Psalm 116

I love the Lord, for He heard my voice;

He heard my cry for mercy.

Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me;

I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called to the name of the Lord;

"O Lord, save me!"

The Lord is gracious and righteous;

our God is full of compassion.

The Lord protects the simple hearted;

when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul,

for the Lord has been good to you.

For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears,

my feet from stumbling

that I may walk before the Lord

in the land of the living.

I believed; therefore, I said,

"I am greatly afflicted."

And in my dismay I said,

"All men are liars."

How can I repay the Lord

for all the goodness to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all His people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord

is the death of His saints.

O Lord, truly I am your servant;

I am your servant, the son of your maidservant

you have freed me from my chains.

I will sacrifice a thank offering to you

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all His people,

in the courts of the house of the Lord.

God is so powerful. He listens. He heals. Don't lose hope, don't be quick to plan. Be still and quiet. He knows what is best for each of us, in HIS own perfect timing of it all.

We have so much to be thankful for.

Thank you Lord for loving us.
