Read Psalm 138

Read Psalm 138

      I thank you, Lord, with all my heart;

I sing praise to you before the gods.

²     I face your holy Temple,

bow down, and praise your name

because of your constant love and faithfulness,

because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.^o

³     You answered me when I called to you;

with your strength you strengthened me.

⁴     All the kings in the world will praise you, Lord,

because they have heard your promises.

⁵     They will sing about what you have done

and about your great glory.

⁶     Even though you are so high above,

you care for the lowly,

and the proud cannot hide from you.

⁷     When I am surrounded by troubles,

you keep me safe.

You oppose my angry enemies

and save me by your power.

⁸     You will do everything you have promised;

Complete the work that you have begun.

Think

"Complete the work that you have begun." - Psalm 138:8

This line recalls so many promises of God's being able to finish what God has started; most often it is about restoration, healing and wholeness.

On all those who frustrate you - when it comes to your own weaknesses and struggles remember the bumper sticker:  "Be patient!  God has not finished with me yet."

Pray

Vs 3:  "You answered me when I called to you; with your strength you strengthened me."
