Psalm 68:32

Psalm 68:32

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth

Oh, if only the nations of the earth would sing praise to the Lord! The previous verse, linked to Isaiah 19, suggests that Egypt and Assyria will do so one day. Other Scriptures speak of the reign of Yeshua, as Messiah upon the earth, when the tide of evil will be turned back, and all nations will ascend the Mountain of Zion and worship the Lord. 

This verse of Psalm 68 is almost a plea for the kingdoms of the world to wake up and acknowledge the Lord their God. Hindu, Buddhist and the countries ruled by Islam need to turn away from their idolatry and worship the one, true God. Kingdoms run by dictators and despots need to stop trusting in men and turn to the God of justice and truth. The super-powers need to abandon their territorial supremacy and surrender their arrogance and dominance to the Super Power. Countries that are constantly developing weapons of mass destruction and increasing their armies and navies and nuclear capabilities, need to lay down their evil ambitions and care for the poor and needy. Scientists need to halt their never-ending quest to prove that mankind can resolve every question and instead, put their trust in the One who knows all things, for He will reveal and has revealed all that we will ever need to know. The nations need to stop their greed-driven quests for wealth and turn to the God who provides. Come on world, lets sing to the Lord. Come on all you kingdoms of the earth, let us all praise the One who made us and who loves us. 

One day, it will happen. Satan will be silenced, and peace and praise will dominate the airwaves. Until then It’s up to you and I to lay the foundations and make sure that at least a few members of the human race give their Creator and Father the credit He deserves! Let’s sing praise to Him today. 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

Psalm 71:17

Psalm 71:17 Since my youth ..... You have taught me I am reminded here of Paul’s words to Timothy.  “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”  2 Timothy 3:14-15.  “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, lives in you also.”  2 Timothy 1:5. Timothy and David may well have enjoyed a similar upbringing. We know that Timothy’s mother was a Jewish Christian although his father was an unbelieving Greek. (Acts 16:1) It appears that the boy had a Christian grandmother also and, as Jewish boys began to study the Hebrew Scriptures at the age of five, Timothy would certainly have been taught by his mother and grandmother from infancy. Wouldn’t it be great if all our children were able to say,
