Bible Scripture for Friday 15 April 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Blog Title: "A Plea for a Righteous Man"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 17:1-15
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 17:8  "Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings."

This psalm is a lament song and it is a protest of innocence.  This song is written by David.  At times David suffers under the heavy hand of God's anger because of unconfessed sin in his life.  But he also insist there are times that the troubles in his life are nor caused by him.  In these cases he called upon the name of the Lord to vindicate him. 

God indicates through this psalm that He has a special concern for people who experience undeserved suffering, even though He allows the trouble to come for reasons that may never be known in this life.

This psalm has six parts to it:

(1)  A plea for vindication (verses 1,2)
(2)  An acknowledge of God's testing  (verses 3-5)
(3) A plea for God's mercy (verses 6-9)
(4) A description of the wicked (verses 10-12)
(5) A renewed plea for vindication (verses 13-14)
(6) A statement of resolute faith (verse 15)

We as Christians need to have a firm commitment to God, and remain deeply aware of the dangers faced by Believers living in a sinful world.  What confidence it is to know that God will confront the wicked, and the righteous shall find satisfaction in God's presence.

Today's Hymn: "Christ Liveth In Me"

Once far from God and dead in sin, No light my heart could see
But in God's Word the light I found, Now Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me
Oh! what salvation this, That Christ liveth in me

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit,  Keep us as Believers to be the apple of your eye.  Show us your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand.  May be call upon You Lord knowing That You incline thine ear to hear us.  Help us to sing joyful songs to You O Lord and to rejoice in Your Salvation.

Today's Biblical Truth: "The righteous should not try to obtain what this life can offer, but instead pursuee God and His ways"

Yours in Christ,
