Verse of the Day 3/2

Psalm 73:28

English Standard Version

28 But for me it is good to be near God;

    I have made the Lord God my refuge,
    that I may tell of all your works.

Yesterday's verses from Romans 10 ended with "how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news".  In reading Psalm 73 the same thoughts came to mind.  Verse 24 (below) in Psalm 73 begins with "you guide me with your counsel".  To be guided we must draw near and we must follow directions.  In our case we need to be in God's Word, be guided by it and tell others of what He has done for us by it and through it.

Charles Spurgeon writes, "Be assured that thy God will be thy counsellor and friend; he shall guide thee; he will direct all thy ways. In his written Word thou hast this assurance in part fulfilled, for holy Scripture is his counsel to thee. Happy are we to have God's Word always to guide us! What were the mariner without his compass? And what were the Christian without the Bible? This is the unerring chart, the map in which every shoal is described, and all the channels from the quicksands of destruction to the haven of salvation mapped and marked by one who knows all the way. Blessed be thou, O God, that we may trust thee to guide us now, and guide us even to the end! "

Read through the passage below. May God's Word guide you today.  May He be your portion and the strength of your heart today and forever. Draw near to Him.  Make Him your refuge and tell others of all of His works in your life.

1

Stop; and let me tell you

 

What the Lord has done for me.

 

Stop; and let me tell you

 

What the Lord has done for me.

 

He forgave my sin

 

And He saved my soul,

 

He cleansed my heart

 

And He made me whole.

 

Stop; and let me tell you

 

What the Lord has done for me.

2

Go and tell the story

 

Of the Christ of Calvary,

 

Go and tell the story

 

Of the Christ of Calvary:

 

He'll forgive their sins,

 

He will save their souls,

 

He'll cleanse their hearts,

 

He will make them whole.

 

Go and tell the story

 

Of the Christ of Calvary.

3

Watch and be ye ready,

 

For the Lord may come today.

 

Watch and be ye ready,

 

For the Lord may come today.

 

He will come again

 

In the clouds for me

 

And take me home

 

For eternity.

 

Watch and be ye ready,

 

For the Lord may come today.

Blessings,

Mike

Psalm 73:24-28

English Standard Version

24 You guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength

 of my heart and my portion forever.

27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
    you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
    I have made the Lord God my refuge,
    that I may tell of all your works.
