Walk Through The Bible 365 - DecemberSample

Looked Down Upon - Look Up! There will be times in our life that others will look upon faithful followers of Christ with contempt and scorn. Our faith in a loving God who forgives and provides for every need will be met with distaste because the world seeks pleasure, gain, and glory. The simple yet profound simile in Psalms demonstrates what this looks like: looking to the One who gives mercy. Believers wait patiently for God’s mercy to be granted. Prayer: Father, forgive those who have contempt for us who trust and live for you. We wait upon you for mercy, for it is loving, kind, and gentle. Have mercy on them and draw them to your presence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
