Psalm 124

Not only have I escaped by God’s help, but the snare is broken. It won’t work again. God dismantles the things which entrap me, He is my Help. I praise You my God, my Help. You are the Destroyer of Snares. I thank You!

Psalm 123

The Source of mercy is God Enthroned in the Heavens. May I look no where else, may I not try to bring mercy that doesn’t come from You, my God Enthroned. May I behold Mercy, my Lord Jesus.

Psalm 122

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” … Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! … For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
God, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Please help me to seek the good of Jerusalem, Israel, Your people, Your Church, Your Kingdom. But first, I ask for peace for Jerusalem. Please help others to seek peace for Jerusalem and Israel as a way of life and not just a political play. Please help the nations choose peace for Your people. Help me to honor You in my prayers and in my life; let my life help Israel – help Israel know You are the Christ, the Messiah and the Most High God.

Psalm 121

 From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

I thank you and praise You Lord, Creator and Maker of All, that You are my Help and that You come.  You come to me.  I need to know that this morning.  I praise You all the more for this perfectly timed reminder of Your faithful coming ... and Your divine wisdom in allowing me to need help that You might answer.  Only You.  Thank You for keeping my life and keeping me from all evil.

Psalm 120

In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.  You answer me.  I praise You in this moment that You, God and King of the very Universe would answer me when I call to You.  Amazing.  Why don't I call on You more?

Psalm 119:161-176, Sin, Taw

Sin ~ Life is unfair and difficult; but Your Word awes me.  Knowing, rejoicing, loving and obeying Your Word yields a life with treasure, truth, praise and righteousness, confidence, peace, and hope. I will rise and glide not sin, stumble nor stagger.  Increase my affinity for Your Word, my Lord, let me respond to the supernatural addiction of that which You are.

Taw ~ Let my soul live and praise You, and let Your rules help me.  I choose to let Your rules help me that my soul may live and I may praise You evermore. 

Psalm 119:129-160, Pe, Tsadhe, Qoph, Resh

Pe ~ The unfolding of Your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. Thank You Lord that Your words are eternal and ever-meaningful. They never run out of folds to unfold and so they are always relevant, always meaningful and always applicable. May I receive the understanding which Your divine communications supply. I seek Your unfolding wisdom today.
Tsadhe ~ Your righteousness is righteous forever … give me understanding that I may live. Lord, grant me vision to perceive, to apprehend, know these truths.

Qoph ~ According to Your steadfast love, hear my voice – not because I am persistent, or up early or late crying out to You, I am not worthy on my own, not faithful enough, not good enough … I simply am not enough of anything and will never merit Your attentions. But by Your faithful love, Your perfect character do You hear me. I thank You that You have given me worth, that You have chosen me, that You are God. I am undone at Your steadfast love … by You, not me … You are irresistible.

Resh ~ The sum of Your word is truth. Not any shade, hint, or questionable area. Always true, always right, for all people at all times. Only You. Help me to live in response to this today.
