Help me O God, I want to walk with you.~~ Aide-moi O Dieu, je veux marcher avec toi.

Friday 15th December
Psalm 86        Isaiah 33.1-22   1 Thessalonians 4.1- 12    Matthew 15.29-39
Psaumes 86   Esaie 33.1-22     1 Thessaloniciens 4.1-12   Matthieu 15.29-39



A huge proportion of the psalm is spent asking God for His help, and describing how wonderful such help would be. God’s intervention would lead to living a Godly life full of thanks, praise, and worship. It is interesting to note what the psalm asks God to do: hear the prayer, preserve the soul, give mercy, comfort and strength, teach His way, and ask for a token to combat those risen against His worshippers.
What a lot of jobs! And yet, He found an effective way to address them all, in sending us His Son. Belief in Jesus is salvation for the soul and assurance of mercy if we humbly repent of sins. Knowledge of his teachings imparts comfort in times of distress and tells us how to live our lives in a way pleasing to God. Being a follower of Christ is a powerful token protecting us from the void of a godless life, and visible to others in the way we think and act.



Perhaps this then would be an appropriate point to ponder in Advent. Sending God’s Son to earth answered the prayers and needs of His people and displayed His awesome love and mercy. It should therefore be a time to uphold our end of the agreement: let us rededicate ourselves to walking in His ways, and giving thanks and praise for all of His blessings.
