March 17 ~ Psalm 33:18-21
But the LORD watches over all who honor him and trust his kindness. He protects them from death and starvation. We depend on you, LORD, to help and protect us. You make our hearts glad because we trust you, the only God. Be kind and bless us! We depend on you.
Scripture taken from the Contemporary English Version © 1991,1992, 1995 by American Bible Society, Used by Permission.
Think about all of the people on whom you depend. If you are still living at home, you depend on your parents for food, clothing, and shelter – at least in part. You depend on your teachers to impart knowledge to you and help you learn. You depend on firefighters and law enforcement personnel to keep you safe. You depend on doctors to help you heal and stay well, the mail carrier to deliver your mail, and the banker to hold onto your money until you need it!
If any one of these people let you down, things start to go wrong in your life in a hurry! But we all know that people have limitations, and somewhere down the line, someone you are counting on for something will let you down, drop the ball, or totally fail you.
Aren’t you glad this is not the case with Jesus? Aren’t you glad we serve a God who protects us from death and starvation – both literally and Spiritually? Take comfort in knowing that the LORD watches over us and protects us. The next time you are fearful, worried, in need of some kind, overwhelmed, or some human being has let you down, think of Jesus. Remember that HE is always with us. Jesus never fails or disappoints. Honor Him and thank Him for loving us so well, and trust His kindness. Rest in the knowledge that you can always depend on Jesus to meet all of your needs!
