A Few Notes from my reading today

This is the second post today, be sure to scroll down and read the first one.

Psalm 10:17 Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear.

What I would like to call to attention here is the bold words "Thou wilt prepare their heart". This stood out to me because of a recent conversation with a friend about our heart conditions, and that we can be honest with God and tell Him when we don't feel right, or like doing what we should. When we are being honest with God, it can take some humility. Not an easy thing to admit that we don't feel like doing something we should. But the good, and wonderful thing about it is that He is here to help us. He of all people (not that God is a people) knows we aren't perfect.

Psalm 30:2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and Thou hast healed me.

Do I slip? And not have the desire to seek His face (Psalm 27:8) sometimes? You bet. A lot of times even. But as Psalm 30:2 says, we can cry to Him, and He heals. We can even rest in Him that He will heal, fix, mend anything that needs to be fixed.

Psalm 94:18 also fits into this whole thought pattern.

And Psalm 81:10 ...open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

This verse is so much more than just physical needs, it is spiritual needs as well. If we know we aren't right spiritually, or lack understanding, let us ask, resting and expecting even, that He will fill us with everything that we need.

On a different topic, we all know that God's mercies are new every morning, right? Lamentations 3:22 & 23 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. We also know that His mercy endureth forever (Psalm 136). So, if He gives new mercies every morning, and they endure forever, wouldn't it make sense that they just keep adding up??? Just something to think about.
