The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 25th August 2024 Is “Commitment To Prayer And God’s Word”
Read: Psalm 119: 145-160(NKJV)
145 I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes.
146 I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147 I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.
148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150 They draw near who follow after wickedness; They are far from Your law.
151 You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth.
152 Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever.
153 Consider my affliction and deliver me, For I do not forget Your law.
154 Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.
156 Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn from Your testimonies.
158 I see the treacherous, and am disgusted, Because they do not keep Your word.
159 Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your lovingkindness.
160 The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 25TH AUGUST 2024.
To pray earnestly is to draw from the well of God’s word which by the reason of deliberate meditation, has found a place in our hearts. It is the pouring out of His word back to Him, as a heart’s cry. What an earnest cry and a rare one, especially in our days! The Psalmist’s prayer focus was to be faithful to God and His word, arising from sleep long before dawn to pray and meditate on His word in the night watches (vv. 145-149). He, of course, prayed the prayer of deliverance from his enemies(vv.150-158), yet it was a prayer born out of meditation on God’s word.
Have you ever prayed this sort of prayer: To be faithful to God and His word, rising from sleep long before dawn to meditate on His word and to pray earnestly? The weight of your prayer before God is a measure of His word in your heart. Most unanswered prayers are due to their lack of root in God’s word. Arise now and pray earnestly to be committed to prayer and God’s word. You can begin today to spend time in His presence.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to be completely engrossed in Your love. Quicken me and I will call upon Your name.
