March 17 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Samuel 13-16
Key Verse– 1Samuel 13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY COMMANDING CAPTAIN
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
covering me with Your safety
Thank You for saving me from sin’s penalty in hell’s cruelty---
I pitch my life in Your will where I’m nurtured by Your grace-bounty
Keep me assured from attacking doubt and uncertainty.
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
considering me in my supplication
Thank You for seeking me to grant my sanctification---
I stay in Your camp where I rejoice in Your redemption’s satisfaction
Keep me protected against pride’s destruction.
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
calling me to Your deliverance
Thank You for snatching me from enemy’s hole-entrance---
I climb up toward ministry-opportunities with perseverance
Keep me strengthened to practice longsuffering endurance.
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
correcting me by Your enlightenment
Thank You for stretching me from weariness-entanglement---
I repent from transgressing, not complying to Your holy requirement
Keep me rescued from being vexed by worldly predicament.
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
cleansing me of my filthiness
Thank You for sacrificing Yourself for my heavenly blissfulness---
I overcome lusts of the flesh by Your empowering mightiness
Keep me repentant to be freed from haunting guiltiness.
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
cheering me up in my worship
Thank You for setting me to submit before Your kingship---
I enjoy serving You with faithful stewardship
Keep me delighted in Your presence around Your offered fellowship.
Lord God, You are my commanding Captain,
charging me in the majesty of Your name
Thank You for showing me Your peace I can victoriously claim---
I yield to Your Spirit’s guidance along Your presence-flame
Keep me awakened from deceits of evil game.
