Thy Will Be Done

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

 

Psalm 118:1-9 The Voice

1 Give thanks to the Eternal because He is always good.
    He never ceases to be loving and kind.

2 Let the people of Israel proclaim:
    “He never ceases to be loving and kind.”
3 Let the priests of Aaron’s line proclaim:
    “He never ceases to be loving and kind.”
4 Let the people who fear the Eternal proclaim:
    “He never ceases to be loving and kind.”

5 When trouble surrounded me, I cried out to the Eternal;
    He answered me and brought me to a wide, open space.
6 The Eternal is with me,
    so I will not be afraid of anything.
    If God is on my side, how can anyone hurt me?
7 The Eternal is on my side, a champion for my cause;
    so when I look at those who hate me, victory will be in sight.
8 It is better to put your faith in the Eternal for your security
    than to trust in people.
9 It is better to put your faith in Him for your security
    than to trust in princes.

For Reflection

Who among us has not sent up a fox hole prayer? We, like the Psalmist, have cried out to the Eternal. And we, like the Psalmist, were comforted in God's own time. Yet, sometimes the only way we know God has been with us is to look back upon those times that have worked out to our benefit despite our best efforts to the contrary.

Pray

Pray, and let the Holy Spirit guide your life. Pray, Father, I place my life in your hands. Thy will be done.
