Bible Scripture Reading for Wednesday 8 June 2011

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

Today's Blog Title: "A Prayer for Aid in War"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 60:1-12
Today's Key Verse: Psalm 60:11,12 "Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.  Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies."

Psalm 60 is a psalm of community lament and expresses David's great faith in the eventual victory he would find in the Lord.  In this psalm , we hear the voice of Almighty God, breaking into this psalm itself and pronouncing His judgment of David's enemies.

Since the tone of the psalm is military in nature, it is possible that this poem was used in military training .  Along with his training to his men on military weapons and tactics David would give ongoing instructions to his men about how to trust their Lord.

In this psalm God's displeasure assures defeat, but trust in His promises of victory is a solid basis of hope just as it is with us as Christians today.  Just as the song says, "My hope is build on nothing less than Jesus' Blood and Righteousness".

Today's Hymn: "I Need Thee Every Hour"

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford
I need Thee, O I need Thee,Every hour I need Thee
O Bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  Open our eyes Abba Father to the fact that as Your Children we do need Thee every hour.  Guide us, teach us and help us Holy Spirit to keep our eyes, mind and spirit focused on Jesus and on the Cross of Calvary. 
                                                                                                                     Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "To fear is to hold the name of God in awe and wonder, in worship and obedience"
