TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 24 MAY 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 24 May 2024, Friday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Worshiping in the Darkness
I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to You.
Psalm 138:1
Recommended Reading: Job 42:1-6
The nineteenth-century South African pastor and writer Andrew Murray was feeling unwell one day when he wrote down a few paragraphs in his journal. The last line he wrote was a summary: “I am here (1) by God’s appointment, (2) in His keeping, (3) under His training, (4) for His time.”1
In short, Andrew Murray wrote down four reasons for worshiping God even in times of trouble. If we are where we are by God’s appointment, in His keeping, under His training, and for His time, what could we possibly have to worry about?
Those four points are usually what we think when things are going well, when we really feel like worshiping God. But if they are true all the time, even when things are hard, why wouldn’t we worship God in those times as well? We agree with Job: “Shall we indeed accept good from God and shall we not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10)
We don’t worship God because things are good or otherwise. We worship Him because of His sovereign oversight and care for our life.
Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light.
