Psalm 81:11-16
11 “But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. 12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. 13 Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! 14 I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes. 15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever. 16 But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Take some time today to work through these verses slowly and answer some questions.
Am I listening to God’s voice by submitting to His way for me to live? Or am I stubborn and following my own ideas?
What anxieties or fears do I have? Would they still be part of my life if I trusted God to handle them?
What would the blessings of God look like? Where are desert places in my life that He could bring life to?
Prayer prompt: Lord, teach me to follow You into a life without fear!
