I was so tired this morning that when I hit 'play' on my iPhone to begin the Daily Audio Bible Podcast, I honestly didn't absorb much at all. I basically 'tuned out', having only half-listened to the Scriptures being read through my headphones.
However, this small section in Psalm grabbed my attention. It was as if the Lord himself spoke directly into my spirit; reaffirming that I was his son, and that His promises applied to me. I wasn't disqualified, or rejected in any way. I could count on these words to be true!
If you've asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, these verses apply to you, too.
Psalm 69:32-36 (The Message)
32 The poor in spirit see and are glad—
Oh, you God-seekers, take heart!
33 For God listens to the poor,
He doesn't walk out on the wretched.
34 You heavens, praise him; praise him, earth;
Also ocean and all things that swim in it.
35 For God is out to help Zion,
Rebuilding the wrecked towns of Judah. Guess who will live there—
The proud owners of the land?
36 No, the children of his servants will get it,
The lovers of his name will live in it.
"Lord Jesus, we love you. We thank you for always looking out for your children; for protecting us and providing for our daily needs. Some of those reading tonight may not yet have a personal relationship with you, but you already know them by name. Please continue to soften their hearts and draw them closer to you. Amen."
Good Night
