Today's Blog Title: "Mediating When Distressed"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 77:1-20
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 77:1 "I cried out to God with my voice--To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me."
Psalm 77 was written by Asaph. It is a psalm of a troubled believer. It is marked by a sense of inward trouble and reflection. The psalm is the voice of an individual, but since Asaph speaks on behalf of the nation of Israel, the psalm may best be called a national lament song.
The six questions in verses 7-9 reveal that the psalm was written at a time when God had apparently withheld His compassion from His people, even though no reason or details are given. The remedy for the situation is the same for both the nation and the individual: remembrance of God's mighty deeds in the past. Therefore, after expressing his lament, Asaph recalls that human opposition could not withstand God's mighty deliverance at the time of the Exodus; neither could natural powers stay His hand when He decided to act. He realizes that God, who unleashed His mighty power to redeem Israel will surely act for them again.
Today's Hymn: "Tell Me The Story Of Jesus"
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word
Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard
Tell how the angels in chorus, sang as they welcomed His birth
"Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth."
Tell me the story of Jesus, Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that was ever heard
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how thankful that you are our Abba Father and that we can come to you and sit in you lap and be comforted by You. How thankful we are that even when you are angry with us Your love far out weights Your angry once we come to You and ask forgiveness. Tell us to realize that when we fail to come to You for forgiveness the burden of the sin weights upon our heart and interferes with our relationship with You.
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "For the righteous, the fear of God is a response of awe, wonder, adoration, and worship. For the wicked, the fear of God is terror, for there is no escape from Him"

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".
