How firm of a foundation he says of the Lord, He is laid for your faith in His excellent Word.

As God's children, we can always be sure that He hears and answers our prayers when we are in

trouble. That's the comforting truth that we hear today from Dr. Jayverna McGee on through the Bible.

I'm Steve Schwetz, holding open the doors of the Bible bus as we continue our five-year journey

through God's entire Word. Now, in just a minute, we're going to begin Psalm 17. But first,

here's a quick email from Ian who listens with us from his home in Okam, England. I am an 85-year-old

follower of Christ and enjoying being a part of the world prayer team. Ian says,

it brings tears to my eyes as I realize that I have brothers and sisters all over the world,

separated physically by distance, but all one in the spirit. I rejoice in all the lovely

Praise God, and thank you all for giving us the blessing that sharing these letters provides

may it long continue. Well, thanks for your note, Ian. It is such an encouragement to hear from you.

Now, you can encourage everyone here on the Bible bus, too, just like Ian did. What's your story?

What are you learning as we study God's Word together? You know that we'd love to tell the story

of God's mercy in our lives, and we know that you do, too. So, be in touch with us today. You can

Open our eyes to see the treasures that are found in your Word in Jesus' name, amen.

It's time for our study of Psalm 17 and 18 on through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Not a day, friends. Our study brings us to the 17th Psalm, and this is a prayer of David,
