55I called on Your name, O LORD, From the lowest pit, 56You have heard my voice; Do not hide Your ear From my sighing, from my cry for help. 57You drew near on the day I called on You, And said, "Do not fear!" 58O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; You have redeemed my life. (Lamentations 3:55-58, NKJV)
What great confindence we can have in our Lord to answer when we call on Him. From a subtle sigh to a screaming cry. He hears it all. He knows our hearts and what we need, to which He replies "Do not fear!" We can have confidence in that. We can also have confidence in our redemption. He's pleaded our case and redeemed our lives. Why? We called on His name. He answered.

Bible Study 4/15/13
It's been a while since I've posted. I've been extremely busy. The new website is up. Go check out http://www.the119project.com. It's an online magazine of sorts. It will be discussing the variety of topics contained in Psalm 119. The first issue, The Introduction, is ready to be read. The second issue on Obedience to God's Word is coming soon. Be sure to check it out.
In ay event, my daily devotions have brought me to the book of Lamentations. I came across the following verse this morning:
20See, O LORD, that I am in distress; My soul is troubled; My heart is overturned within me, For I have been very rebellious...(Lamentations 1:20, NKJV)
When bringing our sin to the Lord, this is how our heart should feel and our spirit should feel when confession is taking place. Our insides should be so troubled and feel so out of place that we recognize our rebellious nature and confess it to God. This type of attitude most certainly lays the foundation for repentance, which if you don't know means laying your sin down and not returning to it. Wow. Such an applicable verse for tax day. (Just kidding!) Such an applicable verse for our prayer lives and our walk with Christ!
