Today's Verse: Psalm 34:7

Thursday, October 7, 1965

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
— Psalm 34:7

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

I don't see him, but I know he's there! He has promised never to leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6). He knows us inside and out (Psalm 139:1-23). The same angel of the Lord who destroyed Israel's enemies is now fighting to win the spiritual battle that rages around you and me (Matthew 18:10). In our Lord we can find deliverance!

My Prayer...

Give me faith, dear Father, to believe that your heavenly messengers are around me to deliver me to you with glory and great joy. Thank you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
