I am Yours, save me

In the Luther' films, depicting Luther in his life struggles, Luther is heard to be praying the words of Psalm 119:94: "I am yours, save me."   Luther put his hope in the Lord, who saved him by sending His Son Jesus Christ.   It would do us well to look at the verses preceding and following verse 94.  The Psalmist delights in the Lord and His Word, he calls upon the Lord in his trouble by trusting in God's Word.   He takes God at His Word, and in a paraphrase of Luther, the Psalmist reminds God of His promises.   What a model for our prayer life.   Read God's Word, delight in that Word, and then pray God's Word back to God, trusting in God's Word and promises, for this is what God calls us to do.
