My God, Thank You For Avenging Me
October 6 Scripture Meditations Based on Luke 18-19
Key Verse – Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR AVENGING ME
Thank You for avenging me, Your own elect by Your grace
In my cry for Your help to protect me with Your truth-brace
Against falsehood that knocks me down from spiritual race…
You alone can sustain me around Your compassionate embrace.
Thank You for avenging me, Your saved child
In my dependence on Your holiness from being abominably wild
Against tendency to become worldly beguiled…
You alone can guard me to avoid the proudly defiled.
Thank You for avenging me, Your transformed creation
In my plea for Your aid toward faithful conversion
Against backsliding-corruption…
You alone can rescue me from transgressions’ destruction.
Thank You for avenging me, Your privileged servant
In my prayer for Your guidance of divine grant
Against defiance that displeases You, my Master-Commandant…
You alone can direct me toward what You perfectly want.
Thank You for avenging me, Your entrusted steward
In my request for Your training of caring regard
Against stubbornness I should ward off though it’s hard…
You alone can mold for faithfulness’ reward.
Thank You for avenging me, Your enlightened student
In my need to learn from Your, indeed heavenly sent
Against failure due to foolishness-ignorance whereto I’m bent…
You alone can teach me with Your truth of no falsity-dent.
Thank You for avenging me, Your earnest believer
In my supplication for Your increase to my faith as humble receiver
Against doubts and disobedience wrought by evil deceiver…
You alone can instruct me well since You are the supreme law Giver.
