God Will Come & Save You

The psalms of Asaph (Ps 73-83)
conclude with six testimonies to
the greatness and faithfulness of
the God of Israel. He has kept His
promises in the past (Ps 78) which
is a comforting reminder in the face
of an uncertain future (Ps 79-80).
God is there (Ps 81) & is not silent
(Ps 82-83) when it comes to cries
of help and overthrowing enemies.

Lord, we will Wait for Your Help:
How long Lord? Will You be angry
forever? Let Your compassion
quickly meet our needs, for
we are on the brink of despair.
Help us O God of our salvation!
Help us for the glory of Your name.
Save us…Why shld the nations say:
Where is their God? (Ps 79:5-10).
Restore us O God; cause Your face
to shine, and we shall be Saved…
Come back, we beg You O God
Almighty. Look down from heaven
and see our plight… Care for this
vine that You have planted, this son
You have raised (Ps 80:3, 14-15).
You Cried to me… and I Saved you… 
Oh, that my people wd Listen to me!
Oh, that Israel would Follow me,
walking in my path… And I would have satisfied you (Ps 81:7, 13-16).

Lord, we realise that You don’t
always shield Your people from
attacks of this world; for You often
have a higher purpose in mind.
Help us to endure adversity with
patience and strengthen us O God.
Remember us & we appeal to Your
compassion to meet our needs;
for we are at the brink of despair,
for the glory of Your name, Amen.

Lord, thank You for the churches
in my community. Bless the pastors
and leaders with strength and unity,
and help their congregation to grow.
Help us to work together to reach
our community for You. Help me
Lord to be an encouragement to 
brothers and sisters in Christ and
not to forget that we are all running
the race together. In Jesus’ name.

Lord, help us not only wanting to
hear from You but to Listen to You.
Help us not to be skeptical and
passive hearers but willing listeners.
You Lord value discernment but 
You value trust even much more.
For You urge us in Your word
to walk by faith and not by sight.
So, fill us Lord with boldness to act on what we hear from You. Amen.

Trusting God thru His Promises

The purpose of Psalms is to provide poetry for the expression of praise, worship and confession to God.
Ps 73-89 is similar to Leviticus. We
praise God because He is holy and
deserves our worship and reverence. And because God is almighty, we
can turn to Him for deliverance.
On Monday, we learn from Ps 73
that God Is Our Shelter & Strength.
On Tuesday, we learn from Ps 77
that God Performs Miracles.
On Wed, we learn from Psalm 78
that God Will Provide Our Needs.
On Thu, we learn from Psa 79-81
that God Will Come & Save Us.
On Friday, we learn from Ps 84
that God Blesses & Gives Joy.
On Sat, we learn from Ps 88/89
on God of Salvation & Faithfulness.
Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who trust You:
for You truly keep Your promises;
for You are faithful and our shelter;
for You provide our needs, save us,
perform miracles and give joy. Amen

God of Salvation & Faithfulness

Psalms 84-89 are essentially
heartfelt petitions to God to
satisfy us again (Ps 84);
revive us again (Ps 85);
hear us again (Ps 86);
gather us again (Ps 87);
encourage us again (Ps 88);
make us to sing again (Ps 89).
And each psalm concludes with
a benediction of confidence that
God will do precisely in response
to the prayers of His people.

Lord, You Save & Ever Faithful:
(Jehovah Elohim Yeshua) I have
cried out day and night before You.
Let my prayer come before You;
Incline Your ear to my cry. For my
soul is full of troubles (Psa 88:1-3)
I will sing of the mercies of
the Lord forever; with my
mouth will I make known Your
faithfulness to all generations.
For I have said: Mercy shall be
built up forever; Your faithfulness
shall be established (Psa 89:1-2)
All heaven will praise your great
wonders Lord; myriads of angels
will praise you for Your Faithfulness.
For who in all the heaven can
compare with the Lord? (Ps 89:5-6)
My lovingkindness I will not
utterly take from him, nor allow
My faithfulness to fail. My covenant
I will not break, nor alter the word
that has gone out of My lips(33-34)

Lord Jehovah Elohim Yeshua, You
are the Lord God of my salvation.
You save not only eternally
but also in time and history.
By trusting in Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of my sins,
I have received eternal salvation.
And by trusting in You Jehovah
Elohim Yeshua in my daily life,
I see You saving me from needless
pain, confusion, waste & regret; for
You are the God who saves. Amen

Lord, Your Word assures us that
You God is eternal, that You are
Unfailingly Loving and Faithful.
And the testimonies of many
Christians and personal healing
attest to Your might & Faithfulness.
Lord, we also praise You for Your
wondrous miracles for You have
created all things in the heaven &
on earth. You’re worthy to receive
glory, honor and praise. Amen.

Lord, Your lovingkindness will not
fail; Your covenant will not break;
& Your promise will not be altered.
Lord of mercy, You’ve heard my cry;
Thru the storm You’re the beacon,
My song in the night.
In the shelter of Your wings,
Hear my heart’s reply,
Singing what a faithful God have I.
What a faithful God have I,
What a faithful God.
What a faithful God have I,
Faithful in every way. Amen.
