Scripture

Psalm 70

Observation

What does David ask of God? What should those who seek God do?

Application

Do I go to God FIRST when I am in need? Do I rejoice in Him and praise Him?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:

Dear Father in Heaven, When I am in need and facing opposition and persecution, may i always seek Your help first, rather than trying to handle things myself. I join with David in praying that all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; let those who love Your salvation continually say, “God is great!” In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
