Psalm 143: 5. I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.
David's enemies are after him. He considers all that God has done in the past, and he calls on God for hope of better days to come. He prays for a quick answer and guidance to find the path away from his troubles.
As I read about the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, this verse spoke to me. It's not always easy to read about the action in the OT. We had our share of worries yesterday, with keys locked in the car and the spare in Huntington. Then the news that PEIA rejected all the people who need the hepatitis C cure including Ron. But I know how mighty my God is. I believe that He can bring us through any kind of trouble.
Prayer: I acknowledge all Your hands have done, Lord. I know Your power is unlimited. I pray for relief from Ron's illness. I pray for those who hold the fates of so many who suffer in different ways. Help all Your people, myself included, to do the things that will aid the suffering.
Amen
2 years later, and Medicare paid for the cure. In 3 months, the virus was gone! God had a plan, and it was good.
