Episode 139: Psalm 118

Today's meditation is on Psalm 118

I give thanks to you, Lord, for you are so good to me. Your constant, tender love will last forever.

In my distress I prayed to you, and you answered me and rescued me like a good father. You broke open the way into a beautiful and broad place. You are for me, and I will never fear what man can do to me. You stand beside me. You are always ready, able and willing to help me. You are my hero, my savior.

I put my trust in you alone, Lord. People may fail me. But you never will. It's better to take refuge in you than in the mightiest, most influential people on earth.

When the enemy is on the attack, I will meet him wearing your armor. By your supernatural power, he is already defeated. Your banner of love flies over me. You protect me with your wrap around shield of favor. You are my strength and my song. Praise is how I fight my battles, because you have already given me the victory. 

I sing songs of joy, for you have done glorious things. I shall not die but live to tell of all your deeds. You correct me when I go astray, but you will never abandon me.

I will enter into your presence, Lord, and offer all my loving praise to you. Thank you for answering my prayer and bringing me salvation.

Jesus, the stone rejected by the builders, has now become the cornerstone. He is the foundation upon which my life and my salvation rest. This is your doing, and it is marvelous to see. This is the day that you have made, O Lord. I will rejoice and be glad in it. You have helped me. You have saved me. You have given me success through your Son.

God, you are my light. I offer you my life in joyous sacrifice. I bring you praise. You are the God of my life and exalt you and lift you high. I give thanks to you, Lord, for you are good. Your loving-kindness is everlasting. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
