Scripture
Psalms 40
English Standard Version
My Help and My Deliverer
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.
6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear.[a]Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance[b] in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
11 As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!
Luke 8
A Lamp Under a Jar
16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”
Jesus' Mother and Brothers
19 Then his mother and his brothers[a] came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. 20 And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.” 21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
ObservationGOD has indeed delivered me from my heartache and issues of the intense desire to marry especially when HE showed me last year the man whom HE chose for me because HE is HIS servant, but he was not yet GOD's Son, and it has been a year of waiting and praying, and it has broken my heart to pieces as I continue to dwell in HIS promise, when I could not see it in reality, what GOD has told me personally I was miserable and GOD saved me from my misery when I decided to just let it go, surrender the Promise back to GOD. I don't want to pray for it anymore or desire it anymore because it is hurting me.
ApplicationBut I still desire to do HIS will whatever it is, I desire to do HIS will and in fact David in Psalm 40 writes HIS desire to do HIS Will and I am considered a child of GOD when I do HIS will in Luke 8:21. Infact when GOD told me about Stephen I was overwhelmed with joy excited and I loved him almost right away, but now my impatience and doubts because of how GOD tested me in the past has caused me to be so broken because I feared that it would not happen again. I don't want to desire anything apart from GOD's will. If HE wills it, HE will make it happen, but I don't want to even feel anything in my heart from something that is not meant to be mine. So I have decided to let the promise go, and I will seek to be comforted and loved by my GOD alone. May HE look to me with loving mercy and kindness, may HIS grace ever abound in me as I seek HIM today, may I find HIM loving me.
PrayersDear AVI,O My GOD My KING, My Greatest Love, My Everlasting! HOLY is YOUR Name O GOD ALmighty! No ONE is like YOU O GOD of Glory! O GOD thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to love the family of Ching and carry burdens with them. Thank YOU for YOUR heart for each family, thank YOU for loving Aunty Jelly and inspite of all that pain she is going through, losing a husband and a son in this lifetime, YOU have blessed her with a new love and a new life in America. I pray O GOD, that I will never have to go through the same pain, but I have gone through them when I have lost potential husbands who never got to enter YOUR promise land. I pray O GOD that YOU keep me in the center of YOUR will and that YOU will always guard my heart and mind, that YOU will take full control of me because I fall apart when I am on my own. I cannot be without YOU O GOD. I pray that YOU deal with every person hurting me talking against me and thinking bad about me, I pray that YOU humble each person that is against me because YOU are my defender O GOD My KING! I pray O GOD heal us all, continue to heal me and heal my parents too. I pray that Dad and Mom will seek YOU and follow YOU and carefully revere YOU, O GOD, I pray that YOU save and deliver and heal Stephen, Benita, Janine Rose, Carlo, Kyle, Gabella, from every sickness, in heart and in mind, from their self righteousness, from their pain, from their bondages, and sinfulness, deliver them all and heal even Sandro Muhlach, from his trauma. O GOD have YOUR way in all of us and take care of us O GOD. I pray that YOUR love will fill us everyday. I pray that YOU will bless this day O GOD and have YOUR way in all that I do. I pray O GOD take care of everyone of us O GOD. I pray that YOU give me a pure heart and mind O GOD, I pray that YOU will be pleased in all that I do and say, for YOU deserve all the glory and the praise and the adoration and all my loving devotion belongs to YOU.
In the Name of YESHUA Amen!
