Today's Verse: Psalm 34:4

Tuesday, October 4, 1949

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
— Psalm 34:4

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Have you sought the Lord today? Have you sought the Lord lately? Many of us committed to turn all of our lives over to him, recently. How have you done at keeping that commitment? God promises wisdom to those who ask and don't doubt. Have you asked for wisdom recently? Let's join our hearts together, and with the Spirit's help, let's seek our Father so that we can honor and glorify him, finding our blessing in his presence and his answers to our prayers. When we do, our fears begin to melt into the sea of his grace and our praise!

My Prayer...

Majesty on high, the Holy One of Israel, my Father and my God, I seek you with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. I want to know you more completely. I want to fully respond to your leading and your will in my life. Be near me today. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
