"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Blog Title: "A Prayer for Guidance"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 5:1-12
Today's Key Verse: "But let all those rejoice put their trust in you; Let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them; Let those also who love Your name be joyful in you. For you O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield."
In this psalm David prays early and earnestly, confident that God will answer. Since God rejects the arrogant, David, who is reverent and humble, is sure of God's leading. David calls on God to declare the wicked guilty. David's appeal is rooted in his conviction that God is righteous. God will act in character to preserve him.
David identifies his own cause with that of the Lord, so that attacks on him became attacks on God Himself. The "righteous" in verse 12 points to the Savior Jesus, as will be common throughout this wonderful Book of the Psalm.
This psalm has 3 main points:
(1) A prayer to the Lord for deliverance in a time of trouble (verse 1-6)
(2) A desire to worship the Lord in a time of trouble (verses 7-9)
(3) A longing for final judgment by the Lord in times of trouble (verses 10-12)
The love that we see in Calvary's ultimate sacrifice draws us, as God's mercy drew David, to worship and serve the Lord.
Today's Hymn: "Be Not Afraid, I Go Before You Always"
You shall not cross barren desert, But you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety, Though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words in foreign lands, And all will understand
You shall see the face of God,
And live
Heavenly Father, How thankful we are to You for your continuing Mercy and Grace. How we Thank You for what You do in our lives each and every day. How thankful we are that You
walk with us, and when we stumble and fall, we have You there to catch us, brush us off, and help us to keep our eyes fixed on You, and the Cross of Calvary.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "We should spend the rest of our lives thanking God for His mercy, and grace, by living a the way He guides us to live"
