Hi Brian!
The word for this week is "depths". We find it in several place in the Old Testament. We'll be looking at the one found in Psalm 130:1:
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. KJV
This is the Hebrew word "ma`amaq". Strong's Concordance simply says: a deep. The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament says: of literal waters and figurative. The Passion Translation says this:
Lord, I cry out to you out of the depths of my despair!
Even knowing what we know about the Word of God and what belongs to us as children of God, as human beings we sometimes feel our own natural lack. THAT is when we turn to Him in honesty, for He already knows what we think and how we feel, and just call out for His mercies that are new every morning! Then we do like David did time after time and remind ourselves of past victories and of the promises of God that have not changed or ever even been moved by the works of the enemy or the things going on in the world in which we live. With that in mind, here is another new song by Hillsong UNITED called "Deeper Water":
Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
