SERVANT

October 21, 2015 by Cosette

“Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright” (Psalm 19:13). “Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us” (Psalm 90:16–17). “Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word” (Psalm 119:17). “Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes” (Psalm 119:23). “Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes” (Psalm 119:135). “Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it” (Psalm 119:140). “Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord” (Psalm 135:1).

Golden thought: Deal bountifully with Your servant that I may live.

[Excerpt adapted from Wonderful Words by Stewart Custer (October 21 reading).]
