Read Psalm 130

Read Psalm 130

130 From the depths of my despair I call to you, Lord.

²Hear my cry, O Lord;

listen to my call for help!

³If you kept a record of our sins,

who could escape being condemned?

⁴But you forgive us,

so that we should stand in awe of you.

⁵I wait eagerly for the Lord’s help,

and in his word I trust.

⁶I wait for the Lord

more eagerly than watchmen wait for the dawn—

than watchmen wait for the dawn.

⁷Israel, trust in the Lord,

because his love is constant

and he is always willing to save.

⁸He will save his people Israel

from all their sins.

Think

This Psalm acknowledges the fact that we sometimes feel like we are drowning and without hope.  The Psalmist says he puts his hope in God's word.  This is not just the Bible - it is God's message.  God's message of love, and promise of faithfulness.

Pray

Lord - help me to put my trust in who you are - in your message to me.  I am loved, you care, you will never abandon me.
