Day 214 Bible Readings for August 3 – Psalm 116: 1-2 (ESV)

1 Chronicles 12: 23-40, 1 Chronicles 13 & 14, Romans 15: 14-33, Psalm 116: 1-11

Psalm 116: 1-2 (ESV)

“I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.”

I love verses 1 and 2 from Psalm 116. The psalmist talks about probably what every person of faith feels about their God. You love God because he heard your voice and your pleas for mercy. Because God answered you once, you will always call on him as you live. These verses make me wonder how long it took before a person was willing to always call on her God. For some it might have been the first time, for others it might have been a long and continual pattern of feeling like God had heard you before you decided you can upon God indefinitely. No matter how long or short it look, the person’s faith God was established permanently for the rest of their life.
