Morning, April 28 | “Remember the word to Your servant, In which You have made me hope.” —Psalm 119:49 (NASB)Show more

This Morning's Scripture Reading: Psalm 119:49-56 (NASB)

“Remember the word to Your servant,
In which You have made me hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
That Your word has revived me.
The arrogant utterly deride me,
Yet I do not turn aside from Your law.
I have remembered Your ordinances from of old, O Lord,
And comfort myself.
Burning indignation has seized me because of the wicked,
Who forsake Your law.
Your statutes are my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.
O Lord, I remember Your name in the night,
And keep Your law.
This has become mine,
That I observe Your precepts.”

Whatever your special need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it.
Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise — “He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.” (Isaiah 40:29) When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promise Giver, and ask him to fulfil his own word. Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with him? This promise shines like a star upon you — “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” (Matthew 5:6) Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this — “Lord, you have said it, do as you have said.” (2 Samuel 7:25)

Are you distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words — “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins..” (Isaiah 43:25) You have no merit of your own to plead why he should pardon you, but plead his written engagements and he will perform them. Are you afraid lest you should not be able to hold on to the end; after having thought yourself a child of God, you should prove a castaway? If that is your state, take this word of grace to the throne and plead it: “For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken.” (Isaiah 54:10)

If you have lost the sweet sense of the Savior’s presence, and are seeking him with a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: “Return unto me, and I will return unto you;” (Zechariah 1:3) “For a brief moment I forsook you, But with great compassion I will gather you.” (Isaiah 54:7) Feast your faith upon God’s own word, and whatever your fears or wants, take them to the Bank of Faith with your Father’s note of hand, saying, “Remember the word to Your servant, In which You have made me hope.”
