to let him dwell in his tabernacle or tent
forever, and to let him take refuge under his wings. David remembers that God
had heard his prayers in the past and had responded to them. God had even made
David a king over the people of Israel. I love how David reminds himself and us
of God’s faithfulness to him in our past, and how God has heard our prayers and
answered them. Even in times of trouble, we need to remember how God has always
been faithful to us so we can give ourselves the assurance that God will not
abandon us. We might not always understand God’s plan for our lives, but we need
to have faith that God is always working for our good and is caring for us like
a good shepherd cares for his sheep.
