Waiting for Yahweh.

Psalm 40:1-17 LSB


I hoped earnestly for Yahweh; And He inclined to me and heard my cry for help. [2] He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a high rock, He established my steps. [3] He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in Yahweh. [4] How blessed is the man who has made Yahweh his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who stray into falsehood. [5] Many, O Yahweh my God, are the wondrous deeds You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. I would declare and speak of them, But they are too numerous to recount. [6] Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. [7] Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. [8] “I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my inner being.” [9] I proclaim good news of righteousness in the great assembly; Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O Yahweh, You know. [10] I do not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I speak of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I do not hide Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly. [11] You, O Yahweh, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually guard me. [12] For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me. [13] Be pleased, O Yahweh, to deliver me; Make haste, O Yahweh, to help me. [14] Let those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to sweep it away; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in evil against me. [15] Let those be appalled because of their shame Who say to me, “Aha, aha!” [16] Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Yahweh be magnified!” [17] As for me, I am afflicted and needy, May the Lord think of me. You are my help and the One who rescues me; Do not delay, O my God.

Romans 5:1-11 NLT

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. [2] Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory. [3] We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. [4] And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. [5] And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. [6] When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. [7] Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. [8] But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. [9] And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. [10] For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. [11] So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Matthew 6:33-34 GW


But first, be concerned about his kingdom and what has his approval. Then all these things will be provided for you. [34] “So don’t ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

We are God’s Children

Romans 8:14-17

Certainly, all who are guided by God’s Spirit are God’s children. [15] You haven’t received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the spirit of God’s adopted children by which we call out, “Abba! Father!” [16] The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. [17] If we are his children, we are also God’s heirs. If we share in Christ’s suffering in order to share his glory, we are heirs together with him.
