Psalm 41:4 I said, “Lord, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

The first step in getting to know Christ properly is to start being totally honest with Him; after all, He has been nothing but honest with you!

Don’t be worried about it taking so long before you got to be close to God, be glad of all you have been through on your journey.

You’ve though of others, God has thought of you.

You’ve looked out for others, God has you.

Then He strengthened you when you least expected it.

All because He loves you!

Psalm 41:3 The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.

God is here to help us in all circumstances, whether we are fit and well or on our death bed; He is here to help.

It may be that He wants to heal us and allow us to continue serving Him, or it may be He wants to give us comfort so we can enjoy our life until we meet Him.

The decision is not ours when we die, but it is ours to continue walking in God’s grace and presence until we do.

Make it a good life – live with God every day!

Psalm 41:2 The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth;

What happens when you live your life for God? What happens when you really do listen to Him and change your outlook on life?

Well, these words may well have been written a very long time before Jesus came to serve people on earth, but they show what can and will happen!

Jesus was blessed on earth as He continued to serve His (and our) heavenly Father!

God wants to be able to support and bless us in everything we do – we need to do everything we do with God in mind.
