Sure Testimonies

This morning as I was praying Psalms 119 came to mind, specifically the segment entitled Daleth. As I read this segment it reminded me how gracious our Father is toward us to teach us His ways and His commandments.

Psalms 119:DALETH.
25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord, put me not to shame.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Here the psalmist shows us that Yahuah (Lord) will deliver us from depression (heaviness) using His word. When we choose truth, Yahuah (Lord) strengthens our hearts. THe word testimonies here is an interesting point. These are things that have been either said or done by God. I try to think of the miracles that I have seen in my own life, or read about in scripture like the Exodus. To me, these testimonies stand as a witness to who Yahuah (Lord) is and that He will never fail us. I will meditate today on His precepts, His testimonies, and His word.

Prayer
father, we exalt You as the Most High King. We thank and praise the name Yahuah (Lord). send us this very day Your overwhelming provision. Let Your reign rain on us today. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts. Take depression from those that are depressed. Deliver us with a strong hand and an outstretched arm from those that would steal or are stealing from Your people. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
