Today is Tuesday, May 27th, 2014; Karen's Korner #2822

First six verses of Psalm 61, with the theme.  "Prayer for security and assurance. Wherever we are, we can trust God will be there to answer our cries for help." Author is David, as he tries to escape several foes:

"O God, listen to me! Hear my prayer!

For wherever I am, though far away at the ends of the earth,

I will cry to you for help.

When my heart is faint and overwhelmed,

lead me to the mighty, towering Rock of safety.

For you are my refuge, a high tower where my enemies can never reach me.

I shall live forever in your tabernacle; oh, to be safe beneath the shelter of your wings!

For you have heard my vows, O God, to praise you every day,

and you have given me the blessings you reserve for those who reverence your name.

You will give me added years of life, as rich and full as those of many generations,

all packed into one."

*

Bible Commentary:   "David continually praised God through both the good and difficult times of his life. He made commitment to praise God every day which showed his reverence for God. Do you find something to praise God for each day? As you do, you will find your heart elevated from daily distractions to lasting confidence."
