A blessed good morning to all and much of Gods guidance, protection, love and care be with you on this beautiful Saturday morning. Topic: Remembering Our Fathers Words Psalms 119:93 I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me life. Jim Davidson was climbing down Mount Rainier when he fell through a snow bridge and into a crevasse. As Jim stood bloodied and bruised in that dark ice cave, he reflected on his childhood and recalled how his father had repeatedly reminded him that he could accomplish great things if he press through adversity. Those words helped to sustain Jim as he spent the next 5 hours climbing out of that dark ice cave to safety with very little gear and under extremely difficult circumstances. The psalmist seemed to climb out of his own crevasse of affliction and pain by recalling his heavenly Fathers words. He admitted that if God and His Word had not sustained him with joy, he would have died in his misery (Ps. 119:92). He expressed full confidence in the Lords eternal Word and in the faithfulness of His character. As a result of Gods faithfulness, the psalmist made a commitment never to forget Gods words to him because they had a central part in rescuing his life and bringing him strength. In our darkest caves and moments of affliction, our souls can be revived by our Father in heaven when we recall and fill our minds with His encouraging words. What crevasses of discouragement are you currently in? How can you use this time as an occasion to revive your soul by filling your mind and heart with Gods Word? Have a safe, enjoyable Christ-filled day.
