God of Glory (March 3)

Overview: As David penned
Psalms 25-30, he would have
thought of the multifaceted
character of the God he served.
The Lord is good and upright (25:8),
my light (27:1), my strength (28:7),
King forever (29:10) and
my God (30:2).

All Praise be to God of Glory:
Give unto the Lord… mighty ones,
Give unto the Lord glory & strength.
Give unto the Lord the glory
due to His name; worship the
Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is over
the waters; the God of glory
(El Hakabodh) thunders, the Lord
thunders over the mighty waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full
of majesty (Psalm 29:1-4).

Lord El Hakabodh, we praise You
for we see Your power and glory
throughout the whole creation.
Because of Jesus, we are able
to come into Your presence
to behold the glory of the Lord.
Transform us Lord into Your
image from one degree of glory
to another. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord El Hakabodh, You are
a jealous God who will not
share Your glory with another.
Forgive my shortsightedness in
not seeing Your glory thru Your creation, Your works and Your Word.
Forgive me for turning my eyes
to humanity for it is You who
will bring about deliverance. Amen.

Lord El Hakabodh, we will fear
only You for Your voice is powerful.
Keep me from getting in the way
of Your glory by being prideful
and trusting in my own strength.
As You delivered Joseph from
the pit, deliver me from anything
that stands against Your will.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

The Lord My Light (March 2)

Overview: As David penned
Psalms 25-30, he would have
thought of the multifaceted
character of the God he served.
The Lord is good and upright (25:8),
my light (27:1), my strength (28:7),
King forever (29:10) and
my God (30:2).

All Praise be to Lord My Light:
The Lord (Jehovah) is my light
(ORI) and my salvation, whom
shall I fear? The Lord is the
strength of my life, of whom
shall I be afraid?… Though
an army may encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear; though
war may rise against me, in this
I will be confident (Ps 27:1-3).
I would have lost heart, unless
I had believed that I would see
the goodness of the Lord…
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage.
And He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait I say on the Lord (v13-14).

Lord Jehovah ORI, You are the light
of our life, brightening our path.
Praise You for helping us navigate
through the darkness of this life.
And You Lord will bring us the
light of salvation when we turn
to You with a heart of trust.
Draw people to You Lord so that
they may know and experience
You as the light of their lives. Amen

Lord, how many hours have I spent
trying to figure out my own way?
How often have I called a friend
rather than turn to You in surrender
that You alone are the light,
that You alone know the way.
Forgive me for wasted time and
energy. Forgive me for being so
consumed with my own darkness.
Forgive me for forgetting You are
there as my light & salvation. Amen

Lord Jehovah Ori, sometimes
the decisions I need to make
overwhelms me. I want to make
the right decision, but I can’t
foresee all the consequences
of the choices. Whatever the
decision is, shine Your light
on the path I need to take and
show me which way I should go.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

The Lord Mighty In Battle (March 1)

The Lord can be seen in
different roles in Psalm 19-24.
He is the Creator (Psalm 19),
the Helper (Ps 20), the King (Ps 21),
Crucified One (Ps 22), the Shepherd
(Ps 23) & the Glorious One (Ps 24).
For each role, there is a related
responsibility for the people who
would follow Him as their God
and King, Shepherd and Sovereign.

Praise the Lord Mighty In Battle:
Lift up your heads… and the
King of glory shall come in.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle
(Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah)…
Lift up your heads… And the
King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts, He is the
King of glory (Psalm 24:7-10).

Lord, today we join with Moses,
who praised and adored You
in Exodus 15 as the Lord mighty in
battle who overcame the Pharaoh’s
chariots in the Red Sea. Thank You
Lord for being mighty in battle;
for being faithful to your people;
for we need not fear anyone
or anything with the Great One
with us. In Jesus mighty name.

Lord, forgive me for taking battles
into my own hands and intellect,
trying to scheme my way into
victory rather than trusting in You,
the powerful and mighty warrior.
Forgive my naive attempts at
righting wrongs; and sometimes
leading to more wrongs as I seek
to overcome in my own strength.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Lord, visit me in my distress and
overcome those who oppose me.
When people plan to spread
untruths about me, close their lips.
Let me walk thru each day in peace,
knowing that if I will be still before
U Lord, You will fight on my behalf.
And in quietness and trust I will
find my escape from all that
troubles me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
