Psalm 25:1
"Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul"
Our holy trust,our conflicts, our great transgression our bitter repentance, are all here when we call upon our Almighty God. When the storm winds are out against us, we the Lord's vessels will make our way for our well remember harbor of refuge. What a mercy that the Lord will condescend to hear our cries in time of trouble, even after times we have almost forgotten Him in our hours of prosperity. Unto thee O Lord do I lift up my soul. For it would be a mockery unto our God to lift up just our hands and eyes and not bring our soul into our devotions.
True prayer may be described as the soul rising from earth to have fellowship with heaven; it's like taking a walk up Jacob's ladder, leaving our cares and fears at the foot, and meeting with a covenant God at the top. There are times that we lift every thing up to God except our soul's, they have lost there wings, and the soul is heavy and earth bound, it has become more like a burrowing mole than a soaring eagle. We must never give up on prayer!
Let us stand at the bottom of Jacob's ladder; Let's call it our prayer ladder, and with "Faith, Hope, and Surety" of God's assistance, exert all our powers to lift up our hearts unto Him. Every step up our prayer ladder is a higher step of "Faith." Our "Hope" is not caring how far we have to climb to get to the arm of God, which is the "Surety" of His Grace. What a lift in Spirit when we know that we have reached the Throne of Grace and know without a doubt that our God has heard our cries. Amen!!!
