"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Blog Title: "Prayer and Praise for deliverance from Enemies"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 7:1-17
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 7: "I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High."
This Psalm is a lament psalm, and presents us David's protests of innocence. We will see as we go through the Book of Psalm that in some cases the psalmist indicates that there suffering is deserved, and lead to confession. But in other psalms they do not believe they deserve the suffering or the felling of being abandoned by God.
The powerful message all through this Book of Psalm is two fold: (1) God is good, and (2) life is difficult. Our faith is lived between these two realities. In this Psalm David, innocent of the slanders charged by his enemies, calls on God to vindicate him by punishing the wicked. God is pictured here saving the upright in heart and He "expresses His wrath" against evildoers (Verses 10-11). The Apostle Paul puts it even more strongly; When Jesus returns the wicked will be "punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of His power."
This psalm has 7 themes:
(1) An initial appeal for deliverance (verses 1-2)
(2) A protest of innocence (verses 3-5)
(3) An appeal for God's judgment, part 1 (verses 6-8)
(4) An appeal for God's judgment, part 2 (verses 9-10)
(5) A picture of God's judging work (verses 11-13)
(6) A portrait of the wicked (verses 14-16)
(7) A vow of praise (verse 17)
Thank God that in righteousness He saves as well as punishes. The Almighty God is our shield and our defense. God hovers over the believer like a shield, an invisible defense. The wicked give birth to there own destruction. The God of Israel is not just another national deity:
God Rules ALL NATIONS.
Today's Hymn: "Wrap Me In Your Arms"
There is a God who loves me, Who wraps me in His arms
And that is the place where I'm changed, and that's where I belong
Take me to that place Lord, To that secret place
Where I can be with You, You can make me like You
Wrap me in Your arms, Wrap me in Your arms
Wrap me in Your arms
Heavenly Father, Thank You for wrapping us in Your loving and protective arms. Thank You for protecting us with Your shield against the fiery arrows of the enemy who seeks to destroy us. May we have the confidence to call upon You for help in every situation in our daily life's, knowing that You are faithful to Your promises to be there with us always even to the end of the world.
Amen
