Leviticus 4:1-26; Psalm 103:1-22; Acts 26:19-32
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psalm 143:8
The psalmist is in deep distress, and he honestly admits that he is feeling overwhelmed (v. 4). It is noteworthy what he does with those feelings. He cries out to his God. Why? Because, he trusts Him. This indicates an intimate relationship that is willing to trust Him with the deepest needs of his heart. Beloved child of God, what deep distress are you facing today? David’s God, your heavenly Father, hears you even before you cry (Isa. 65:24). Trust Him. The answer is on the way. — E.V.
O Lord in the morning,
Will I direct my prayer,
Unto Thee and will look up. —Psalm 5:3
