Oct 6 – Grant us – Psalm 118:25
This verse has a twofold cry. First, that the Lord would save us. Oh how we need Him to do that. We
find ourselves so often in pits that the devil, others or ourselves have made. What always strikes me is
that many of the problems we face are of our own making. We create problems through our own pride
and mistaken abilities. We think we are so smart, wise and creative. In reality we need the Lord. So
that we why we need the Lord so save us.
Next is we need His success. How we measure success and how God measure success is quite
different. We look at the tangibles. Money, power, fame, popularity and material possessions. God
looks at love, joy, peace, grace and mercy. Jesus said, “you could gain the whole world and lose your
soul.” True success is when you have done the will of God and been loving and gracious. It is when you
fulfill the great commandment of love and the great commission of telling others in your world about
Jesus. So Lord save us and make us successful in you want us to do today.
