Psalm 40 - My Help and My Deliverer

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, Today's scripture reading comes from Psalm 40 - all of it but especially verse 4, "Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust,...", and verse 11, "As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and faithfulness will ever preserve me!" and finally verse 16, "But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!"". The days are growing shorter and the nights longer and for those who are early risers even though it is not light outside your body seems to have a hard time adjusting, well for me it is. You would think that being born on the shortest day of the year that I would be a night person, well have another think - it is quite the opposite! The old saying, getting up at the crack of dawn does have its disadvantages when you are still getting up at 6:00 and it is still DARK outside. So what does that have to do with today's scriptures you might be asking yourself? Actually nothing so let us focus on the main thing, whether dark or light still our LORD "will not restrain His mercy from me". Wow, our Lord is our help and our deliverer! He is there while you are awake and He is there while you are asleep. He is there in the sunlight and He is there in the moonlight! He is there... always and in all ways. So whether you are a "get up at the crack of dawn person" or a person who "burns the midnight oil" He is ever present so for today let us pray - Abba Father, thank You for You are our constant and forever faithful LORD. O, Lord let us be thankful for our salvation and say continually, "Great is our LORD!" O, Lord I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that as she enters into her day may she TRUST the day to You and praise You for "your steadfast love and faithfulness will ever preserve me", yes Lord preserve her days and nights as she seeks You in all things and in all ways. In Jesus Name, Amen. Blessings and Prayers,
