During Wednesday’s meditation of singing, praying, and reading of God’s Word at 12:30 and or at 6pm; we direct your attention to Psalm 118 which directs Praise to God for His Everlasting Mercy.

Noting verses 5 and 6 –

• 5I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. 
• 6The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.  What can man do to me?

Usually, prayers that come from distress and difficulties are from the heart and they go directly to the heart of God.  Many of us are going through such difficulty, let us not think of it as an end, prayers serve as an avenue to break yokes and justify us.

Also note verses 8 and 9 –

• 8It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in man.
• 9It is better to trust in the Lord Than to put confidence in princes.

From experience, you will find joy in trusting the Lord.  It is wise to put our confidence in the Lord, it is advisable to put our trust in God as it is the duty of man to trust God.  If we rely on mere men, the outcome can never be trusted.  But if we trust in the Lord, He will bless us exceedingly abundantly more than we could have ever hoped for.

We pray God Almighty to add blessings to the singing, praying and to the reading and doing of His Holy Word through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.  Amen.
