Powerful Words
Though my life is constantly in danger,
I won’t forget your Instruction. ~ Psalm 119:109 (CEB)
Lord, there is no one else that we can go to! Your words give eternal life. ~ John 6:68 (CEV)
Lord, I echo the words of the disciples -- "There is no one else that we can go to! You've got the powerful message that gives us the ultimate life." Why then do I suffer from amnesia -- forgetting just when I want to be remembering? Please implant your message deeper into my heart and mind. I want to remember as though my life counts on it. It does. Amen.
