Psalm 4 ~ Glad news of deliverance

 

Psalm 4

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!

    You have given me relief when I was in distress.

    Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!

2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame?

    How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah

3 But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;

    the Lord hears when I call to him.

4 Be angry, and do not sin;

    ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah

5 Offer right sacrifices,

    and put your trust in the Lord.

6 There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?

    Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”

7 You have put more joy in my heart

    than they have when their grain and wine abound.

8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep;

    for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

One of the reasons David is given glory from God, David's life explains the Messiah is not

an earthly king. Jesus was asked by John and James to do as Elijah did, and call down fire from Heaven to defeat enemies.  Jesus tells us He is a Light to the nations. Light of the world. Light of mankind.

And as David's life progresses, his kingdom is a glimpse we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Psalm 40

I waited patiently for the Lord;

    he inclined to me and heard my cry.

He drew me up from the pit of destruction,

    out of the miry bog,

and set my feet upon a rock,

    making my steps secure.

He put a new song in my mouth,

    a song of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear,

    and put their trust in the Lord.

Blessed is the man who makes

    the Lord his trust,

who does not turn to the proud,

    to those who go astray after a lie!

You have multiplied, O Lord my God,

    your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us;

    none can compare with you!

I will proclaim and tell of them,

    yet they are more than can be told.

In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,

    but you have given me an open ear.

Burnt offering and sin offering

    you have not required.

Then I said, “Behold, I have come;

    in the scroll of the book it is written of me:

I delight to do your will, O my God;

    your law is within my heart.”

I have told the glad news of deliverance

    in the great congregation;

behold, I have not restrained my lips,

    as you know, O Lord.

I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;

    I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;

I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness

    from the great congregation.

As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain

    your mercy from me;

your steadfast love and your faithfulness will

    ever preserve me!

For evils have encompassed me

    beyond number;

my iniquities have overtaken me,

    and I cannot see;

they are more than the hairs of my head;

    my heart fails me.

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me!

    O Lord, make haste to help me!

Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether

    who seek to snatch away my life;

let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

    who delight in my hurt!

Let those be appalled because of their shame

    who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”

But may all who seek you

    rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who love your salvation

    say continually, “Great is the Lord!”

As for me, I am poor and needy,

    but the Lord takes thought for me.

You are my help and my deliverer;

    do not delay, O my God

Rise

Matthew 27:63

 “Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, 

‘After three days I will rise.’

Matthew 27:64 

Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day,

 lest his disciples go and steal him away 

and tell the people, 

‘He has risen from the dead,’

 and the last fraud will be worse than the first.”

Matthew 28:6 

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. 

Come, see the place where he lay.

Matthew 28:7 

Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead,

 and behold, 

He is going before you to Galilee; 

there you will see him. 

See, I have told you.”

"Rise" is Personal, Truth and of God

Matthew 17:7

Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.”

Matthew 9:5

For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?

Luke 17:19

And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

John 11:23

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

Luke 7 we will all know.

13When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said, “Do not weep.” 

14 Then He went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. “Young man,”

 He said, “I tell you, rise up!” 

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak! 

Then Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Abba, Father,

We pray for Your Willingness to Bless us 

and 

we will Rise to Your Way, Life and Truth.

We pray to rise to shine for Your Glory.

We pray to have Love Rise to lift the ones we Love to Your Plan and Path.

We pray for our Nation to Rise to Your Plan and Your Love in trusting You.

We pray for Your Word to Rise to heal in Your healing.

And we would cover ourselves in Your Blessings to be covered 

in the Name of Jesus Christ, 

Your Son.

Amen.
