Psalm 89 ~ O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon You

 

 

Psalm 89

 Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,

    for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my life, for I am godly;

    save your servant, who trusts in You—You are my God.

3 Be gracious to me, O Lord,

    for to You do I cry all the day.

4 Gladden the soul of your servant,

    for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,

    abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon You.

6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;

    listen to my plea for grace.

7 In the day of my trouble I call upon You,

    for You answer me.

8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord,

    nor are there any Works like Yours.

9 All the nations You have made shall come

    and worship before You, O Lord,

    and shall glorify Your Name.

10 For You are great and do wondrous things;

   You alone are God.

11 Teach me Your Way, O Lord,

    that I may walk in your truth;

    unite my heart to fear Your Name.

12 I give thanks to You, O Lord my God, 

with my whole heart,

    and I will glorify Your Name forever.

13 For great is Your steadfast Love toward me;

   You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14 O God, insolent men have risen up against me;

    a band of ruthless men seeks my life,

    and they do not set You before them.

15 But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;

    give Your strength to your servant,

    and save the son of Your maidservant.

17 Show me a sign of your favor,

    that those who hate me may see and be put to shame

    because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

Edward bounced back from aspiration during his Colon Scope. Thank You, Lord. And thank you for your prayers for Edward.  He went out the next day to Disc Golf and today. Today, the waters were stirred indeed. The men saw rain and lighting. Louisiana has been so dry and it rained. We can't ignore seeing mildly twice in a week. And lightning today.  Conroe, Texas is without power tonight for 3 hours, which cannot be pleasant in this heat. 

Psalm 65:2

O You who hear prayer,

To You all men come.  

Psalm 65 and Psalm 86 make a point of saying many men come to pray. Mankind and nations comes to ask God their prayers. Because... we see prayer is answered. 

And we will boldly and with confidence go before the Lord in times of trouble. To ask and seek, where God says He will gift an answer. We will receive. 

If we are going to worry about Lightning in Rain. Or trees in high wind from drought, to remain strong. If the electricity goes off for hours, we have received the opportunity to pray. 

The Lord favors us. The drought is late in the summer, as the temperatures cool at night a little lower. And the water in the rivers, creeks, lakes and Gulf of Mexico will produce a reaction to the temperature change to allow the High Pressure to move, as water evaporates, chills and is warmed.  We have reached a season to Pray for the Favor of God.

Jacob asked to marry Leah. He didn't ask for Rachel. Nor their maids. Suddenly, Jacob had 12 sons to feed and many wives and concubines. And God provided his family and made provisions. Laban, his father-in-law, wondered if the spotted sheep, Jacob's sheep, were given advantages and Jacob was cheating Laban. Of course, Laban would worry about this, he was habitually cheating a cheater. 

How many more stories of the Bible are like Oliver Twist asking for more, please?

1 Samuel 1:10

In her deep anguish 

Hannah prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly. 

1 Samuel 2:1

Then Hannah prayed and said: 

"My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. 

My mouth boasts over my enemies, 

for I delight in your deliverance."

And Hannah began to have many more children.

Abba, Father,

May the Lord make you increase 

and abound in love for one another and for all, 

as we do for you, 

so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness 

before our God and Father, 

at the coming of our Lord Jesus 

with all His saints.

  

Now may the God of peace 

who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, 

the great shepherd of the sheep, 

by the blood of the eternal covenant, 

equip you with everything good that you may do His Will, 

working in us that which is pleasing 

in His sight, 

Grateful today, Edward's June cancelled, lower intestine twist,

the Dr Visit has been successful because of healing! Grateful, Edward

has bounced back from aspiration during anesthesia.

Your Son, Jesus, taught us He is the Lord of

the storm and the wind.

Yours is the Universe upheld by Your Word.

Yours is the Power.

Yours is the Glory.

Your Heavens above

Rain down upon us

in Jesus' Righteousness and Mercy,

we pray.

Let the clouds shower down upon

the dry and thirsty land.

Let the earth open wide

for gentle rain, and not the storm,

we pray.

Let Your Grace and Salvation

be abundant life to

the wildlife and forests,

the farmers

and the people.

Let Your Mercy and Goodness

help the righteous in Hope

and Faith

to flourish in Your Works.

Lord, You have Created

Your Good

Good

Good

Creation.

Through Jesus Christ, 

to whom be glory forever and ever. 

Amen.
