Читать книгу Walk With Me, Jesus: A Widow's Journey - Ronda Chervin Ph.D. - Страница 17

I love the LORD, who listened to my voice in supplication, Who turned an ear to me on the day I called.

I was caught by the cords of death; the snares of Sheol had seized me; I felt agony and dread.

Then I called on the name of the LORD, "O LORD, save my life!"

Gracious is the LORD and just; yes, our God is merciful.

The LORD protects the simple; I was helpless, but God saved me.

Return, my soul, to your rest; the LORD has been good to you.

For my soul has been freed from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

FOR PONDERING

"I was caught by the cords of death ..."

David, the warrior king, knew what it was to face death. As widows, we face this enemy more intimately, profoundly. Take a moment to meditate on this psalm, and journal about it.

PRAYER OF THE DAY

Lord,

When the grip of my memories rise up and threaten to overwhelm me, You have always been there to hold me steady. Thank You for never letting me walk alone.
