Bible Scripture for Saturday 9 April 2011

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


Today's Blog Title: "Faith in the Lord's Righteousness"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 11:1-7
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 11:7  "For the Lord is Righteous, He loves righteousness;  His countenance beholds the upright."

When advised to flee from danger, David affirms God's righteousness and His sure judgment  on the wicked.  The phrase "In His Holy Temple", is not associated with worship.  It is from His "Holy Temple" that God dispenses judgment.  Since our God exists forever and He judges, our foundation cannot be shaken much less destroyed.  


This psalm is a psalm of trust.  It expresses a great trust in Almighty God.  It is the context of adversity  that makes this psalm of trust even more impressive .  This poem has three parts:


(1) An affirmation of trust in the Lord even during the assaults of the wicked (verses 1-3)
(2) An affirmation of trust in the Lord who reigns above and who will judge the actions of the 
      (verses 4-6)
(3) An affirmation of trust in the Lord because of who He is (verse 7)

Today's Hymn: "Stand By Me"


In the midst of tribulation, Stand by me (stand by me)
In the midst of tribulation, Stand by me (stand by me)
When the hosts of hell assail, And my strength begins to fail,
Thou who never lost a battle, Stand by me (stand by me)


Heavenly Father, How thankful we are that You are the Lord of righteous.  May we always place our faith and trust in You, depending on You for Your Strength, Your Mercy and Your Grace.
                                                                                                                                         Amen




Today's Biblical Truth: "Because the Lord is righteous, the believer needs only to turn to the enfolding wings of God to renew strength and purpose in the midth of a troubled day"
