12 What shall I return to יהוה {Jehovah}? All His bounties are upon me.
13 I lift up the cup of deliverance, And call upon the Name of יהוה {Jehovah}.
14 I pay my vows to יהוה {Jehovah}Now in the presence of all His people.
Psa 50:5 “Gather My kind ones together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by slaughtering.”
My Morning Resolve
My Earliest Thought I Desire Shall Be:
“What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits
toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord [for grace to help].
I will pay my vows unto the Most High.”—Psalm 116:12-14
Remembering the Divine call, “Gather My saints together unto Me;
those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice” (Psalm 50:5), I
resolve that by the Lord’s assisting grace I will today, as a saint of
God, fulfil my vows, continuing the work of sacrificing the flesh and
its interests, that I may attain to the Heavenly inheritance in
joint-heirship with my redeemer.I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord [for grace to help].
I will pay my vows unto the Most High.”—Psalm 116:12-14
I will strive to be simple and sincere toward all.
I will seek not to please and honour self, but the Lord.
I will be careful to honour the Lord with my lips, that my words may be unctuous and blessed to all.
I will seek to be faithful to the Lord, the Truth, the brethren and all with whom I have to do, not only in great matters, but also in the little things of life.
Trusting myself to Divine care and the Providential overruling of all my interests for my highest welfare, I will seek not only to be pure in heart, but to repel all anxiety, all discontent, all discouragement.
I will neither murmur nor repine at what the Lord’s providence may permit, because
“Faith can firmly trust Him,
Come what may.”
Come what may.”
