Read Psalm 25-II Timothy 1:12

Are you waiting on the Lord for something in your life? 

Have you been waiting a long time?

I had a mother-in-law that I had prayed for a very long time.  Almost 35 years in fact.  There were many times I just wanted to give up, but, with the Lord’s help I persevered.  Our relationship was a real struggle!  I so wanted to just walk away but I ran to the Lord for help.  I learned to forgive her, be kind to her, and prayed hard for her.  Just before she passed away she came to know the Lord as her Savior and Lord.  It was so beautiful you could not help but notice the complete change in her.

How do we wait on the Lord?

Wait-To rest in expectation and patience, to stay; not to depart, to look watchfully. To be ready to serve; to obey [1828 Websters Dict.]   

I used to always think that waiting meant doing nothing but that is far from the truth.  As we wait for Him we can be very active, spending time in His Word, praying and meditating on His Word.  We can hide His Word in our hearts so that we might not sin against Him.  He is good to those who wait on Him and we are not shaken. 

One of my favorite verses while waiting is  II Tim. 1:12 …for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

Scriptures to encourage you while you wait!

O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”— ²¹ which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith.
Grace be with you. 1 Timothy 6:20-21

Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the  treasure which has been entrusted to you. 2 Timothy 1:13-14

Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD Psalms 27:14

The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the person who seeks Him.
²⁶ It is good that he waits silently
For the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:25-26

My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.
² He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. Psalms 62:1-2

What are you waiting for?

Looking forward to hear what you are doing while you are waiting on Him.

Prayer

Father, sometimes the wait seems like it is taking forever, but we can be confident that what we have entrusted to You, You will accomplish in Your time and way.  Help us not to worry or fret but to keep trusting in You.  To keep growing from spending time with You each day in Your Word.  Help us to hide Your Word in our hearts that we might not sin against You.  Help us to come boldly and confidently before Your throne of grace, to receive mercy and grace for help in our times of need.  For there is no one like You, the God of Israel, who rides on the heavens to help us and on the clouds in Your majesty. You eternal God are our refuge and underneath us are Your everlasting arms.  Drive out the enemy from before us, saying destroy him! Deut 33: 26-27  Amen!

Selah,

It so amazes me how David could express so many of God’s thoughts into words! This Psalm is one of the most beautiful expressions of these thoughts, right from the Heart of God!  

In the first verses of this psalm David declared the greatness of God:

“The earth [b]is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it, the world, and those who dwell in it. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the streams and the rivers.” (AMP 24:1, 2)

In the AMP Bible I found the following footnotes which I thought were very interesting:

Psalm 24:1 In the Talmud it is said that the Levites sang a particular psalm for every day of the week, and this was the psalm for the first day.

(b) The ancient rabbis taught that since the earth and everything it contains belongs to the Lord, it is sacrilege to enjoy anything of the world without first saying a benediction for it.

We as Christians might not believe this as a sacrilege, but if we meditate…this in other words, is the same as “taking for granted”. How many times in my “busyness”, I have done so!

 In the second section of this Psalm, David expressed how we can come into relationship with God:

“Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?” (24:3 AMP)

The question in this verse is something we usually do not ask ourselves, but it is something that as Christians we know by heart, something that Jesus taught us:

 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.” (Matt. 5:23-24)

We as Christians have that blessing and privilege to come to His Holy place, just as it is written in Hebrews 4:15-16

¹⁵ For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin. ¹⁶ Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].”

In Psalm 24:4-5. David answers: :“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully; he shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the blood of his salvation.”

C.H. Spurgeon explains: “If a man were clean as to his actions, but not clean as to his motives, he would not be fit to enter heaven, but the man described here is a true man. He has not followed after vanity, neither has he uttered a lie, but he has followed the truth, and he has spoken the truth. He is the man whom God will bless, but he has no righteousness of his own, so we read that “he shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” So he needed to be saved, and he needed a righteousness better than his own, and this God will give him.”

Psalm 24:7-10 -This last part welcomes God unto His people by the opening of the gates:

“Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors,That the King of glory may come in.⁸ Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.⁹ Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in. ¹⁰ Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.(AMP)

I love how Matthew Henry explains these final verses:

“This is the gospel call and demand, that we let Jesus Christ, the King of glory, come into our souls, and welcome him with hosannas, “Blessed is he that cometh”.  That we may do this aright we are concerned to ask, “Who is this King of glory?”—to acquaint ourselves with him, whom we are to believe in, and to love above all. And the answer is ready: “He is Jehovah, and will be Jehovah our righteousness”, an all-sufficient Saviour to us, if we give him entrance and entertainment. He is strong and mighty, and the Lord of hosts; and therefore it is at our peril if we deny him entrance; for he is able to avenge the affront; he can force his way, and can break those in pieces with his iron rod that will not submit to his golden scepter.”

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father it amazes me that You, the Creator of heaven and earth and all that is come to existence, would love us so much as to give the life of your Precious Son in sacrifice for the saving of our lives! May we lift up holy hands (1 Tim 2:8) in prayer and praise as we approach your throne of grace “so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].” (Heb. 4:16)  Thank you for the privilege of being our King and our all-sufficient Savior! Our prayer is that our loved ones will one day answer your loving call to open the doors of their hearts (Rev. 3:20-21), and we all be one in You and cheerfully proclaim: “You are the King of Glory! The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle, You are our King!”  In Jesus Name we pray. Amen!

Blessings,

Mari.

Our Reading: Psalm 23 and John 10:11-18

This Psalm is one of the most well known and recited of all of the Psalms. It’s a beautiful, comforting depiction of being cared for as a good shepherd would care for one of his cherished sheep. Even as a child, I didn’t understand all of the references but I still understood the importance of being able to trust the Good Shepherd, Jesus. As an adult, the Psalm has taken on even deeper meaning as I have learned more about the care of sheep. 

Perhaps you are familiar with these aspects of shepherding or perhaps you too will learn some interesting things about fluffy, dependent sheep. 

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: Sheep easily panick. A calming technique used by shepherds is to gently force the sheep to  lay down. This helps to comfort them  and refocus them to feed quietly on the grass.

He leadeth me beside the still waters. Sheep are afraid of running water. Shepherds will often use rocks, etc. to create a little pool of quiet standing water and then the sheep will drink. 

He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  Sheep are flock animals but can also be prone to wandering and the shepherd will have to find them and bring them back to the fold. He will even carry them back if they can not walk on their own.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death: I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.  The shepherd was equipped to protect his sheep. Common tools included a rod or club used as a weapon to defend the sheep from predators. He also carried a staff with a crook that would hook around a sheep’s neck or limb to nudge and guide it away from danger. He would personally lead them through new and dangerous terrain as he moved them from one grazing area to another. 

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Tables in biblical times could refer to the grassy field areas, known as mesas where sheep would graze. The shepherd would inspect the fields for danger before allowing the sheep to graze there.

Thou anointest my head with oil: Shepherds would place oil on the sheep for protection from various insects and skin conditions they were prone to. 

With the Good Shepherd, Jesus, watching over us, protecting us, comforting us, and restoring us, we are provided with an abundant life. If you are one of His sheep you can say:

My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

Reflection: 

1. The most important question of your life: Do you have a Good Shepherd? Are you part of the Savior’s cherished flock? 
2. Are you prone to wander off on your own in search of “greener pastures”?
3. Do you trust and find comfort in the guidance and protection of the Good Shepherd when you must enter those dark valleys of life?
4. Have you given thanks today for the abundant blessings of His love, His mercy, His protection and His provision in your life?

Prayer: We thank you for being such a Good Shepherd to us. You gently lead us and guide us. You protect us from dangers and from the enemy who lays in wait to ensnare and harm us. You know how to calm us when we are afraid and anxious. You love us enough to go after us when we lose our way and wander. You provide our every need and even more than we need. Thank you that you cause our cup to overflow with your abundant blessings. 

 Today's Psalm: Psalm 22  &  Matthew 27:32-44,  Hebrews 2:10-13

Psalm 22 is known as the Psalm of the Cross. It is perhaps the most amazing of all the Psalms, for it accurately predicts what Jesus will experience on the cross some 950 years before His crucifixion occurred and is known as one of the messianic psalms. 

David begins with “My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?” These same words were echoed from the cross when Jesus said, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (Matthew 27:46). We can see in Psalm 22 some of the suffering and emotions that Jesus must have experienced on our behalf from the cross. 

David too, must have been dealing with a difficult time in his life; a time when he felt overwhelmed and abandoned, and  before we go any further, can you remember a time when you felt alone and abandoned by God and others? Perhaps, wondering if anyone cared. I may be wrong, but I think all of us can remember a time, or two in our life when we felt exactly that way.  

The trouble is when we get into a state where we begin to feel alone and abandoned our focus tends to be on ourselves and how we're feeling and the circumstances going on around us, and here in this psalm, David give us the solution for rising above our circumstances and placing our focus back on The Lord. 

First, he begins to cry out to God, But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me." (Psalm 22:19 and other verses.) 

Second, he begins to focus on God's promises and turns his prayer into praise and I believe this is key, for there is power found our praises! 

Notice beginning in verse 22, David's focus seems to shift from the circumstances around him, etc. to the truths about who God is and that He will never abandon him. I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him! (Psalm 22:22-23a) 

The truth is even in our darkest hour God is never far away. He will come to the rescue and make things better. Here's just a few truths I pulled from this psalm and I hope you'll share others with us on WitW

1.     God does not abandon us (Psalm 22:24).

2.     God will always help us (Psalm 22:19, Psalm 22:26).

3.     We can trust God to be with us through whatever we are up against (Psalm 22:3-5).

4.     With God, there is not a single person or circumstance that can permanently defeat us (Psalm 22:27-28).

Pause to Reflect:

1. Have you ever felt distant from God during a difficult time? What did you experience in both your thinking and feelings?

2. What helps you in difficult times to regain your balance?

3. Does it comfort you to know Jesus experienced all you have and more and can sympathize with all you go through?

Psalm 21, 1 Corinthians 15:17-22

When someone hurts us, it’s in our nature to want to retaliate. To make them feel, not only the same, but worse pain than they caused us. But instead of encouraging revenge or getting even, God demands something unfair, undoable, and unjust. Not only does He want us to leave the punishing to Him, but He expects us to forgive our enemies. And most infuriating of all, to pray blessings into their lives. Seriously? 

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my enemies to prosper. I want God to make them suffer. That’s why I found Romans 12:19  so encouraging. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” Vengeance! That’s what they deserve. Only, God’s idea of vengeance and mine were pretty different. Where I wanted Him to dole out a punishment to those who hurt me, He wanted to give me a blessing far greater and more satisfying than any  revenge.

2 Peter 1:3 says, “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence..” That’s the blessing. God’s divine power through the Holy Spirit that works inside of us. The power of God which allowed David to rule as king, defeat his enemies, and experience victory over trials. And the same power that allows us to forgive others, restore broken relationships, and have hearts overflowing with grace and mercy instead of dried and hardened from bitterness and revenge.

Once we were enemies of God. Yet from the richness of His unmerited grace and mercy, He provided a path to forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life. “Most blessed forever,” the Lord gives us mercy instead of death. Grace instead of anger. And love instead of retribution. So when facing our enemies we can, like David, rejoice, singing praises to God’s power. And follow the example of Jesus who, “committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth. When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.” (1 Peter 2:22-23)

Pause and Reflect -

Proverbs 28:25 warns, “He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.” When someone hurts you, is your first response to hurt them back or do you first go to the Lord? Has anger ever gotten the better of you and caused you to regret your actions? 

Are you rejoicing in the power of God? The power that allows you to defeat sin, forgive the unforgivable, boldly share the Gospel, and face all enemies knowing through God the victory is already yours? How have you seen God’s power work in your life? 

Finally, let’s pray together,

Our dearest Father in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Father life is hard, and people hurt us. But instead of responding in anger and hate, may we show the same love, mercy, and forgiveness that you show us daily. We pray that you would take our hard hearts of flesh, softening, and molding them into hearts of Christ. Father, Your word declares that all power belongs to You, yet You generously give that power to indwell those who believe in Christ Jesus. May we use that power in goodness to others, manifesting Your glory on earth. In Jesus precious name we pray, Amen.

Happy Scripture Saturday!

The verse for this week comes from Psalm 18. This Psalm was written the day that God delivered David…rescued him from his enemies and from Saul.

For it is You who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness. (Psalm 18:28)

Knowing that God is my light, my hope in times of darkness: my troubles, difficulties, confusion, shows me that in the midst of these times of darkness, as I go to Him, He is ready to provide deliverance, loving guidance, joy, and peace…and I will follow His light in a trusting, abiding faith.

Our life, sadly, involves times of darkness. Times of suffering, hardships, adversity or pain, which are all part of the life that we have here on earth. But we are fortunate to have a light that shines through these times of darkness. A light that comes from only Him. 

Don’t you love the transparency of David? Here in Psalm 18, David reminds us that when we are experiencing a time of darkness, we can, and should, in faith, hope and trust, turn to Him who is more than able to come to our rescue. As we cry out to Him, in distress, He provides us with Light, His wisdom, His strength, His love, His entire being. His light shines so that we can see the path He directs us to follow.  Our part is simply to listen and obey for, as David said, “…He clothes me with strength and makes my way perfect.” (v. 32)

Don't forget to share with us the attribute of God that most spoke to you this week!

Trust in the name of the Lord our God!

Read Psalm 20-Eph. 6:10-18

This psalm is a prayer for victory over our enemies.  The enemy is hard at work to distract us in any way he can.  He taunts the army of the living God as he did in the days of David and just as David stood strong in the Lord we can to.  David used a stone to overcome the enemy and we have God’s word to overcome him. 

God gives us victory against the flesh, the world and the devil. Our battles are His battles of light against darkness and good against evil.

He shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, ⁴ for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’ Deuteronomy 20:3-4

Psalm 20:5 says, “May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God.” In verses 6–8 Now this I know: The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.” God’s people continue to say, “The Lord is my Banner,” because it is in His power that the enemies are vanquished (see also Psalm 60:4–5). The Lord is our Banner in that He is the One under whom we unite. He is our Savior. We are rescued by Him and identified in Him.

Isaiah prophesies that the “Root of Jesse” (Jesus) will stand as a banner for the peoples.  Then in that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a  signal for the peoples;
And His resting place will be glorious. Isaiah 11:10

Let’s pray

Abba Father, I acknowledge You as the One true God, the God of Jacob.  You are our Jehovah-Nissi, a banner over us.  You help us and support us.  You grant us our heart’s desire.  We sing for joy over Your victory in our lives.  You save Your anointed ones with the saving strength of Your right hand.  Some boast in many things in their lives but we will only boast in the You the Lord our God.  We rise up and stand before You, Our King. 

Lord, I thank You that You have given us everything we need to stand strong against the enemy of our soul.  It is You “who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” and I submit myself to You as Your servant.  Help me to always understand who my enemy is and be able to clearly recognize his hand in everything.  I know You do not ever bring confusion on us, but You can confuse the enemy (I Cor. 14:32).  Whenever he tries to cause confusion in my life, I pray You will cause confusion in his camp when I pray.  I know the enemy is no match for You, and the only way he gains power is by deceiving people into believing his lies.  Keep me from all deception.

Thank you, Lord, for protecting me and those I pray for from evil people who do the enemy’ bidding.  Thank You, Jesus, that we can be delivered from “unreasonable and wicked men” (II Thess. 3:2).  Keep me from becoming fearful when I see the wicked succeeding in their terrible plans.  Enable me to rise up against the enemy in prayer.  Keep me from all sin so that I will never allow the enemy to have a wedge in my life.  I want to only do what pleases You and never do the enemy’s bidding.  I know that only You are everywhere.  The enemy is not!  Only You are all–powerful and know everything.  Neither of those is true of the enemy.  Help me to remember these things at all times.  In Jesus’ name I pray.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. ¹¹  Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. ¹² For our struggle is not against  flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, ¹⁵ and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; ¹⁶  in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
¹⁸  With all prayer and petition  pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view,  be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, Ephesians 6:10-18

I encourage you to pray through the armor each day!

As a young woman I had the opportunity to travel with my family: I always thought  it was so much fun,  especially when went to the beach. But after I surrendered my life to Jesus, a friend of mine and her mother invited me to the spend summer vacations at cozy inn next to a beautiful beach! Wow, those amazing sunsets, having breakfast on the terrace listening to the rush of the waves and the sound of the seagulls… the touch of the breeze on my skin!! God’s Presence was in each and every one of these scenarios! I could now praise our Heavenly Father with David’s words:

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.” (19:1-2)

I would look back and ask myself: why I had not noticed all this before? What made it so special this time? I like the following explanation by Matthew Henry:

“God's glory, (that is, his goodness to man) appears much in the works of creation, but much more in and by divine revelation. The Holy Scripture, as it is a rule both of our duty to God and of our expectation from him, is of much greater use and benefit to us than day or night, than the air we breathe in, or the light of the sun. The discoveries made of God by his works might have served if man had retained his integrity; but, to recover him out of his fallen state, another course must be taken; that must be done by the word of God.”

Yes, when we recognize the Glory of God in His Creation not only through our senses but through His Word, our whole being responds in awe! That is why in the following verses David continues expressing how valuable His Word is:

“-The law of the Lord is perfect.  It is perfectly free from all corruption, perfectly filled with all good, and perfectly fitted for the end for which it is designed; and it will make the man of God perfect, (2 Tim. 3:17)

 -The testimony of the Lord (which witnesses for him to us) is sure, incontestably and inviolably sure, what we may give credit to, may rely upon, and may be confident it will not deceive us.

-The statutes of the Lord (enacted by his authority, and binding on all wherever they come) are right, exactly agreeing with the eternal rules and principles of good and evil, that is, with the right reason of man and the right counsels of God. All God's precepts, concerning all things, are right (Ps. 119:128), just as they should be;

-The commandment of the Lord is pure; it is clear, without darkness; it is clean, without dross and defilement. It is itself purified from all alloy, and is purifying to those that receive and embrace it.

-The fear of the Lord (true religion and godliness prescribed in the word, reigning in the heart, and practiced in the life) is clean: clean itself, and will make us clean (Jn. 15:3); it will cleanse our way,

-The judgments of the Lord (all his precepts, which are framed in infinite wisdom) are true; they are grounded upon the most sacred and unquestionable truths;  they are righteous, all consonant to natural equity; and they are so altogether: there is no unrighteousness in any of them, but they are all of a piece.” (19:7-10 -Blueletterbible.org)

We can now realize our Heavenly Father’s Revelation to all who seek Him: His Glory, His Greatness, His Majesty, and humbly recognize as David did, how small we are and how great our flaws are!  David also recognized he so much needed to depend on His Rock and Redeemer, and so do we!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father: I humbly come to the throne of Grace, recognizing how much I need you, for I fail in my walk with you and sin against you in many ways, especially when I take for granted ALL you have given me!

Thank you Heavenly Father for your beautiful creation and your precious Word with which You have revealed Your loving kindness to us. May I always treasure it in my heart, follow it and share it, every day of my life!  Thank you for the Precious life of Jesus, who: “…  is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. “(Col, 1:15-16), and who voluntarily laid down His life for our redemption! (Titus 2:14) O how great is Your love for us!! “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” (19:14), In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen 

Blessings,

Mari
