Bible Scripture for Monday 18 April 2011

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

Today's Blog Title: "God the Sovereign Savior"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalms: 18:1-50
Today's Key Verse: Psalms 18: 35,36 "You have also given me the shield of your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.  You enlarged my path under me, so my feet did not slip."

In this Psalm David describes God's qualities and launches into a vivid, image-rich report of divine deliverance.  David returns to God and praises Him for the many benefits he has received.  Because of all the Lord has done in showing Himself David's Saviour, the psalmist will prasied God Forever.

David's images of God are personal, relational, and reflect his role as a warrior.  Thus to David God represents his fortress (security), his shield (protection) and the "horn of my salvation" (power to deliever from enemies).  David simply recognizes the fact that God is committed to those who keep themselves from sin and do not turn away from God.

This is the nature of praise: to give God credit for who He is and what He had done.

This psalm has six parts:

(1) A statement of faith and a description of deliverance (verses 1-6)
(2) A poetic description of God's battle for David's deliverance (verses 7-19)
(3) A recital of the blessings of God on the righteous (verses 20-27)
(4) An offering of praise to the person of the Lord (verses 28-36)
(5) A recounting of battles and victories in the Lord (verses 37-45)
(6) Concluding praise for God's work of deliverance (verses 46-50)

Today's Hymn: "Your Everlasting Love"

Your everlasting love is higher, higher, higher than the sky
Your everlasting love is higher, higher, Higher than the sky, higher than the sky
Oh, the wonder of Your everlasting love, Is higher than the sky
Higher than the heavens above, is the glory of Your wonderful love
I'm lost in the mystery of Your everlasting love, Your everlasting love

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit,  How thankful we are that you are our security, our protection, and You give us the power to escape our enemies.  How we are thankful that your love is higher than the sky and how you bathe us in your heaveny love and glory.
                                                                                                                                 Amen
