Title: A David Psalm.

Scriptures: Psalm 143:1 - 12

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Another beautiful psalm from David.  A king pleading to God to be saved.  Hear the precious words of David, his cry out to God.  We too need to cry out to God as if He is the only answer to our salvation because He truly is.  What I love about what David wrote here is the fact that he emphasized on the truth that God is famous for His answers!  So the Lord delights in answering our prayers because He becomes famous of it.  He is praise and worship because of His answers to us.  And although, the enemies are hunting us down, stomping us and burying us in the dungeon, we can be assured that our Lord is the God who answers prayers.  In a hopeless times, we ought to remember like David who is feeling despair and his spirit starting to drain away... we ought to remember and ponder the ways God worked or all the things He has done for us.  We ought to remember His goodness and love and work in our lives.  He will not ignore us.  Because if He does...then that is definitely the end of us.  Let us hope and seek God like David who wants to hear God's voice the moment he wakes up and before he goes to sleep at night.  Do not hesitate for God to point out our mistakes so we can undo and correct what we have done wrong.  Let us seek God's teaching and leading so we may walk the path to Him.  In the end, I love how David ended it.  He was talking to God and said, "keep your reputation, God - give me life!" God's reputation is He is the God who answers and He has kept His reputation intact so far.  Hallelujah!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, Gracious and loving God.  I am amazed and grateful to know that You are the God who answers.  Well, I already know this before but with David affirming it, confirming that this is somehow Your reputation, I know that You will never ignore us.  Thank You Jesus.  Lord may You be the first person I hear in the morning and the last person I talk to in the night.  Help me Lord in times that i'm feeling down or hopeless or tired.  Like this past few days, I feel like I am lacking rest (physically).  Lord rescue me from this too deep of a situation.  I am blessed to have more jobs and if I can be a blessing then I would like to do so.  Please show me the way and guide me, let me know what I need to do in settling everything in my work (all work).  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
