Bible Scripture Reading for Friday 24 June 2011

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

Today's Blog Title: "A Prayer for Remembrance"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 74:1-23
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 74:12 "For God is my King from of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth."

Psalm 74 was written by Asaph and is a lament psalm of the community and a is a powerful presentation at Hebrew poetry at its best.  The poem describes God's actions in the past and the desire of His people for Him to act in the present.

Asaph begs God to remember His people in a time of national disaster (the invasion of Israel and the burning of the temple and the beginning of the Babylonian  exile)  He urges God to hurry and restore the honor due His name and to keep His covenant promises to aid His oppressed people.  This psalm ends with a passionate appeal for God to rise up and to act.

This psalm has five parts: (1) a community lament over a foreign invasion (verses 1-8); (2) a community complaint that there appears to be no hope (verses 9-11); (3) a recounting of God's historic victories against evil powers (verses 12-17); (4) a petition for God to remember His covenant and deliver His people (verses 18-21); (5) a call for god to act on His own behalf against 
His enemies (verses 22,23).

Today's Hymn: "All Because Of Calvary"

All my sins are gone, all because of Calvary;
Life is filled with song, all because of Calvary;
Christ my Savior lives, Lives from sin to set me free;
Some day He's coming, O wondrous, blessed day
All, yes, all because of Calvary.

Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit how thankful we are that once we become a child of the King that You shield us with Your Love and Your Mercy.  Help us Lord when we are attacked by the forces of this world to come yo You knowing that You are there for us.  Thank you for the prayers of others that help sustain us in times of trouble.  Help us Lord, to be mindful of the needs of others, and to remember them in prayer.
                                                                                                      Amen
