Scripture Reading 1 Chron 16 Ps
106 Matt 19
S=Scripture O=Observation
A=Application P=Prayer SOAP for the soul.
S. Ps 106:43-45 Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their
counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless He regarded
their affliction, When He heard their cry; And for their sake He remembered His
covenant,
Vs 47-48 Save us, O LORD our
God, And gather us from among the Gentiles,To give thanks to Your holy name, To
triumph in Your praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to
everlasting! And let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the
LORD! NKJV
O. This psalm sums up a brief
history of the unstable, wayward nation of Israel... as God blessed them with
salvation from their enemies, drying up the Red Sea. Yet again and again
they sinned. They rebelled against their kind and loving God... and again
and again God reached out to rescue them.
A. Oh! What a picture of
a loving, caring, merciful God! I cannot save myself. My best deeds look
like filthy rags in His sight. He reads the book of my heart. He hears the cry
of my soul. He reaches out to me with mercy when I do not and cannot deserve
it. An ancient song I used to sing as a child: “I, though so unworthy,
still I’m a child of His care. For His Word teaches me that His love
reaches me everywhere.”
P. “Everywhere” includes
Rio Gallegos, here near the southern tip of the world. Let Your mercies and
love flood over my soul today! I thank you for a wonderful service here last
night. I have many miles to travel tomorrow to minister in San
Julian. I pray for Your protection and care... not based on my goodness
or my accomplishments, but firmly upon Your great goodness, Your mercies and
Your infinite grace. You are still my Savior! Amen.

Wide, Wide as the Ocean
Wide, wide as the ocean.
High as the heavens above.
Deep, deep as the deepest sea
Is my Savior’s love.
I, though so unworthy,
Still I’m a child of His care
For his Word teaches me
That His love reaches me everywhere.
