Title: A David Psalm.

Scriptures: Psalm 144:1 - 15

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

What an amazing God we have!  Truly, He is glorious and gracious and truly magnificent at all times.  I am truly truly grateful and in awe of His glory and love for us each day!  I have been struggling for a task that was given to me by one of my bosses and I was clearly losing sleep and physically, it literally drained me.  The task was simple, to transcribe an audio file but it was really a huge struggle for me especially that i have loss a little bit of my hearing in my left ear due to wearing headset for years when I was working in the call center.  This experienced I had, may not be as intense as David's life's experienced during his time when he wrote Psalm 144.  It is nothing compared to what he was going through but I know for sure, I felt the struggle and the defeat.  Last night at 11pm, I felt like I am losing hope in finishing the task.  I was almost at the end of the audio but i just can’t seem to understand what the speaker is saying anymore. So I was feeling hopeless and thought that maybe i will not be able to finish the task on time.  The deadline was today.  But God is good!  I felt every word David wrote in Psalm 144 to me in finishing the audio transcription task I had.  I felt God as my mountain at those times when I patiently had to rewind, slows down and listen in carefully over and over again until I got every word the speaker said in that audio file.  I felt him rescuing me by opening my ears enough to hear the words.  I know, God had something to do with that task, how He empowered me to complete it.  And in the end I can ask the same, why does God care?  Why does He bother with me at all?  With this menial task I had?  Yet, He took the time to guide me, help me and ultimately, rescued me from this task.  Hallelujah!  So I will sing a new song to Him, as a thanksgiving for His wonderful love.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, wonderful God and magnificent Savior.  I am truly blessed to have You in my life.  Because despite of the challenges that I face or have to face, I know I am not alone.  And yes there will be struggles, there will tiring days and sleepless nights, but I know You will step down and help me through it every time.  Hallelujah!  Glory to Your Name Lord.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
