August Adoration: Day 5

"This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life." Psalm 119:50

I come to You this morning weak. A night of restless dreams. My mind a battle ground where the enemy tries to gain foothold while I sleep. He wages war, seeking to convince me my fears are greater, more important and more real than my faith. Continually he tries to destroy what You are building out of me.

Whenever You build me up, he immediately tries to find ways to tear me down. But You, You are greater!

Your truth stands firm against his most well planned attacks. "This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life." I take comfort here, Your word gives me life. 

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity." Jeremiah 29:11-14

When I have become captive, You desire to set me free. You have a plan to give me a future and a hope. I will call out to You, even with my weak words, because I know You are faithful to hear me. 

You give me victory!
