On St. Patrick's Day this week, I was out camping! But I had this great devotions book from a dear friend, along for the outing, and enjoyed the reading for St. Pat's Day. It helped me brush up on my history a little too. And since it's still the week of the holiday, I figure it's still cool to share it, right? :)
Here ya go...
MARCH 17
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
-Psalm 91:2
God's might to direct me,
God's power to protect me,
God's wisdom for learning,
God's eye for discerning,
God's ear from my hearing,
God's word for my clearing. --St. Patrick
WWJD? REFLECTION As a youth, Patrick was captured by pirates and sold as a slave. After six years of servitude he escaped and returned to his home, where he began the ministry that would ultimately lead to the Christianization of Ireland, which in turn became a center of Christian influence throughout Europe.
Many of God' greatest soldiers have undergone excruciating trials before God has used them. Jesus "learned obedience from what he suffered" (Hebrews 5:8).
Shall we not then endure whatever degree of trials God sends to mold us?
