Day 138 - (Today’s Bible readings: Proverbs 27, Psalm 119:81-88; 1 Peter 5:1-14)
My soul longs for your salvation;
I hope in your word. (Psalm 119:81 ESV)
David longed for deliverance from his enemies. When the going got rough, he turned to God. His hope and confidence were placed in the Word of the Lord.
Where do you turn when life gets rough for you? It is wise to follow David’s example. Perhaps you will not be delivered from trouble in this life. But with Jesus, you are guaranteed eternal salvation. Long for His salvation, put your hope in His Word, trust, repent and rejoice!
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine.
Now hear me while I pray;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
(“My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” Lutheran Service Book #702)
Almighty God, I long for Your salvation. My hope is in the promises of Your Word. Please use me to share this hope with others so that they, too, may be wholly Thine. In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
