Bible Scripture for Monday 16 May 2011

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

Today's Blog Title: "Blessings of the Merciful"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 41:1-13
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 41:12,13  "As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me before your face forever.  Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen."

This psalm is a lament song.  Since it begins and ends with words of praise to God, it also may be called a psalm of praise.  The poem describes and speaks of a person suffering from serious physical illness.  Ultimately, it presents the victory of the Savior Jesus over His enemies, especially the great enemy Satan.

This psalm teaches that God will bless the mericful , even taking vengeance on their malicious enemies.  God remains faithful and merits praise.  The experience of David in this psalm could have occurred on many occasions in his life and is the sad reality of being forsaken by one's friend.  This experience became prophetic of the experience of another, the Lord Jesus, who was himself forsaken by a close associate "Judas".

This psalm has 4 parts: (1) an affirmation of confidence in the Lord's power to deliver the godly from distress (verses 1-3); (2) a description of David's distress (verses 4-9); (3) a renewed expression of hope in the Lord (verses 10-12); (4) a praise marking the end of Book 1 of the Psalms (verse 13).

Today's Hymn: "Child of the King"(verse 2)

My Father's own Son, the Savior of men
Once wondered on earth as the poorest of them
But now He is pleading our pardon on high
That we may be His when He comes by and by
I'm a child of the King, a child of the King
With Jesus my Savior, I'm a child of the King

Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  How grateful we are that because of your love for us was so great that You died the sinners death on the Cross and then marked our deliverance from the grasp of sin when You arose on that third day conquering death and sin and thus making us "a Child of the King".  Thank you for Your faithfulness and merits our praise forevermore.
                                                                                                                Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, BUT I CAN".

Yours in Christ,
