Psalm 56:12-13. “Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?”
THE VOWS OF GOD. It is not some casual stroll; this road I walk with God – There are dangers and distractions all around. God has given promises, and I do praise His word – For wherever He is with me, it is holy ground.
He has promised where He leads, I will walk in the light. He has promised that when I labor heavily, there will be rest. He has promised, when in the valley, not to fear the night – And when decisions are made, He’ll show what’s best.
The vows of God are on me as I walk through Beulah land – I am blest above all measure by my Lord. My response to His great provision is to honor His holy name – And with obedience and by His grace, declare His word.
Many are the promises He has made to me – Not many vows have I really made to Him. But as He opened doors and it was plain to see – He wanted me to go through them there and then.
I am grateful He enabled me to reach some precious souls. “I praise Thee, Lord, for showing them Thy grace.
I’m thankful too for the saints of God Thou hast made whole, They, too, are serving Thee in their respective place.”
As the days and years have passed, things now are different – It seems to me God has designed a new plan For me that I might serve Him and find Him all-sufficient, As I seek to support young laborers in different lands.
We have visited, spoken, and prayed with a couple in this country, They are embarking on a new venture for the Lord. May our visit have had some meaning, gave them a good entry Into this new work, as they bring to people the truth of the Word.
I pray that before us, as we move on to another field – We might be an encouragement to them, For the vows of God are on me; I know He’s my sword and shield, And I pray this new service brings glory unto Him.
“Thy vows are on me, O God, and I need to keep pressing ahead even though I seem almost sterile when producing anything for Thee in these last months and even longer. If something is wrong with me, Father, please let me know so I can deal with it immediately. Be with those who are effectively reaching souls for Christ. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
