Dr. D's Devotional
Title: Sept 11, 2001

Sept 11, 2001
I received this email devotional today from another source
and thought it appropriate to post on this day of terror. Jesus is still
God, He is the same today and tomorrow as He was yesterday. The Word will
still stand after heaven and earth are done away with. We can still have
peace in the midst of turmoil. Continue to pray for wisdom for our leaders
and to bind the spirit of confusion.
Don't Be Disturbed
"The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices
of the people of none effect."(Ps 33:10)
You may be facing trouble today that's being caused by people who have willfully
plotted to do you harm. They may be trying to steal your business, your
home, your children, or even to destroy your marriage. If so, I have a word
of encouragement for you. According to Psalm 33:10, God will bring the plans
of those people to nought. He will make their devices of none effect. The
counsel of the heathen is brought to nought, but the counsel of the Lord
stands forever!
Remember this: When you make God your stronghold in the time of trouble,
no one can overcome you. No matter how powerful they are in the natural,
the odds are in your favor because you trust in the Lord. They may think
they've got an edge over you, but God is on your side and that gives you
the advantage!
Rest assured, you are eventually going to triumph over this trouble. In
the meantime, if you'll set your affections on the Lord, the thoughts of
His heart continually will be coming into your heart. "The mouth of the
righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of
his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide" (Ps. 37:30-31).
God's counsel will give you stability when all the world around you is shaking.
Evil tidings will not be able to steal your peace. The thoughts of God will
immediately rise up and rebuke the evil tidings from taking root in your
heart.
Don't let the temporary successes of the troublemaker disturb you. Instead,
"mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is
peace" (verse 37).
