Bible Scripture for Monday 2 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Blog Title: "Exhortation of the Afflicted"
Today's Scripture Reading: Palm 31:1-24
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 31:3  "For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for your name sake, Led me and guide me."

Today's psalm is a psalm of lament. but has a strong element of trust that can be classified as a psalm of trust.  The psalms of trust grow out of the confessions of trust that occur in the songs of lament and the relationship between the two classifications are apparent

In this psalm David contracts the blessing of forgiveness experienced with the anguish of refusing to confess sin.  out of the experience he share advice and conveys the promise that God will guide the forgiven and surround the person who trusts in Him with unfailing love.

When we commit ourselves to the Lord, He commits Himself to us.  In verse five we read "Into your hands I commit my spirit....".  Jesus quoted this expression at the moment of His death on Calvary.  God's honor is not bound up in preserving us from death. but in preserving us through death.

In verse 17 "put to shame" indicates the disgrace of a public humiliation and the crushing blow to the individuals confidence this involves.  The psalmist publicly places his hope in God; being "put to shame" would be the result if God failed to deliver him.  Because our hope is in God, who does deliver, His name is glorified when He relieves our distress, and at the same time we vindicated in out faith.

Today's Hymn: ""Rejoice"

Great are You, Lord, we lift up our praise;
Holy are You, all creation sings.
Heaven and Earth rejoice in Your power;
Great are your mighty deeds, Great is the Lord, Our God!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Rejoice! Rejoice!

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  Thank You for your constant and overwhelming love for us.  May Your praises be upon my heart and upon my lips.  How we appreciate the intimacy and being close to you and having your arms around us and guide us. 
                                                                                                                       Amen
