~ Good Morning and Happy SUNDAY!

It’s Sunday; the Lord’s day.

• Obey the Word,
• Please the Lord,
• Make your Pastor happy …

‼️ ATTEND CHURCH TODAY ‼️

Our scripture and devotion comes to us, today, from…

• Psalm‬ ‭119:114‬-117 •

“You are my hiding place and my Shield; I hope in Your Word. (115)Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God. (116)Uphold me according to Your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! (117)Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for Your statutes continually!” (ESV‬)

✝️ V. 114: The phrases, “my hiding place,” and “my shield,” are common images of protection in the Psalms.

✝️ V. 115: The psalmist, here, addresses all of his opponents, telling them to leave him alone because he wants to follow God’s directions without any hindrance.

✝️ Vv. 116-117: The psalmist asks God to help him remain loyal to His Word and directions.

Though the psalmist wants life (v. 116), he also wants God to enable him to continue to remain faithful to Him throughout his life, staying true to God’s Word and keeping all of God’s commands (v. 117).

How long has it been since you prayed these two prayers:

🙏 “Lord keep me pure.”

🙏 “Lord, keep me faithful.”

Today would be a great day to reaffirm your faith in the Lord, and pray the above prayers.

May the Lord richly bless you all.
