I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, for You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities. Psalm 31:7
Lord I praise you and thank you for your grace and mercy. Your keeping power is reason to rejoice and be glad.
This scripture speaks to me about trouble, and what to do when there is trouble in my life. I will follow the word of God and rejoice in Your mercy, see sometimes the trouble I get into is, relationship trouble, fianancial trouble, trouble with my kids, or trouble with my family, sometimes it seems that there is trouble just being me...
You are so wonderful to me Lord that you know my soul, you know how I am and you know just how and what I'm going to do or not do...You oh wise God have specifically design my salvation with grace and mercy...because you know my very soul...Here I come to you asking for forgiveness...and You knowing my soul...forgive and provide me with the mercy I need to make it!
Now if that aint enough reason to rejoice!
This just blew my mind...you have considered my trouble...considered...like gave serious thought to, studied, mused over, examined, meditated, resolved' turned it over in your own mind in the past tense like it already happened...this makes me scream and shout and give honor to your awesome power that is not bound by time..past, present or future!...I will be glad and rejoice because you considered my trouble and saved me anyway...you didn't say well in 1975 you did this or that and in 1997 you did this or that....or in 2016 you gonna do this or that...You my Lord have considered my trouble!..I am on your mind, Thank you Jesus!
Now if that aint enough reason to rejoice!
You have known my soul in adversities...known...like possessed an intellectual hold of, comprehend, fathom, understand, discerned, realized, perceived, fully aware, remained watchful...past tense again! I can hardly type this...you are so intimately involved with my soul that you know the intricate details of my being...in times of distress, discouragement, misfortune and poverty....And I can rejoice and be glad that you are the master creator nothing gets by you!
Lord, I am in awe of how you put this in my heart and mind...to let me know that you love me so much that every detail is and was and forever will be taken care of by You.
In the name of Jesus, I ask for forgiveness for not simply being glad and rejoicing in Your mercy, I bind the adversary when he tries to discourage me and attempt to keep me from coming to you! I pray for others in the community that may feel that they have done too much this or too much that... Lord, lift up their heads as they ponder the idea that you have considered their trouble and have known their souls. You are rich in Grace and Mercy...
I am so glad that you led me to this scripture and while I again can only scratch the surface of your goodness, I am so thankful that you allowed me to explore your passion for us. Lord you are truly fascinating ...Amen
