Bible Scripture for Saturday 7 May 2011

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

Today's Blog Title: "A Cry for Justice"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 35:1-28
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 35:9  "And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD, It shall rejoice in His salvation."

This psalm is a psalm of lament.  It is the cry of petition of a man falsely accused.  It may date back to when David was being pursued by Saul.  David in this psalm calls God to his aid against enemies who have attacked him without just cause.  David prays God will not be an onlooker but will rescue him as justice requires, sure the He will be exalted in David's vindication.

In Matthew 35:11-16, Jesus taught that we are to love our enemies.  While this command is not found in the Old Testament, David had surely understood and applied this concept taught by Jesus many hundreds of years later.

We as Christians should not try and get revenge on our enemies.  God will balance the moral books.  Our role as a child of God is to follow the teachings of Jesus and follow David's example and do our enemies good.

Today's Hymn: "He Is Exalted"

He is exalted, the King is exalted on high, I will praise Him
He is exalted, forever exalted, and I will praise His name
He is the Lord, Forever His truth shall reign;
Heaven and earth, rejoice in His Holy Name
He is exalted, the King is exalted on high.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  As we serve you and do Your will in our lives, may be exalt You and praise your name which is above every name.  You are the King of kings and Lord of Lords and we find our strength and comfort in You.  Protect from the evil forces of this world that try to do us harm.  May we forgive our enemies as You instructed us to do in Your Holy Word.
                                                                                                                                             Amen
