Every Second

Posted on May 24, 2018 by America's Keswick in Victory Call

Currently our church is in the midst of a 28-day prayer watch.  Because of that, this morning I opened a book I read years ago called, Reordering your Day: Understanding and Embracing The Four Prayer Watches by Dr. Chuck Pierce.  One of the many verses Dr. Pierce presented really touched me, so I want to pass it along to you.

Ps. 31:15-16a Psalm 31:15-16a (NKJV)

15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me. 16 Make Your face shine upon Your servant;

Psalm 31:15-16a  (TPT)

15 My life, my every moment, my destiny—it’s all in your hands. So I know you can deliver me from those who persecute me relentlessly. 16 Let your shining face shine on me.

David wrote this psalm of prayer.  He presents his needs and then petitions the Lord to deliver him and silence his enemies.  He goes on in the psalm to praise the Lord for delivering His own and exhorts the godly to love the Lord and to be strong.

Over the last month it seems I have been battling one thing after another.  They have been even a little strange.  One morning my eye was red and swollen.  Within hours it was so swollen my eye was completely shut.  Turns out I had a virus in my eye.  That day I was encouraging people in my church to adopt-a-leader and prayer for them.  Then on the National Day of Prayer a fly bit me while I was in prayer at our local Board of Education building.  My arm swelled up and became infected.  YIKES!!  I think the enemy has been after me.

I have taken hold of David’s words.  I agree with David.  I want my every moment, my every second, my destiny to be in the Lords hand.  I believe if I will give him every second of my life, His favor will rest upon me just as it did David.

So as verse 24 of psalm 31 says:

“So cheer up! Take courage all you who love him. Wait for him to break through for you, all who trust in him!” (TPT)  Give Him your EVERY SECOND!!

Blessings,
