Psalm 35:28

Psalm 35:28

Praise Him - all day long!

So we come to the last verse of a troubled song of David. His travails are over and there is light and hope at the end of a particularly dark tunnel. The tongue that has given vent to woes and sufferings has been released! We all need times when are tongues are used for celebration. If our tongue only bewails and moans and complains it is a very sad thing, for what comes out of our mouths indicates what is happening in our hearts. There are times to complain and give vent to our frustrations, but they need to be balanced with songs of joy and what better way to do this than to proclaim the righteousness of the Lord. Most worship songs do this, they proclaim the power, strength, wisdom, love, patience, kindness, grace – the list is a long one, of our God. And since He is a righteous God, everything that He is, that He says, that He does is righteous, so there is plenty of scope for our worship! That’s why David suggests we do it, “all day long!”Hallelujah!

 

Thank You Lord that You always bring us through the dark times. However badly we have been let down by other people, You never fail us. Thank You that we are able to give vent to all of our injustices and to bring to you the wrongs that we have suffered; we are even able to suggest that You could act a bit quicker sometimes! Oh Lord how patient and kind You are, thank You for Your tolerance and Your gracious love. Free us from those who treat us unjustly, let us be vindicated Oh God. We celebrate Your victory Oh Lord, we will sing Your praises, “all day long.”  Hallelujah!

Psalm 4:1 Smear campaigns

Psalm 4:1    Smear campaigns   The background to this Psalm is so familiar; David is being slandered and maligned by his detractors.  It seems that some calamity has befallen the nation and the king is getting the blame! Lies are being told, a smear campaign has begun, and the reputation of the Sovereign is under threat.  As usual, if something goes wrong, culpability is laid at the feet of the one in charge.  David, quite rightly, turns to the Lord his God and prays for relief and for mercy. The Satan is a master of such campaigns and his emissaries gleefully turn on Christians in leadership positions although the whispering campaign can affect all of us. The whispering starts in our own heads, but it can also come from the lips of our detractors. It goes something like this: - You’re the reason it went wrong You messed up again You should have seen it coming Surely you know better You are not worthy You don’t know what you’re doing Someone else ought to be in c

Psalm 74:16

Psalm 74:16 God established the sun and the moon “ In  the beginning   God created   the heavens   and the earth.   2  Now the earth was formless   and empty,   darkness was over the surface of the deep,   and the Spirit of God   was hovering over the waters. 3  And God said,   “Let there be light,” and there was light.   4  God saw that the light was good,   and he separated the light from the darkness.   5  God called   the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”   And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” These, so familiar, words from Genesis 1 remind us of who is in charge! There would be no light without God. There would be no day or night without God. There would be no earth without God. And there would have been no living things unless God had created order out of chaos. The sun, moon and stars would not be fixed in their orbits without God and you and I would not exist unless He ordered our conception. It is because we see God as glorious, righteous

Psalm4:8        I will lie down and sleep                Th ere are times, in the life of all believers, when we no longer have control of situations. We can do nothing more. We have given our all, we have tried every possible solution and now it is out of our hands. As someone has wisely said, “It is time to let go and let God.” If we truly trust Him, if our faith will allow us, we can turn our backs on our enemies. We can block our ears to the threats. We can ignore the lies and the deceit and say,  “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord, make me dwell in safety.” I should imagine that the devil, having sent a hurricane our way is not amused, when we settle in our beds in the midst of it all and drift off into a peaceful sleep! But that is our right and privilege once we let the Lord God Almighty take control. These spiritual attacks are like whirlwinds, they blow with terrifying intensity and threaten to turn us upside down; the disciples witnessed one of thes
