>Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight.
>--Psalm 119:143
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>This verse is hard for me, because I know I am so blessed. Trouble 
>and distress do not seem to be a part of my vocabulary right now. 
>But I know in many places in the world, this statement is true of 
>Christians who are under attack and live under the threat of 
>persecution and death. But their love for God and their commitment 
>to obedience is greater than Satan's threats because God's will is 
>their delight.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Majestic and holy God, I ask you to bless and liberate your church 
>that is under persecution. But Father, I ask that if deliverance is 
>not what is coming, I pray for my brothers and sisters and myself, 
>that we may be found faithful in death before surrendering to 
>compromise. Please strengthen our faith: we believe but help our 
>unbelief. Empower us through your Spirit to be obedient:forgive us 
>when we fall. Most of all, deliver us without fault into your 
>glorious presence. In Jesus we find our salvation and assurance. Amen.

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
         ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
