Day 253 – Psalm 115

“The LORD has been mindful of us…” Psalm 115:12a

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S BLESSINGS

Trust in God was not just a whimsical feeling for the psalmist. He wrote with deep conviction and assurance that God would indeed bless His people.

“The LORD has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
He will bless those who fear the LORD,
Both small and great.”
Psalm 115:12-13
