1 Samuel 3:1-21; Isaiah 46:1-13; 2 Corinthians 6:11-7:16
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Psalm 61:3-4
What a contrast this psalm is to some previous ones that were full of lament! It is so positive in its outlook, full of confidence in God’s help and protection. What great blessings we have in God when we are following Him as we should. Even though trials and persecutions may surround us, yet there are always things we can praise God for.
Let us make sure that we cultivate a positive attitude and don’t concentrate on negative things. —G. Frear
O my God, please hear my cry,
Lead me to the Rock so high;
You are my shelter and my tower,
I’ll trust beneath Your wings of power. —G. F.
