Holding a New Life By Orest
Psalm 119:25-32 (CEV)
25 I am at the point of death.
Let your teachings
breathe new life into me.
26 When I told you my troubles,
you answered my prayers.
Now teach me your laws.
27 Help me to understand
your teachings,
and I will think about
your marvelous deeds.
28 I am overcome with sorrow.
Encourage me,
as you have promised to do.
29 Keep me from being deceitful,
and be kind enough
to teach me your Law.
30 I am determined to be faithful
and to respect your laws.
31 I follow your rules, Lord.
Don’t let me be ashamed.
32 I am eager to learn all
that you want me to do;
help me to understand
more and more.
I am going to leave this Psalm as a wonderful prayer to soak deep into my life.
Matthew 2:1-2 (CEV)
The Wise Men
2 When Jesus was born in the village of Bethlehem in Judea, Herod was king. During this time some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and said, “Where is the child born to be king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”
And to seek God, that I may worship him
(And Maggi has something very important to say about asking the difficult questions)
