Hey Everyone, it's early I know (7:46AM to be exact) anyways, I was just reading my bible and was reading 22 of Psalm. Verses 19-22 really stuck out to me:
19 But you, O LORD, be not far off;
O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20 Deliver my life from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
Simply due to the fact that there are so many things that are happening today. There are so many things for Christians that can tear us down and beat us up. The last words in the last four lines of that scripture are "sword, dogs, lions and oxen". Then it adds the words "life, power, mouth and horns", this is the killer. In those simple little lines it highlights just some of things that can cause us to fall, stumble and fail. Despite the "horns", despite the "mouth" despite the rest of things out there the author crys out to God saying "But you, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me." The author never ran and never gave up. Instead he cried out to God for help. "BE NOT FAR OFF" - Whenever we face something in our lives, when we face the 'mouths of the lions' or 'the horns of the oxen' call out to God, don't run and hide instead take comfort in our Lord and Saviour cause He is waiting there to lift us up away from lifes' problems, no matter what they may be.
"Father, I thank you for being my refuge on my rock. For being the one I depend on. Father I thank you for the blessings that You O Lord pour down on Your children. Thank You for being there in lifes trials and temptations and for never leaving your people. Father I thank You for being my comfort in my time of need, just help me lean fully on You Father and not my own strength at not just in the trails of life but always. Father just bless Your people, refresh us in You and keep us in You and You alone. - Aman."
Peace All
