Exalted Above All?

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.

Walk in God’s Ways?

Walk in God’s Ways?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who walk in your ways. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Psalm 119 is the longest psalm.

The psalm is an acrostic, meaning there is one section for each of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

The law and the statues of the Lord are featured throughout Psalm 119.

Psalm 119:1-3 (ESV) is about those who are blessed.

“Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord!
Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!”

Do you walk in God’s ways? Or, have you gone astray? Praise God he is a forgiving God?

When you stumble, remember 1 John 1:9 (ESV).
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
