"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Blog Title: "Honoring the Messianic King"
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 72:1-19
Today's Key Verses: Psalm 72:17-19 "His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen."
This psalm is the first of only two authored by Solomon. It is a royal psalm that constitutes a prayer for the new king. The psalm contains a very idealistic tone that could never be realized in a human being. Its message becomes messianic in nature and point to Christ who alone can fulfill this ideal kingship.
Solomon's prayer to be endowed with wisdom prefigures the rule of Messiah, who will rule righteously and rule from sea to sea. His commitment to rescue the needy wins Him an enduring name and brings God's unending praise.
The little word "for" directs our look back at the prediction, "All kings will bow bow to Him" (verse 11). What makes the rule of this king so special? He is special because He is dedicated to save the needy and rescue the oppressed. He has God's own compassion and the power to act on others' behalf. These verses will forever change our notion of "rule". The central issue of rule is not the power to use others, but the willingness to serve them.
Today's Hymn: "Tell It To Jesus" (verse 1)
Are you weary, are you heavy hearted, Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus
Are you grieving over over joys departed? Tell it to Jesus alone.
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus, He is a friend that's well known,
You've no other such friend or brother, Tell it to Jesus alone
Heavenly father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, How thankful we are Lord that we can come before you as our friend and as our Savior. There is no one but You Lord who can give us that complete and heart felt joy. How thankful we are to you Lord for Your Grace and Your mercy that saves us from all our sins and cleanses us from all our unrighteousness.
Amen

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 tell out, "I CAN'T", God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
