Prayer: Father, I love You and recognize You as the giver of life. From my first breath to my last, You have kept me alive. Thank You for being gracious to me. Your mercies are new every day. Amen.
Reading: Psalm 119: 65-96 Key: vs. 93
93 I will never forget Your precepts.
For with them You have kept me alive.
Attention: I have heard some amazing testimonies of healings over the past couple years. A few close friends were amazingly close to seeing Yeshua face to face. They were in the hospital, on ventilators, one was in a coma and experiencing seizures. I’m hopeful to record their testimonies soon and post them on my website so that you can rejoice with them.
Moments like these, when life as we know it hangs in the balance, create a greater appreciation for our personal health, our family and friends, and our relationship with Yeshua. Is there unfinished business which we now are compelled to make right? Death compels us to value life.
Are you taking for granted the next breath you take? Have you taken your family and friends relationships for granted? Have you taken the Word for granted? You probably have heard someone say, “If it wasn’t for the Lord…… I don’t know where I would have ended up.” The psalmist says, “If Your Torah had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.” That is another way of saying, “I surely would have died.” Life is a life and death proposition.
In the movie Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman has a line which says, “It comes down to a simple choice—get busy living, or get busy dying.” With Adonai, it comes down to a simple choice too, “Choose Life or choose death.”
I hope today that you can say like the psalmist and my friends, “You Adonai, have kept me alive.”
Action: I testify today, that Adonai has kept me alive.
Yield: I owe my life to Adonai.
Engage: I am engaged in life with Adonai when I give Him the glory!
Relationship: Adonai is the source of my life!
Prayer: Father, I owe it all to You. Everything I am, and everything I’m not, is Yours Lord! Amen.
Memory Verse: Luke 15:31-32
31 “Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that is mine is yours. 32 But it was right to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead but has come back to life! He was lost, but is found.’”
