Psalm 86, thank the LORD!

Good afternoon,

As we continue with Psalm 86, I recognize a pattern of David's writing. He cries out to the Lord, then praises the Lord. Verses 6-7 fall into the category of crying out to the Lord. David cries, "Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me."

I have cried out to the LORD too many times to count over the last fifteen years. Actually, for most of my life I have cried out to the LORD! I would imagine that as long as I live in this world, I will cry out to Him. Do you cry out to the LORD?

David says that the LORD answers him. I believe the LORD answers our cries. Chris Tomlin has a song called, "Good, Good Father." The LORD is a good Father. He hears our cries and knows what we need when we are in distress.

I am so thankful for the LORD'S mercy. Without mercy, all of us would never know the LORD, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit! The Father's mercy led to Jesus coming to earth to save the world, (John 3:16).

If you do not know Jesus, then pray this simple prayer, "Jesus, I know I am a sinner. Please come into my heart now. I want to go to Heaven when I die. I want to change my life. I know that I cannot change my life without your help. Thank you Jesus for loving me! Amen!

Now, go tell a christian or go to a bible teaching church and tell the pastor! God Bless YOU!

SO VERY TRUE!

Psalm 86:4-5. Joy, Forgiveness, and Love

Hi there! I hope and pray your day is going well.

For last three days, I have been sleeping more than usually. I know my immune system is not 100%. Maybe, I am fighting off a cold of flu.

In Psalm 86: 4-5, David requests, "Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you."

I know that I do not ask the Lord to, "Bring joy" to me often enough. I realize that I am a servant of the Lord and need to trust him more everyday. What about you? Do you ask for joy? Do you trust in the Lord?

I admire the way David writes! In one line David asks the Lord and in the next, he is praising the Lord! Yes, praise the Lord that he is, "Forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call on you." I cannot imagine my life without the Lord! 

Let us remind ourselves of who we are each day! We are the sons and daughters of the One True King. If we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, then we are able to ask for joy, forgiveness, and love from our Heavenly Father! Amen!

I am HIS,

No matter how we feel, Jesus loves us!
