Verse 47 “Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your Holy Name and glory in Your praise.” Lord, gather us to You and save us from being overcome by the things of this world. Praise be to Him!
I don’t comment here much, but I would love to thank SRT for this app. I have been raised in the Christian church but was always just in attendance, going through the motions. This Bible journey has taken me so much deeper into these things and for that I am grateful. I am very OCD and get very caught up and confused in the readings, details, timelines, etc and find myself researching for a long time after each reading, and each topic leads me down a rabbit hole reading more and more, exploring meaning, reading about prophecies and how they are being fulfilled daily. I am weak in my ability to believe in things, as I am a very skeptical person, and have a hard time thinking about the unknown, but I am doing my best to open my heart and search to be called deeper by my Lord and to have the faith and strength in spirit that you ladies do. I thank God today for this app and for the ability to learn more about my faith, and deepen my connection, to care less about things, the current world, and materialistic callings of our time, and search for the deeper meaning and the faith in what is after this world.
Alyssa- I’ve always heard the Christian life is like a marathon, not a 100 yd dash. Keep on keeping on. So glad you are searching the scriptures like the Berean believers in Acts. I believe God reveals more of Himself like the layers of an onion- one layer at a time. With the prophesies in Isaiah there are many fulfillments that it can be confusing but I am so encouraged to read of your hungry heart for truth. God Bless you.
V13. How easy I forget the works of the Lord And his steadfast love toward me yet I am tossed and turned by my own emotions, circumstances around me, desires of the flesh in this broken world. Lord would you do a work in my heart? Help me be ever more devoted to you in my heart and actions. Amen.
Shirl, I was going to post almost the same thing this morning. How easy is it to say God has abandoned me when I am struggling or going through a rough time, how easy is it for me to feel I have to fight through on my own…BUT look at the faithfulness of God! Look at all the wonderful things He has done (and continues to do). I know it’s doing my heart a load of good to meditate on that this morning instead of my own shortcomings. Praying that God would take both of our hearts and make them more devoted to Him and focused solely on Him.
Shirl and Becky I am right here with you. This verse leapt off the page to me as a gentle admonishment. Your words affirm my need to pause and remember the Lord’s faithfulness in my life and “…wait for his plan to unfold.” Thank you ladies for your words of wisdom and honesty. Praying with you both.
I always enjoy Psalm Sunday and today was no exception. Today I’m reminded again that no matter the faults we make, as long as we remain focused on His direction and all He has already done for us, we can veer away but always to turn our Faith back to where it matters. Psalm 106:43 Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their purposes
and were brought low through their iniquity.
God. Is. Faithful.
They forgot God, but God never forgot them.

This reading had perfect timing

Wow. This is exactly what I needed today.
