"In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul."
Strength of soul is infinitely more important than strength of body. Most people are more concerned about their bodies, which, though of great worth, are not nearly as valuable as their souls. The way to get healthy souls is by crying out to God, in prayer, in and through the merits of Jesus Christ. Boldness results. Now, instead of pampering our bodies--we benefit both our souls *and* our bodies, through our union with Jesus.
Let us cry out to God today. He will not turn away any sincere soul, who comes to Him through Christ in faith and repentance.
[Puritan quote of the day: "As a thundering storm sours the beer in our cellars, so, when God thunders upon the conscience, it will sour and embitter sin to a man so that he has no desires after it for the present." --Christopher Love, in, "The Mortified Christian"]
