At Night!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who remember your name in the night and keep your law. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Fear. Anxiety. Worry. Nighttime can be especially terrifying for some people. Even believers can be overwhelmed at times.

In Psalm 119:54-56 (ESV) we learn the psalmist thinks about the Lord at night.

“Your statutes have been my songs
in the house of my sojourning.
I remember your name in the night, O Lord,
and keep your law.
This blessing has fallen to me,
that I have kept your precepts.”

If you get overwhelmed in the night, remember the Lord is with you.

Need to confess? Do so. Pray. Follow God’s statues, laws, and precepts. Think of God’s blessings.

Palm Sunday: He Comes in the Name of the Lord!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 118:26 (ESV) says,

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We bless you from the house of the Lord.”

The words in the first part of the verse appear several times in the New Testament. Palm Sunday the phrase was used together with shouts of “Hosanna.” (See Matthew 21:9 and Mark 11:9).

Luke 19:38 (ESV) says,

“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

John 12:13 and Luke 13:35 also use Psalm 118:26.

Imagine being on the road into Jerusalem when Jesus is welcomed by the crowds shouting the words of Psalm 118:26. Join with them now, and say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Exalted Above All?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God’s name and his word have been exalted above all. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 138 is a Psalm of David. David gives a clear declaration of thanks, praise and worship. David references bowing down toward God’s holy temple. The psalm is personal. David had a personal relationship with God. When David called, God answered him.

Psalm 138:1-3 (ESV) says,

“I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.”

May your conversation with God allow the strength of your soul to be so increased.
