ALL THROUGH THIS HOUR

READ:

Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation: on You I wait all the day.
-Psalm 25:5

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Proverb 6-7
2 Corinthians 2

The majestic chime of London's Great Clock of Westminster, commonly known as Big Ben, is familiar to many. In fact, some of us may have clocks in our homes that sound the same hourly chime. It is traditionally thought that the melody was taken from Handel's Messiah. And the lyrics inscribed in the Big Ben clock room have a time significance:
All this hour,
Lord be my guide;
And by Thy power,
No foot shall slide.
These lyrics are a good reminder of our constant need for God's guidance. King David recognised that he needed guidance all through the day as he faced the challenges of life. In Psalm 25, he says "Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation, on you I will wait all the day"(v.5). Wanting to be a teachable follower of God, David looked to his Redeemer for direction. His heartâ€˜s desire was to wait on God with dependent faith throughout the entire day.
May this be our desire as well. Our requests for God's help often begin the day, but then competing distractions can pull our attention away from Him. Lord, remind us to pray:
"All through this hour, Lord, be my guide."-Dennis Fisher.
There's never a day nor a season
That prayer may not bless every hour,
And never a prayer need be helpless
When linked with God's infinite power. - Morton

Let Christ be first in your thoughts in the morning, and last in your thoughts at night.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

Read:
that when he cried to the Lord, the Lord healed him. This is another testimony of someone who believed in the God that answers prayers. May prayer for someone using this devotional is that as you cry unto God today, He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah in Jesus'...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
