Bible Reading: 2081003

Psalm 123-130

"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Is-ra-el say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:" Psalm 124:1-3

Lord, I know that this verse is in the context of God being with Israel...but I know that it is true for all of Thy children...If You had not been on our side there where would we be. Not only I, but we all would have been utterly consumed. Lord, I praise Thee for Thy loving favor. Help me never to take it for granted and to follow after righteousness.

"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." Psalm 126:5

Lord, help me to be broken by the things that break Thy heart. I know that there are so many things that I have allowed into my heart that are offencive to Thee and I beg Thy forgiveness. Cleanse my heart from iniquity and help me to heed Thy word. Help me to fight my flesh and have the right attitude. I desire to love Thy law that nothing should offend me...especially the small, petty, insignificant things that are thrown at me on a daily basis. Help me to conduct myself as someone who loves Thee.

"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." Psalm 127:1

There are many desires and dreams that I have for my life, Lord, but I know that if I labor solely under my own efforts, that it is all in vain. Dear God, help me to seek to live my life as the righteous should and forgive the sins of my heart. Work in me that my life may glorify Thee in the end.
