God's Word for Thursday, 1/31/19

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Psalm 86:5 KJV



Bend an ear, God; answer me. I’m one miserable wretch! Keep me safe—haven’t I lived a good life? Help your servant—I’m depending on you! You’re my God; have mercy on me. I count on you from morning to night. Give your servant a happy life; I put myself in your hands! You’re well-known as good and forgiving, bighearted to all who ask for help. Pay attention, God, to my prayer; bend down and listen to my cry for help. Every time I’m in trouble I call on you, confident that you’ll answer.
Psalm 86:5 MSG

I am thankful for His mercy. I praise His Holy name.

The MSG... translation is one of those I don't like so much.

Linda, your comment is understood and appreciated. The Message is not a direct translation, and doesn't claim to be. Rather, it's a commentary & exposition of the Word. I include it for that purpose.

If you choose to read only the King James, that's fine by me. :)

Once again prayers were answered and I got home safely, without harm to anything except my nerves. God is great!! And He does answer prayers!

That's a great praise report, Suz - hallelujah!
