Know Him

Psalm 71

This psalm seems to be an old man reflecting on what God has done for him and giving thanks for all. We too, need to find time to sit down and think about what God has done for us, then we will see the consistency of His grace, trust Him for the future and share with others the benefits of following Him.

This psalmist was thus able to keep his hope in the Lord, even when his enemies attacked him, or when circumstances were against him. Because he remembered God's grace and that it will be with him forever.

From an audio sermon i just listened to: When you don't have hope, you dont have faith. Without faith, you cant please God. And you will not see His power revealed in your life. Only when you believe it, then can you see it. Don't focus on your circumstances and what you cannot do, focus on God, and you will see His power coming through in your life.

Psalm 72

Leaders should rule with righteousness and justice. This psalm was written by solomon as a prayer for his son to be able to rule the nation justly and wisely. So this psalm was written about a perfect king whom solomon wanted his son to become. But we see that this psalm also describes Jesus, the perfect King. A King who will be feared by all, who nourishes His people so abundantly that they flourish. He rules all over the earth, all will bow down to Him and serve Him. His enemies will be defeated.

He cares for the needy, afflicted and weak because they are precious to Him. We too should love and help these people. Talking about becoming like Jesus ah...

This psalm gives a clear picture of God, vs 1-4: He is just and righteous. vs 5-10: He is glorious and blessed. vs 12-15: He is loving and compassionate. vs 16-19: He is everlasting God and wonderful savior. Question: How you experienced and know God in all these aspect? Ask of Him to show you more of Himself today, so that you will get to know Him better.
