Day 225 - (Today’s Bible readings: Deuteronomy 1:1-25; Psalm 42; John 15:18-16:4)
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. (Psalm 42:1-2 ESV)
What a wonderful gift God gave David! The repentant and forgiven sinner was given a deep desire to be as close to His Savior as possible.
Do you have a deep desire to be as close as possible to God?
● Read and meditate on His Word (the Bible).
● Talk to him (pray) every day.
● Worship Him faithfully each week (in church).
● Remember what Jesus did for you on Mt. Calvary (paid for all of your sins).
I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cold and sunshine, oh, abide with me!
("Abide with Me! Fast Falls the Eventide," Lutheran Service Book #878-3)
Lord, thank You for my salvation. Like David, may I thirst for Your presence in my life. Yes, Lord, please abide with me today and always. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
