We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample

Day 124 of 365

As David navigates betrayal and pursuit, he turns to God as his constant help and sustainer. Psalm 54 expresses this reliance, proclaiming, “Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.” Even as threats close in, David finds strength in God’s unshakable presence. The Holy Spirit reassures us that we, too, can find refuge in God’s faithful companionship. In moments of vulnerability, the Spirit teaches us that true strength doesn’t come from avoiding hardship but from resting in God’s unwavering protection.

In Luke 22, Jesus surrenders to His Father’s will, demonstrating peace in the face of betrayal and arrest. His calm assurance reflects a deep trust in God’s purpose, even when facing suffering. The Spirit invites us to embrace this same confidence, helping us to see God as our shield and defender. Our trials are not wasted; they are places where God’s presence can shine, reminding us that He holds every detail in His hands.

Today, let the Spirit remind you of God’s faithfulness as your ever-present help. Release any need for control, allowing Him to carry your burdens and fill you with peace. Trust in the Spirit’s assurance that God’s presence surrounds you, guarding your heart and sustaining you through every trial.
