Title - Choosing Life Part 12

Text - Psalm 143 MSG

Verses 4&5,

'The enemy hunted me down; he kicked me and stomped me within an inch of my life. He put me in a black hole, buried me like a corpse in that dungeon. I sat there in despair, my spirit draining away, my heart heavy, like lead. I remembered the old days, went over all you’ve done, pondered the ways you’ve worked…

We choose life in the midst of exhaustion and resist resignation by remembering the days of the Lord.

Verses 5-10

“Stretched out my hands to you, as thirsty for you as a desert thirsty for rain. 'Hurry with your answer, God ! I’m nearly at the end of my rope. Don’t turn away; don’t ignore me! That would be certain death. If you wake me each morning with the sound of your loving voice, I’ll go to sleep each night trusting in you. Point out the road I must travel; I’m all ears, all eyes before you. Save me from my enemies, — you’re my only hope! Teach me how to live to please you, because you’re my God. Lead me by your blessed Spirit into cleared and level pastureland. '

We choose life in the midst of exhaustion and resist resignation by stretching out towards God and looking and listening for His response. 

Verses 1-2, 11-12

'Listen to this prayer of mine, God ; pay attention to what I’m asking. Answer me—you’re famous for your answers! Do what’s right for me. Keep up your reputation, God—give me life! In your justice, get me out of this trouble! In your great love, vanquish my enemies; make a clean sweep of those who harass me. And why? Because I’m your servant.'

We choose life in the midst of exhaustion and resist resignation by resting on the integrity of God.
