Wednesday, August 16, 2017

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
— Psalm 31:16 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Can your faith hold during trying times? I hope mine can! This is a Psalm written during trying times. However, no matter how difficult the situation, the Psalmist still knows who God is and what he can do when he decides to do it. Even in trial he doesn't lose sight of the blessing that comes from the Lord being present.

My Prayer...

Father, make your presence known in my life. I am confident you are there, I just need to experience your presence and receive your deliverance. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
