Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. (Psalm 130:1-8 NIV)
A prayer for mercy and grounds for assurance. If God were not forgiving, people would flee from him in terror .
I wait in hopeful expectation for the Lord to meet me here this morning. It's interesting that the psalmist says this twice. I wonder why? I repeat when I think it's important. Waiting onGod in His word - is a powerful daily process.
I like to change the name of "Isreal" to my name. "O Gina put your hope in the lord. For with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Gina from all her sins."
Thank you Lord!
