God's Word for Sunday, 8/6/17 - Someone Needs to Hear This

"Take a good look at my trouble, and help me— I haven’t forgotten your revelation. Take my side and get me out of this; give me back my life, just as you promised. “Salvation” is only gibberish to the wicked because they’ve never looked it up in your dictionary. Your mercies, God, run into the billions; following your guidelines, revive me. My antagonists are too many to count, but I don’t swerve from the directions you gave. I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing; they walked away from your promises so casually! Take note of how I love what you tell me; out of your life of love, prolong my life. Your words all add up to the sum total: Truth. Your righteous decisions are eternal."

Psalm 119:160 MSG

"I took one look at the quitters and was filled with loathing; they walked away from your promises so casually!" Wow. That sure hits home.

It certainly fits a lot of today's problems.

Thank you, Reverend.

TB & Linda - I concur. It fits modern society so well, it could have been written today.
