February 19 Devotional

Scripture
Psalm 37: 18-19
"Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive a reward that lasts forever. They will survive through hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough."
Observation
God will take care of the innocent, blameless, forgiven. This does not mean perfect but that when I sin I confess them before God and pay restitution towards others. I am not perfect but blameless. God promises to take care of the blameless. He promises to
1) give them a reward that last forever.
2) they will survive through hard times
3) even in famine they will have more than enough.
Application
I want to be blameless before God. I desire to have my sins forgiven. I want to be in a right relationship with God and people. I can live with a confidence that even when things are tough, God will take care of me. I am in his hands.
Prayer
Make me blameless before you. Search my heart and remove any offensive way. I trust my life into your hands. I know you will take care of me and mine.
