TODAY’S WORD…

.

You have done many good things for me, Lord,
just as You promised.
I believe in Your commands;
now teach me good judgment and knowledge.
.

I used to wander off until You disciplined me;
but now I closely follow Your word.
You are good and do only good;
teach me Your decrees.

.

Surround me with Your tender mercies so I may live,
for your instructions are my delight.

.

– Psalm 119:65-68,77 (NLT)

REFLECTION…

.

During those moments of spiritual crisis and of going astray,

the Lord does not give up on us

and He constantly calls out to us,

seeking our attention by any means

as He tries to make us see the saving truth.

.

It is only if we stop to listen to His warnings;

it is only if we humbly accept His discipline as a sign of His loving concern for us;

it is only when we allow Him to change us and to lead us back on to the right path,

that we truly appreciate the priceless value of His Law

and gladly and thankfully realise that He alone gives us life.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord, I believe in Your commandments – they are my delight and they give me life.

Through observing them I am drawn closer to You.
