Your Word Is Firmly Fixed!

Your Word Is Firmly Fixed!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. In Jesus name, amen.

God’s word and the heavens are intertwined in Scripture. For example, Luke 16:17 (ESV) says,

“But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.”

Psalm 119:89 (ESV) tells us,

“Forever, O Lord, your word
is firmly fixed in the heavens.
Your faithfulness endures to all generations;
you have established the earth, and it stands fast.”

Take a look at a sunrise, a sunset, or a night sky. Prayer is simply talking to God, so pray.

Ask him to reveal himself. Expect his reply.

At Night!

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.

Meditate On All The Lord Has Done?

Meditate On All The Lord Has Done?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who meditate on all you have done. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Joshua 1:8 (ESV) says,

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

In Psalm 143:1-6 (ESV) the psalmist, David, is pleading with God for mercy and refers to meditating.

“Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.

For the enemy has pursued my soul;
he has crushed my life to the ground;
he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
Therefore my spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.

I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah”

Ever feel like David? Has the enemy pursued your soul? Has he crushed your life to the ground? Has he made you sit in darkness like those long dead? Respond as David did. Meditate. Ponder the works of God’s hands.

In The Night?

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. They often grow in the night. Nighttime can be especially terrifying for some people. Even believers can be overwhelmed at times.

In Psalm 119:54-56 (ESV) we learn the 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. If there is a need to confess, do so. Pray. Follow God’s statues, laws, and precepts. Be aware of God’s blessings. Especially in the dark of night.

Watches of the Night?

Watches of the Night?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who meditate on you in the watches of the night. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever have a hard time falling asleep? When it happens again, meditate on God and his word.

Here is how the night was divided in Bible times. “Nighttime in Scripture is divided into four three-hour periods called ‘watches.’ In Mark 13:35 they are all four mentioned; namely, ‘even,’ ‘midnight,’ ‘cockcrowing,’ and ‘morning.’ According to our way of reckoning time, ‘even,’ or the evening watch, is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.; the midnight watch, from 9 p.m. to midnight; cockcrowing, from 12 M to 3 a.m., and morning watch, from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.” (https://bibletruthpublishers.com/the-night-watches-in-scripture/f-f-s/christian-truth-volume-18/la53020)

David, the psalmist, in Psalm 63:5-7 (ESV) shows his willingness to praise, meditate, and sing.

“My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.”

Next time you find yourself awake in the middle of the night, pause. Thank the Lord for being able to meditate on him and his holy and inspired word.
