TEXT:
Psalm 61:1-8
1.
O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer!
2.
From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
3.
for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
4.
Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings!
5.
For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved
for those who fear your name.
6.
Add many years to the life of the king! May his years span the generations!
7.
May he reign under God’s protection forever. May your unfailing love and
faithfulness watch over him.
8.
Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day.
(New Living Translation Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF THE LORD
The
Psalmist had experienced the blessings and protection of the Lord and came to
express his gratitude as well as seek further protection from this God that has
been so good to him.
Life
is filled with different experiences. As we live, we face good, bad and even
the ugly experiences. But as we continue to trust in this God who is our
refuge, the one who has the power over every situation, we will continue to
enjoy the beauty of His love as He provides, protects and guides us onto
everlasting life.
Draw
closer to Him today and make Him your dwelling place and He will give you a
reason to rejoice and be glad.
QUESTION: What
are your responses to life's challenges?
PRAYER: Help
me, dear Lord, to draw closer to You so that I can get the best of Your plans
for my life as I continue to live, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
