“ But I pray to you, O Lord, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God answer me with your sure salvation. Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep waters.”
“ He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.”
The histories of the trails of many godly men and women teaches us of how God’s favor pursued them.These were the ones who were not only devoted in the moments of worship but at all times. The virtues of humility and brokenness were seen in them and in their quest for the truth, they wavered not in faith. The joy of walking in God’s wisdom was what made their ways glorious. The mysteries concerning the faith of these saints was that as they knelt down for salvation’s sake, God satisfied their every longing. This is what faith does and our devotion must always in the truth.
The beloved of God has to know that as we are on a journey to the kingdom of heaven, the waves of opposition against us will also be many. It is true that we are not always in our best moments but even in our bitter moments, we must look above. Though the paths, we may have to cross be slippery and filled with traps, our faith must rest in God’s word alone. Thus as we meditate on the given psalms, we see the prayers of the writer was not only of brokenness but it was also filled with God’s favor. The beloved of God must know that as the greatest means of security is in God’s word, our lives and prayers must become more like the scriptures. The mystery of God’s love none can fathom. The salvation of God is what we await.
( Psalm 69:13,14 ) ( Psalm 18:16 )
N.B: This is written in honor of our members who are link to God and to us through the Holiness of Christ. Slaves, that is what we are of holiness and as we pursue righteousness, we desire to impact and transform lives through His Spirit. The lost will be found. As we continue in this we will remember all that we did for God, for each other and for the sinners. The moments of the present will become the memories for the future. God loves the Church of Christ.
