Evening August 4
He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.—You were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh.
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint.—“Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice. For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.”—We went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.”Ps. 18:16; Ps. 40:2; Eph. 2:1-3; Ps. 61:1, 2; Jonah 2:2, 3; Ps. 66:12; Isa. 43:2
