Be not far from me; for trouble is near. —Psa. 22:11.
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? —Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. —The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. —Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. —Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. —My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Amazing Love
Daily Light on the Daily Path | October 3, Morning
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. —Rev. 1:5.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as death. —Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. —In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Ye are washed, . . . ye are sanctified, . . . ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. —Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. —I beseech you . . . brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
