He Will Provide

Have you ever prayed, and turned right around and read something that you really needed to hear? After speaking with the Lord rather earnestly, I opened my Bible, and part of my reading tonight just happened to be Psalm 116. I wanted to share it with you.

I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the Lord: "Please, Lord, save me!"
How kind the Lord is! How good He is! So merciful, this God of ours!
The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death and He saved me.
Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.
He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
And so I walk in the Lord's presence as I live here on earth!
I believed in You, so I said, "I am deeply troubled, Lord."
In my anxiety I called out to you, "These people are all liars!"
What can I offer the Lord for all He has done for me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord's name for saving me.
I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all His people.
The Lord cares deeply when His loved ones die.
O Lord, I am Your servant; yes, I am Your servant, born into Your household; You have freed me from my chains.
I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people--
in the house of the Lord in the heart of Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!


It helped me so much just to be reminded that God cares, and that in the decisions we are trying to make, He will guide us if we will just let Him. "He hears my voice"....."I walk in the Lord's presence"....."Praise the Lord!"

My friends, I ask that you will pray that the Lord will give me clear guidance, and that I will find courage and encouragement. I thank you, and return the favor.
