The Lord causes other nations to rise up >in judgment and enslave Israel. >Israel cries out to God for deliverance, and the Lord delivers them by >raising up a judge to lead them to victory. Then the land has rest until >that judge dies and the cycle begins again: sin, servitude, >supplication, salvation, and silence. Sin is always followed by bondage. >Repentance frees. > >PRAYER > Because God always honors our obedience to Him, we praise Him: >Bless the Lord, O my soul! >O Lord my God, You are very great: >You are clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with light as >with a garment, >Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain. . . . May the glory of the >Lord endure forever; >May the Lord rejoice in His works. >May sinners be consumed from the earth, >And the wicked be no more. . . . >Bless the Lord, O my soul! >Praise the Lord! (Psalm 104:1-2, 31, 35). > > Pause for personal praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to >the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin: There is not a >just man on earth who does good and does not sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20). >Thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: >"In returning and rest you shall be saved; >In quietness and confidence shall be your strength" (Isaiah 30:15). > > Pause to pray this affirmation to the Lord: >Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far >more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the >things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the >things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen >are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). > > As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for: > greater wisdom for living, > the needs of your family, > your activities for the day. > Offer this closing prayer to the Lord: >Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart >Be acceptable in Your sight, >O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14). > > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
