My Hi-lite: Psalms 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Have you been visited by the Lord in the night?
I sure have!
You have been also, although you may not have realized it was God testing you!
Have you realized God tests you during your sleep! Remember some of those seemingly strange situations you've found yourself in in your dreams. How have you reacted? Are you ashamed or pleased! Is God happy or unhappy with your reactions?
Better talk to Him about it!
A Prayer of David.
Psalms 17:1 Hear the right,
O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out
of feigned lips.
2 Let my sentence come
forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Thou
hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried
me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed
that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works
of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in
thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 I have called upon thee,
for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Shew thy marvellous
lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their
trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 ¶Keep me as the
apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the wicked that
oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 They are inclosed in
their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now compassed
us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Like as a lion that
is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint
him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 From men which are
thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this
life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full
of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 As for me, I will behold
thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy
likeness.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
