Todays promise: God comforts those who are persecuted Where do you turn when threatened? Send your light and your truth; let them guide me Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. There I will go to the altar of God, to God — the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, my God! Why am I discouraged? Why so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again — my Savior and my God! Psalm 43:3-5 NLT An appeal for guidance Being lost in the darkness can be a very frightening situation. But imagine if you were also being pursued by people who were out to kill you! This was the psalmists urgent dilemma, and he didnt know which way to turn. But he did know to whom he would cry out for help. He asked God to show him the way, to guide him in the truth, and to lead him to the Lords presence. Pray that God will guide your steps. Set your sights on your final destination — Gods dwelling place — and encourage yourself with the prospect of living joyfully in the Lords presence.
