Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 Morning I had said in my alarm, “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me.—“Water closed over my head; I said, ‘I am lost.’ I called on your name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit; you heard my plea, ‘Do not close your ear to my cry for help!’ You came near when I called on you; you said, ‘Do not fear!’” “Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Then I said, “I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the Most High.” I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.—I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! Ps. 31:22; Ps. 69:2; Lam. 3:54-57; Ps. 77:7-11; Ps. 27:13 (Read full verses...) Evening “When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him.” Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.—“Ask what I shall give you.” And Solomon said to God, . . . “Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people.”—And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and breadth of mind like the sand on the seashore. And Asa cried to the LORD his God, “O LORD, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. . . . O LORD, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.” So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians before Asa. O you who hears prayer, to you shall all flesh come. Ps. 91:15; 1 Chron. 4:10; 2 Chron. 1:7, 8, 10; 1 Kings 4:29; 2 Chron. 14:11, 12; Ps. 65:2 (Read full verses...) << Apr 15 | Apr 16 | Apr 17 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
