Bible Scripture reading for Thursday 21 April 2011

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

Today's Blog Title: "The Assurance of God's Saving Work"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 21:1-13
Today's Scripture Verse: Psalm 21:13  "Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength!  We will sing and praise Your power."

This psalm is another of the royal songs of David.  Psalm 20 was a prayer of the king for God's blessing on his army, while this psalm is an assurance of God's blessings on the king.  As in the case of all the royal psalms, they speak ultimately of the great King to come, the Lord Jesus.

With victory won, the king rejoices in God's strength.  In the assurance of future victory's the king vows to continue to offer God praise.

This psalm has four main parts:

(1) A declaration of praise to God by the king (verses 1,2)
(2) A review of God's Blessings on the king (verses 3-7)
(3) An expectation of the final destruction of all the enemies of the king (verses 8-12)
(4) A renewed commitment by the people to praise God (verse 13)

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
(Refrain)
Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me
Oh! what a salvation this is, That Christ liveth in me

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit,  We come before You because within our hearts and souls we have indeed found the light which is Christ living in us.  As we grow may we entrench ourselves into Your word that we might get the Spiritual nourishment that we need to grow strong in You, as we become more like Jesus. 
                                                                                                              Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "We find pleasure in Almighty God because all power come from Him"

Yours in Christ.
