Today's readings are Psalm 21.1-7, 1 Samuel 19.1-24, and Acts 28.1-15.
Our Psalm today proclaims that we can trust in God no matter the circumstances. We see David and Paul living this out in the other readings. What is there for us to fear? Do we fear the unknown? There is nothing which is unknown to God. Maybe we fear what we know? Is there anything that we will face today which Jesus has not faced? There is no pain, no terror, which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has not faced, endured, and triumphed over. There is no situation that he cannot redeem by his grace. No, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ (Romans 8). Then let us be strong in the Lord, trusting his loving care for us in all that he has given us this day. It is all under his loving, protective grace.
