(This QT
teaches me what happened When The Covering Was Taken Away)
‘Crying
And Praying To The Lord.’
Psalm
30:2.
a)
The Psalmist
approached the Lord his God.
b)
He cried to God
for help and Prayed to Him.
c)
He was healed by
the Lord.
(This
Second one teaches me that sometimes I need to be Crying And Praying To The
Lord)
Chris.
The
Psalmist approached the Lord his God. Many times this is what the Lord wants us
to do but we fail to do it because our faith is passive faith. When we approach
the Lord it means that we Praise Him, Worship Him, Pray to Him and hear what He
would say to us.
