Fjeldberg – Devotion for April 8th, 2025
READ (Psalm 20:4-5)
“May (the Lord) grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your plans. May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.”
REFLECT
I believe that all of us have or have had dreams and plans to achieve something wonderful. We may face many disappointments and, in the darkest times, despair of ever achieving the desired goal. But God’s timing is not ours and cannot be known to us. So, we can be surprised and so very happy, after our hope has faltered, to have our desires fulfilled after all. I hope that has or will happen for you, as it has for me. Whenever it does, as today’s Bible text intends, let us all shout for joy when God answers prayers. It tells us God is near and he is listening. How glad we should be when others achieve their dreams, no less glad than when our prayers are answered.
PRAY:
Dear God, please support us in the times of doubt. Let us rejoice in the fulfillment of others’ dreams. May our desires be worthy of your care.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
