What a wonderful blessing we have in our Lord.
We have a God who takes thought of us.
He thinks about you.
He thinks about me.
He is interested in everything about us,
from the safety of our children to the trip to the grocery store.
Inviting God into everything you do, through prayer, allows you
to open your eyes so you can see His miraculous works.

You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God

I love this verse. It makes the Psalm writer so human.
Just like us he’s impatient, asking God not to delay in being a help and deliverer.
The beauty of this verse is that God doesn’t mind
that we ask Him not to delay.
He understands our needs and wants.
I don’t know if the Psalmist was afraid he would not be able to let go of the problem
if the Lord didn’t take care of it quickly,
but I know I sometimes have that problem.
I think it’s awesome to pray that God would not delay.
He cares and wants to answer our prayers,
so why not ask for all of what we need, even if part of that
is to have some relief from our worry in a quick manner.

Great is the Lord

But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the Lord!”
I find that as I let go of control over things I have no control over,
I find God’s hand at work in my life.
I can see more clearly how He’s in control and taking care of my needs.
And remembering the way that He cared for my greatest need,
being saved from my sins on the cross
and rising again that I might spend eternity with Him,
certainly makes me say over and over again, “Great is the Lord”.
