Psalm 116 - Friday

Psalm 116
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave [a] came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD : "O LORD, save me!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
7 Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed; therefore [b] I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
11 And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars."
12 How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 O LORD, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant [c] ; you have freed me from my chains.
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. [d]

Chin Ling : I speak to my soul what v7 says "Be at rest, oh my soul, the Lord has been good to you.." Its Friday, and its a good day to take account of the good things the Lord has done in the week! Thank you lord, for being so good to me and calling me your precious child.

Eunice: I called out to the Lord and he heard my voice! I prayed about something early this week, and the Lord answered.. Really thankful. but sometimes, human nature always think that it would be good if its always so good, etc.. Yeaps, but.. God, thank You for hearing my cry, and giving me more than enough for that answered prayer. Indeed, I am your servant. that I will always prasie you for everything, in everything, with my everything, because, there is just always so much to praise you for. So blessed that I cant contain it. So much that I got to give it away!

Aileen: "How can i repay the lord for His goodness to me?" yar it's so true. At this time and age, i begin to ponder about more of life's decisions and working through issues of my life. I know that when i have my struggles, i can look to the lord's goodness to see me through. And many a times, this has been so true. Even now as i work out issues and sort out differences, i have learnt to seek the lord and i begin to see how his perfect love can really cover my imperfection. Thank God

Juan: The Lord protects the simple hearted, mon's paper haven really grasp it.....omg.. so i went to do sth..ahah.. i feel so young and simple at heart now! i can do it!

Sara: Wah, this week has not been an easy week, and I was just turning to the Lord this morning for mercy (in my shower) coz I think I'm quite burnt out especially at work, and I come to this point where I cant even bear to stay any longer than 6 plus at work because I would have been so drained. BUT… God heard me! And he heard my cry for mercy! And when I read today's msg, I knew that it was His voice where he said in Mark 8, "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" Haa… I rather choose the Lord to the world anytime… so Lord, please help me not to look to the things of the world, but to keep my eyes on You!!! =)

If I have but Jesus, only Jesus
Nothing else in all the world beside
O then everything is mine in Jesus;
For my needs and more He will provide.
