While on vacation I did some extensive reading from the Psalms. In Psalm 12, I was reminded by David that as God's people we can be certain of the Lord's protection and comfort.
Lord, Your words are water living
when my thirsting spirit pleads.
Lord, Your words are bread life giving
on Your words my spirit feeds
Lord, Your words will be my light
through death's cold and dreary night
Yes, they are my sword prevailing
and my cup of joy unfailing
As you read, mediate and pray over God's Word, you might also pray the following collect that the church has prayed for centuries:
Blessed Lord, since You have caused all Holy Scripture to be written for our learning, grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
God bless your time spent in His flawless, pure and perfect Word!
