Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone’?
18 “Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”—Luke 20:17
You are good and do good! The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Father, You preserve the simple; I was brought low, and You saved me. Thank you for the trials You send that humble me and draw me away from the world and into a deeper relationship with You. Thank you for the trials You allow in my life that reveal to my heart what I really love. Thank You for the trials that show me, as You showed Paul, that Your grace IS sufficient for me...that out of weakness I am made strong. Truly, Father, I don’t know how to come in or go out...I need You desperately! I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your word, to me, Your servant. Fill me today with Your Spirit of Wisdom....give me understanding so I may keep Your law. I have put my trust in You...I will never be put to shame.
