Scripture – 2 Kings 14-15, Psalm 143 & Revelation 2-3
Observation – Psalm 143 7-8
7 Answer me quickly, O Lord!
My spirit fails!
Hide not your face from me,
lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Application – I am really enjoying reading and concentrating on Psalms with this reading plan. In the past, I have sort of skimmed or quickly read through Psalms, but I’m really trying to pay close attention to it. The writings really are powerful and, like I said yesterday, I really can see myself saying these things. I think I have said these things before.
Prayer – God, I cry out to you from the deepest part of my heart. I love you so, so much and want more of you in my life. Please take the dark parts and make them light! Holy Spirit, come! I’m waiting on you to move.
This is such a side note…but I’ve thought so many times today that 17 years ago today…yes, 17 years (that is just insane) I went on my first missions trip from Iowa to the NE US. I am a freak about remembering dates and for some reason this has always stuck with me. I actually overslept that nice Monday morning and was almost late. Tania totally remembers this because of all of my planning and packing ahead only to oversleep on the actual day.
Anyway, that trip was life changing. I knew then that I would never be the same again.
