“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.” Psalm 37:5,6

How  many times have I seen the Lord lead me to trust Him instead of defending myself. And then He brought forth the truth to exonerate me. Not that I’m always right (!) but one of the Devil’s methods is to accuse us of wrong doing we did not do. In such a situation, rather than defend ourselves, it is much better to commit our way to Him, and wait for Him to work things out. Then our part is to forgive those who accused us falsely, to bless them in our words and prayers so God can break into their lives and protect them.

“You, Lord, are the God of all forgiveness; give us grace to grasp how much we are forgiven so we can forgive ourselves and then forgive others. May we keep on the whole armor to be useful to you and bring glory to your name. Amen.”
