Reading along with us in selections from Psalms? Here’s today’s reading:
Psalms 116-117 (NIV)
1 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.…..Continue Reading
These Psalms were great reminders of of the grateful state we should be at all times. He is with us in the good times and the bad and for that we are thankful. He sees beyond the current situation and has a larger plan for our lives and for that we should be thankful. He has delivered us so many times as He did with past generations and for that we should be thankful. He will never leave us and for that I am thankful!!
Nehemiah 13
Psalm 116 the writer is so Thankful for God responding to his pleas for answering his prayers, I think a lot of us could say when they were in great need the Lord saved them as the writer says.
Psalm 117
God’s love for all the world, every nation and his love is unlimited!
How great is our God that He condescends to hear our cries for help and then chooses to come and rescue us. Life can get quite a mess, so it is good to have God on our side. In being our help God shows how compassionate and gracious He is to us. He knows our frame and how our lives would be and yet is always available to us inspite of ourselves. How can we ever repay Him for all that He is and all that He has done? We really never can and yet being faithful and obedient to Him is a good start. It certainly puts our money where our mouth is and as James tells us, is the truest expression that we really believe Him. And how can we not after He has been so good to us?
Psalm 116. How awesome is our God. Heard our every cry. How many times completely out of strength. No human or medicine can help. Laying in a hospital and the peace of God comes through verse after verse. Truth after truth God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the simple hearted. Verse 12. How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me!!!!! I am so undeserving. No words!!!!
