Grace for your spirit August 16, 2013

Grace for your spirit
O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is lovingkindness, And with Him is abundant redemption.  Psalm 130:7

The  children of Israel sang this Psalm as they traveled to Jerusalem. 
The Psalm starts with an individual cry for the hope of God's forgiveness. At the end there is a collective plea for all Israel to hope for the same thing.  How can we apply this in our journey for God?  We certainly need to seek God's forgiveness personally, but let's not forget to pray for the church to collectively find His lovingkindness and redemption.  His church is suffering and needs continual prayers to bind us together, and bind us together with God.  Let's pray for the redemption of the church.
