I
Am Counting On The Lord;
Yes,
I Am Counting On Him.
I
Have Put My Hope In His Word.
Scripture
Psalm
130
1 From
the depths of despair, O Lord,
I call for your help.
I call for your help.
6 I long for the Lord
more than sentries long for the dawn,
yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
Observation
Who
are you counting on?
If
we are counting on someone, it doesn't matter if it is our spouse, a
significant other, or for that matter anybody else, to meet our
deepest needs, I can tell you right now that you and I will be
frustrated and deeply disappointed.
I
love Kathy more than anything in the world. She is the best! But I
can't, I am not capable, I can't even come close, to meeting all of
her needs. There are so many needs in her life that only God can
meet.
That
is why right now, while I am spending time in God's Word and talking
with Him, and writing this blog, Kathy is doing the same thing.
Often Kathy will
walk in and share with me things that the Lord has shown her during
her quiet time and I am amazed at what God is teaching her.
I
am very proud of Kathy and her commitment to spend time every day
with the Lord, and when I think about it ... it makes me smile!
I
am so impressed at what God is doing in the life of my wife!
Who
are you counting on?
Application
I
am counting on the Lord. I am putting my hope in His Word.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I will pray these verses from Psalm 130 back to You this
morning,
“From
the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help. Hear
my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. Lord, if you kept a
record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? But you offer
forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. I am counting on
the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his
word. I
long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more
than sentries long for the dawn.”
