Daily Devo: Psalm 17

Today I used “Our Daily Bread“, which is a devo that my 95-year old Grandma uses. Yeah, I’m kicking it old school. The devo itself focused on the refuge of God, and was yet another contemporary piece looking back to the impact Hurricane Katrina had on people.

The reading was from Psalm 17: 1-9. While reading this I couldn’t stop thinking, “How can David speak so proudly about how obedient he was to God?”. I mean, when you say, “My steps have stayed on your path; I have not wavered from following you.”, that’s pretty bold.

Takeaway: My biggest struggle is seeing God as my only refuge, as I tend to “suck it up” when I’m faced when big things and just do more/faster. Maybe if I acted more like my kids and went to my father, I would feel less stressed and have a better relationship with him.

Prayer: God, help me be a kid again. Remind me to lean on you and not on my own abilities for the challenges I face. Thank you for being my perfect, loving father.
