with Thanksgiving; Let us shout
joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the Lord is the great God,
and the great King (Ps 95:1-3).
Oh come, let us Worship
and bow down; let us kneel
before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God, and we are
the people of His pasture, and

Sing a new song to the Lord! Let
the whole earth Sing to the Lord!
Bless His Name. Each day proclaim
the Good News that He Saves…

needs much of these things. Amen.

Lord, draw me to Sing to You
and Bless Your Name every day.
Give me a joyful heart to tell others

Give me words Lord to share from
Your heart with those I will meet.
Reveal more of Yourself so that
I may praise You more and more.
For the Lord is Great and greatly
to Be Praised indeed! Amen.

God Shields & Cares For Us

Rev Stillman Martin had been invited
in 1904 to preach at a New York City
church a few hours away from home.
But his wife became ill that Sunday
morning, and he was about to
cancel his speaking engagement.
Then his young son spoke up:
Father, don’t you think that if God
wants you to preach today, He will
take care of mother while you are
away? Martin made the trip, and
when he returned home later that
day he found that his wife Civilla
had written this hymn in his absence
inspired by Psalm 91:1-2. That
evening he composed the music.

Lord, we will put Trust In You:
Those who live in the shelter
of the Most High will find rest
in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my
place of safety; he is my God,
and I trust him (Psa 91:1-2).
He shall cover you with His
feathers and under His wings
you shall take refuge. His truth
shall be your Shield…(Ps 91:4).
If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your
Shelter, no evil will conquer you…
He will Order His Angels to protect
you wherever you go (v9-11) Amen.

Lord, all Your promises are true
and Your children are held safe
in the palm of Your very hand.
We purpose to abide under the
Shadow of the Almighty, and trust
Your reliable refuge, safety shield
& ministering angels watch over us
and Protect us wherever we go.
We set our love on You, and we
can count Your loving care. Amen

Lord, Thank You that in the midst of
life’s storms, I have Your Protection
when I come and dwell with You.
In facing stormy situation, You are
greater than any worry I may have.
As a mother bird shelters her
young, You will cover me with
Your wings and Shelter me.
Keep me safe and be a Shield
and Shelter for me, for my life
is in Your very hands. Amen.

Lord, Thank You that in Your
mysterious and powerful ways,
You Send Your Angels around
us to protect Your people
in their journeys through life.
And so I look to You as my refuge
and shelter so that I will live in
freedom of the Spirit and not fear,
for God Will Take Care of me. Amen.

Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you…
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you…
God will take care of you.
Thru every day, o’er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you. Amen.

The Lord My Dwelling Place

Though the author of most of
Psalms 90-97 are unknown,
the Object of their worship is well
known: the God of eternity (Ps 90),
the God of protection (Ps 91),
the God of greatness (Ps 92),
the God of majesty (Ps 93),
the God of vengeance (Ps 94),
the God of salvation (Ps 95),
the God of glory (Ps 96) and
the God of holiness (Ps 97).

Lord, You are our Dwelling Place:
Lord, You have been our
Deelling Place in all generations.
Before the mountains were Created,
or ever You had formed the earth…
Even from everlasting to everlasting
You are God (Psalm 90:1-2).
Return O Lord! How long? And
have compassion on Your servants.
Satisfy us… with Your unfailing
love, so we may so sing for Joy
to the end of our lives (v13-14).
Let Yr work appear to Yr servants…
Let the beauty of the Lord our God
be upon us, and Establish the work
of our hands for us; Yes Establish
the work of our hands (v16-17).

Lord, You are our Deelling Place;
You Created all things, created us
and rule over all beings for all times.
And I remember the times that You
had healed, rescued and guided me.
Thanks for placing me in ministries;
and I pray that those who look to me
for guidance will be drawn to You.
Help me Lord to choose to serve You
& no other; for You’re worthy. Amen.

Lord, Thanks for Your promise
of unfailing love. Impress on
my heart a deeper awareness
of Your love and care for me.
Give me eyes to see all the ways
You express love to me each day.
Forgive me for seeking satisfaction
in material things and in work.
And I pray that You Lord will
become my greatest source
of Satisfaction and Joy. Amen.

Almighty God, I pray You would
bless my work and Establish it.
I commit all my ministries so that
they may be used for Your glory.
Give me strength to accomplish
what I must do each day, and
the wisdom & ability to do it well.
Take charge Lord of the details
so that it will find favour with
others and be successful. Amen.

God Is My Strength & Shelter

The modern hymn Precious Lord
Take My Hand was written by black
American Thomas Dorsey, who
started the Gospel genré and is his
greatest composition of 400 songs.
Thomas Dorsey had religion and
music in his blood; born 1899, the
son of a minister & a piano teacher.
He became a professional musician
in 1924 & the following year took up
the post of Musical Director at the
Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago.
In August 1932, his wife died during
childbirth and his newborn son died
the following day. Dorsey’s faith took
a severe blow: “I felt God had done
me injustice. I don’t want to serve
Him or write gospel songs. I just
want to go back to the jazz world.”
In the midst of despair, a friend
visited him and left him alone with
a piano. “I found myself playing
a melody and words of the gospel
song Precious Lord just fall into
place,” inspired also by Psalm 73.

Lord, You’re My Strength & Shelter:
I am continually with You; You hold
me by my right hand. You will guide
me with Your counsel, and (then)
receive me to glory (Ps 73:23-24)
Whom have I in heaven but You?
I desire You more than anything
on earth. My health may fail and
my spirit may grow weak, but God
remains the Strength of My Heart;
He is mine forever (Ps 73:25-26).
But as for me, how good it is to
Be Near God! I have made the
Sovereign Lord my Shelter, and
I will tell everyone about the
wonderful things You do (v28).

Lord, You are the Strength of
my heart, and deep inside I know
I can rely on You in any situation.
Although I may face threats to
health, finance, safety & security
in this world, but that isn’t my life
for You are. O Sovereign Lord,
Be Near Me! Help me abide in You
and to stay anchored in You. Amen.

Lord,by faith I make You my Shelter.
I also accept Your Presence and
receive all the blessings You offer.
Grow my faith Lord to be as big
as the gifts You want to give.
Having experienced Your healings
several times, I will declare what
wonderful things You do for me.
I love and adore You, for You are
more precious than anything. Amen

Father, You are with me and are
Holding My Hand. I don’t always feel
it but I depend on Your presence.
Remind me Your eyes are on me and
that You are working on my behalf…
Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn.
Through the storm, thru the night
Lead me on to the light
Take My Hand, Precious Lord
Lead me home… Amen & amen.

Hearing God through His Words

Psalms Book Three mainly written
by Asaph and his descendants
is similar to the book of Leviticus.
Just as Leviticus discusses the
tabernacle and God’s holiness,
many of these psalms discuss the
temple and God’s enthronement.
Because God is almighty, we
can turn to Him for deliverance.
These psalms praise God because
He is holy, and His perfect holiness
deserve our worship & reverence.

On Monday, we learn from Ps 73
that God Is My Strength & Shelter.
On Tuesday, we learn from Ps 77
that God Does Works of Wonder.
On Wed, we learn from Psalm 78
that God Will Provide Our Needs.
On Thu we learn from Ps 81 that
God Speaks, Let’s Listen & Follow.
On Friday, we learn from Psalm 84
that God Blesses & Satisfies Us.
On Saturday, we learn from Ps 89
that God Offers His Faithfulness.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Hear You:
For You are our Strength & Shelter
and that You Do Works of Wonder.
For You Will Provide Our Needs
and that You Bless and Satisfy us.
For You Offer Us Your Faithfulness
and Speak to us; so we’ll purpose
to Listen to You & Follow You. Amen
