May 25, 2017 - 5 minutes readPass me not, O gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Hear my humble cry,
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Let me at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.[1]
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.[1]
“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.”[2]
Beloved in Jesus!
How essential that I rely on the guidance of God daily to fulfill my intended function. I am certain I have ignored the leading of God many times and will likely do so many more times. However, as I grow in grace and long to know better the gospel, that longing to know God with an intentional pursuit asking, seeking, knocking helps to overcome my tendency to ignore. In Christ I am thankful to be in a right relationship with God, thankful for the freedom, grace really, to pursue God through the holy Bible, prayer, and fellowship with those making up the body of Christ.
Brother/Sister, my sincere prayer and desire is that you are in a right relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the cross, redemption through the blood of the Lamb, forgiveness, and a new life empowered by God. Truly, may you be blessed as you delight in the law of the Lord, and on his law meditate day and night. You too will be “…like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither….” “For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”[3]
There is no greater spiritual nourishment than meditating on the Word of God. Therein we find comfort, grace, and mercy for all who will humbly cry out! Moreover, the wisdom portrayed in the Scriptures instruct us to live life intelligently, with moral conviction, sacrificial love, and supernatural reliance on God’s leading.
This life is necessarily difficult at times to keep me humble and dependent on our gracious God. The psalms illustrate our own desperation for God’s mercy, strength, comfort. Therefore, we pray intentionally like David according to our needs and seemingly overwhelming circumstances. “Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.”[4] Moreover, “Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.”[5]
Know through the eyes of faith, God is near, and we sing “I need Thee every hour…” We praise God with our words because he is worthy! “I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”[6]
Yes! Let’s find ourselves praising the Lord many times over this week and always! Yes! I will!
Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in Heav’n but Thee.
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee,
Whom in Heav’n but Thee.
