Amazing Grace

Psalms 13
Psalm 13
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
​HOW LONG will You forget me, O Lord? Forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I lay up cares within me and have sorrow in my heart day after day? How long shall my enemy exalt himself over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face in the pitchlike darkness], lest I sleep the sleep of death,
Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed over him, and those that trouble me rejoice when I am shaken.
But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident in Your mercy and loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.

His Amazing Grace

Son Time

Luke 13:22-25
["Jesus] journeyed on through towns and villages, teaching, and making His way toward Jerusalem.
And someone asked Him, Lord, will only a few be saved (rescued, delivered from the penalties of the last judgment, and made partakers of the salvation by Christ)? And He said to them,
Strive to enter by the narrow door [force yourselves through it], for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
When once the Master of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door [again and again], saying, Lord, open to us! He will answer you, I do not know where [what household—certainly not Mine] you come from."
Jesus, Son of God, says to the people around Him a story that is Picture Perfect in telling us all... Be ready when He comes, by opening up yourselves to His Lordship.
