I
Took My Troubles To The Lord;
I
Cried Out To Him,
And
He Answered My Prayer.
Scripture
Psalm
120
1
I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered
my prayer.
Observation
This
morning's Bible reading took me to Job, Psalms, and Galatians. All
three passages talked about our relationship with our Heavenly
Father.
Job
was crying out to God trying to understand why God had allowed such
terrible stuff to happen to him. Job's friends were not comforting
Job at all with all of their bad counsel.
The
Psalmist that wrote Psalm 120 also cried out to God, but he was
praising God because God had answered his prayer.
In
Galatians 3 & 4 the Apostle Paul explained to the Galatians that
God's Holy Spirit lives inside of us as believers and because of that
we have the privilege of addressing God in a very intimate way as
“Abba” or “Daddy”.
God
has adopted us as His very own children. We are His heirs!
Jesus
Christ did all of that for us by dying on the cross for us.
Application
When
I pray I know that my Heavenly Father hears my prayers and I know
that He will answer me when I talk to Him. I am a King's kid!
How
about you? Do you know Him?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that You know my thoughts. I know that You know what I
am going to say even before I do. It is amazing that even though You
are all-knowing, You still want me to talk with You. It is
amazing that You want to hear from me at all. Even on the best day,
You know that my motives are selfish and not totally pure. I am a
sinner. I am broken. And yet You still want to have an intimate
relationship with me. You still want me to be one of Your children.
Thank You for allowing me the privilege of knowing You and becoming
part of Your family. I am adopted. Thank You for adopting me.
