My God, Thank You For Causing Me To Approach You

May 13 Scripture Meditations Based on Psalms 63-65

Key Verse – Psalm 65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR CAUSING ME TO APPROACH YOU Thank You for causing me to approach You with humility To beg for Your power midst weakness-frailty Against pride and selfishness’ vanity By Your subduing might’s certainty. Thank You for causing me to approach You with devotion To praise Your name midst worship-jubilation Against boredom and weariness’ dysfunction By Your loving kindness’ inspiration. Thank You for causing me to approach You with faithfulness To see Your glory midst majesty-brightness Against transgression and iniquity’s filthiness By Your pardoning mercy’s forgiveness. Thank You for causing me to approach You with confidence To seek Your presence midst worldliness-turbulence Against unbelief and doubtfulness’ insolence By Your controlling sovereignty’s prevalence. Thank You for causing me to approach You with delight To enjoy Your fellowship midst supplication-plight Against carnality and lustfulness’ blight By Your reviving warmth’s light. Thank You for causing me to approach You with gratitude To exalt Your name midst magnification-magnitude Against discontentment and bitterness’ attitude By Your transforming work’s fortitude.
