Read: Ps. 131; 138-141;143
Psalm 139 has to be one of my favorites. When I feel insignificant and small, I will turn to this Psalm and read it. It is like a healing balm. God really does know each and every one of us. He saw us before we were born and knit us together in our mother’s womb. How valuable and prized are God’s thoughts about us.
I can relate to Psalm 141 especially the line that says, “Please hurry!” David prays that the Lord would take hold of what he says and guard his lips. I need to pray that more! He also prays that God would keep him from taking part in acts of sin or sharing in the pleasantries of sin. That is a humble prayer from a king who had it in his power to do anything he wanted. He even told the Lord that he wouldn’t mind correction from his enemy. He would receive it as medicine. That is true humility.
When you feel you are losing hope, Psalm 143 is a great encouragement.
Lord, help us to be humble and ready for correction even if it comes from someone we don’t respect. Keep us from the attacks the enemy sets for us. Let the devil be caught in his own trap.
