From Darkness to Light
God's Promises
God Promises to Guide our Way
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Psalm 119:81-96 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition81 My soul languishes for your salvation;
I hope in your word.
82 My eyes fail with watching for your promise;
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
84 How long must your servant endure?
When will you judge those who persecute me?
85 The arrogant have dug pitfalls for me;
they flout your law.
86 All your commandments are enduring;
I am persecuted without cause; help me!
87 They have almost made an end of me on earth,
but I have not forsaken your precepts.
88 In your steadfast love spare my life,
so that I may keep the decrees of your mouth. 89 The Lord exists forever;
your word is firmly fixed in heaven.
90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
91 By your appointment they stand today,
for all things are your servants.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my misery.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have given me life.
94 I am yours; save me,
for I have sought your precepts.
95 The wicked lie in wait to destroy me,
but I consider your decrees.
96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,
but your commandment is exceedingly broad.
For Reflection
We have all been there at one time or another. When life as assaulted us and we become dried and stiff as a smokey wineskin, so determined to remain true to your precepts. Yet, I call for your help. PrayPray that when things look dark, you will put your trust in God and not yourself or others. Pray a call for help an assume that help will come. Pray and hope in God.
