My God, Thank You For Building Me Up

June 2 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 125-129

Key Verse – Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it…   

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR BUILDING ME UP Thank You for building me up in Your faith-mount Please lead me by Your strength so sins I can surmount--- So good are Your blessings I can’t count Which reinforces my trust in Your grace-fount. Thank You for building me up in Your righteousness Please turn me from crookedness--- So gracious are Your ways for my holiness Which leads my testimony toward Your uprightness. Thank You for building me up in Your sovereignty Please guard me from sins’ captivity--- So great are Your commandments of instructing certainty Which moulds my life by Your authority. Thank You for building me up in Your rejoicing Please protect me from doubts’ piercing--- So generous are Your provisions never ceasing Which gladdens my heart for Your worship’s praising. Thank You for building me up in Your heritage Please surround me from worldliness’ voltage--- So grand are Your riches of eternal advantage Which points my sight toward heavenly vantage. Thank You for building me up in Your peace-jubilation Please cheer me up from misery and frustration--- So glowing are Your brightness-rays against persecution Which purifies my anxieties by Your salvation’s perfection.
