Psalm 70
Evil is seeking to devour us. We should seek God with the same intensity that evil seeks us. Verse 4 says, "But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you."
We are blessed just in the act of seeking Him! Seeking Him means we are craving His presence as if we were starving for food.
Psalm 71
Attention Cradle Christians! These are our verses!
Psalm 71:5-6
For
you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my
youth. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my
mother's womb. I will ever praise you.
Both of us (Phil
and Patti) were brought up in a Christian home. We knew Jesus first as
a friend before we even knew we needed a Savior! Praise God for
Christian homes!
It is very clear in this psalm as well as many
other Scriptures that we are admonished to teach our children and
grandchildren.
Lots of questions in Psalm 77;
Will
the Lord reject forever? Will he never show favor? Has His love
vanished? Has His promise failed? Has God forgotten? Has He withheld His
compassion?
Whenever we have these same questions, we need only take to heart the following verse found in the same psalm. “I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.”When we consider His mighty deeds, we won’t question very long!
“…though your footprints were not seen.”
How often does God work in our lives even when we can’t see what He is doing?
Psalm 83
Numerous prophecies from this psalm that are being fulfilled in our lifetime.
Verse 4
Come, they say, let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.
The
same people that are listed in this psalm; the Edomites, Ishmaelites,
Moab, Ammon, Philistia, etc. are all enemies of Israel today.
Psalm 86
“Teach me your way O Lord, and I will walk in your truth.”
Yes, Lord, teach us your way! So that we may walk in your truth.
