Today's Scripture
Sunday, 20th May 2012
- Listen while I build my case, God, the most honest prayer you'll ever hear. Show the world I'm innocent--in your heart you know I am. Go ahead, examine me from inside out, surprise me in the middle of the night--You'll find I'm just what I say I am. My words don't run loose. - I'm not trying to get my way in the world's way. I'm trying to get your way, your Word's way. I'm staying on your trail; I'm putting one foot In front of the other. I'm not giving up. - I call to you, God, because I'm sure of an answer. So--answer! bend your ear! listen sharp! Paint grace-graffiti on the fences; take in your frightened children who Are running from the neighborhood bullies straight to you. - Keep your eye on me; hide me under your cool wing feathers From the wicked who are out to get me, from mortal enemies closing in. Psalm 17:1-8 MSG
