Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 Morning “I am with you to save you.” Can the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued? For thus says the LORD: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you. . . . Then all flesh shall know that I am the LORD your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”—Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.—Because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.—The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand. Jer. 15:20; Isa. 49:24-26; Isa. 41:10; Heb. 4:15; Heb. 2:18; Ps. 37:23, 24 (Read full verses...) Evening He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things. You have tasted that the Lord is good. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water . . . beholding your power and glory.—My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.—My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. When I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.—“They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”—They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.—“My people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the LORD.” Ps. 107:9; 1 Pet. 2:3; Ps. 63:1, 2; Ps. 84:2; Phil. 1:23; Ps. 17:15; Rev. 7:16, 17; Ps. 36:8; Jer. 31:14 (Read full verses...) << Jul 10 | Jul 11 | Jul 12 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
