PSALM 116:1-2
"I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray AS LONG AS I HAVE BREATH."
What a beautiful scripture that is filled with the truth for today. First of all, I love the Lord, because He hears my voice and He knows my name! Jesus Christ the Lord God will have mercy on me even though I am a sinner and have missed the target so many time. I have prayed for mercy and He has heard me and granted it to me. Can you imagine that God bends down to listen to us and our prayers? He reaches down to touch us if we will just reach up to touch Him. Knowing all this is more than the mind and heart can comprehend, but, AS LONG AS I HAVE BREATH I will pray to the Lord.
The Lord hears my voice now, just as He has heard it all along. He listened to my prayers and supplications because He loves me. God has inclined His ear to me and turned to hear my prayers for mercy. Because of this I will call upon Him for my entire life. I will keep praying to Jesus Christ until I draw my last breath. His name will be on my lips as my life ends.
Have you reached the point were you put the Lord first in your life? Do you call upon Him for anything and everything? Can you say with a certainty that Jesus Christ is my Shepard and therefore I have all that I need? What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing that you do each night? The correct answer is to pray to the Lord and seek Him and His will. That is why we love the Lord, because He listens to us and our prayers. He bends down from heaven to listen to us. I will pray to God AS LONG AS I HAVE BREATH!
