Day 7 - (Today’s Bible readings: Judges 14; Psalm 6; Acts 17:10-21)
DON’T LISTEN TO THE NAYSAYERS
“Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord accepts my prayer.” (Psalm 6:8-9 ESV)
David calls out his accusers and calls on the Lord in tears. And God answers his prayer.
Too often, people listen to the naysayers of this world. Our culture mocks Christians, and too many wind up giving up.
When you experience ridicule for your faith in Christ, don’t listen to the naysayers. Instead, follow David’s example and stay close to your Jesus!
Almighty God, grant me the strength to refuse to give into the naysayers around me who are trying to pull me away from You. Please hear my prayer and keep me close to You forever. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
