Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Notice the powerful beauty of this verse from the Psalm 138:
First is conviction: "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me." (See also Philippians 1:6.)
Second is declaration: "your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever." (See also 1 Corinthians 13:8).
Finally is supplication: O Lord"do not abandon the works of your hand.". (See also Psalms 139:13-16).
What a beautiful balance for our walk with the Lord - conviction, declaration, and supplication.
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever - do not abandon the works of your hands.
For clarity, please note that the translation above blends the NIV and ESV of Psalm 138:8.

My Prayer...

Heavenly Father, the Lord of all, I am confident that you will accomplish your will and purpose in me. Seeing how you loved and worked through the centuries through your people, I know your love will endure long past my time on earth. However, dear Lord, I do face some struggles and difficulties in my time, so I ask you to please intervene with your grace and power in my life. Please fulfill your purpose for me. And please, do not abandon me, the work of your hands. In Jesus' name, I confidently pray. Amen.
