Week 35 - Day 3


** Reminder: This is another 5-Day week as we finish up the book of Ezekiel.  If you have personal reflections from the readings or something God has been teaching you that you would like to share for our Day 6 - Reflect/Review day, please email me at ejmushlock@gmail.com . **


Ezekiel 40-42; Psalm 130

*Click here to read these passages:

“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; O Lord, hear my voice.”  ~ Psalm 130:1
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I put my hope.”  ~ Psalm 130:5

When we cry out from the depths we can know He will hear us, and He will rescue us.  His Word is true, and in Him there is always hope. 

“If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?  But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.” ~ Psalm 130:3-4

I think sometimes we hold tight to our record of sins carrying it around wherever we go, but praise the Lord, He does not do this.  He forgives; His mercies are new every day.

“My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.” ~ Psalm 130:6

A watchman standing guard through the night who is tired and weary is ready for a break, ready for the sunrise.  A watchman knows the dawn will appear.  The sun is going to rise without a doubt every day.  So it is with the Lord … every day He is here without fail. 

“Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption.”  ~ Psalm 130:7


Unfailing love … full redemption.
