Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 119:81-88
The 11 th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, caph, is a curved letter, like a reverse “C” in English. It pictures one bowing down in repentance. The key words are found in verse 86 – “help Thou me.” We constantly need the help of the Lord. Hebrews 4:16 invites us to come to the “throne of grace” where we can find “mercy and grace to help in time of need.” The psalmist refers to the pressures and attacks that he is under, and is calling out to God for help. The Lord never gets tired of us saying “help.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 86 – “All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help Thou me.”
