First of God's Word For 2nd March 2022 is "LOVE"

My word for today was "LOVE" and the scripture I received was

PSALM 86 

A prayer of David.

1 Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help. 

2 Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God.

3 Be merciful to me, O Lord,

Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, 

4 Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you.

5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

6 Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD; hear my urgent cry.

7 I will call to you whenever I'm in trouble, and you will answer me.

8 No pagan god is like you, O Lord. None can do what you do!

9 All the nations you made will come and bow before you, Lord; they will praise your holy name.

10 For you are great and perform wonderful deeds. You alone are God. 

11"Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.

 12 With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever,

13 for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.*

14 O God, insolent people rise up against me; a violent gang is trying to kill me. You mean nothing to them.

15 But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry

16 Look down and have mercy on me. Give your strength to you servant; save me, the son of your servant.

17 Send me a sign of your favor. Then those who hate me will be put to shame, for you, O LORD, help and comfort me.

Insights from :

86:1-5 Even though we may be trying to serve and trust God, we still may be bound by addic tions and problems from which we need deliverance. Sometimes the answers don't come quickly, and though we pray constantly, nothing seems to happen. We may become impatient and begin to wonder if God will ever act. God will ultimately respond with forgiveness and compassion to all who call on him. Sometimes, though, we may have to wait awhile before we experience changes in our lives.

86:11-17 We only know God's will as we seek to know him through prayer and the study of his Word. The more we know about God, the more we know what he expects of us. As we get to know God better, we will discover that he gives us not only direction but also the strength andencouragement we need to walk the pathway he has chosen for us.
