Summer with the Psalms
Psalm 48 Thursday 18 July
“Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain. Beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King. God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress. When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together, they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror. Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labor. You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind. As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the Lord Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever. Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation. For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.”
Psalms 48:1-14 NIV
Psalm Reflection & Prayer
Theologian Eberhrd Arnold comments: “Have the patience and courage to begin again anew each day, and trust in God’s help; his mercy is new every morning. Then you will understand that life is always a matter of becoming or growing, and that you must always look forward to the greater things. “
Even though you stand in battle with dark powers, the victory will be yours, since in Christ every evil is overcome. We are all witnesses of Gods love and we get to share it in equal measure. None of us have to hide Jesus like a secret we get to his Saints, we get to share him and get to share salvation to all peoples! The Acts of the Apostles tells us this!
Equal Measure of Gods Love is available to us!
“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.” Acts 2:32-33 NIV
Let us Praise God today for what he has done, will do and continue to do in our lifetimes. Let us be expectant for God to show up and deliver on his promises in our life and other people’s life equally as we seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!
Prayer
Father God thank you for today. Please forgive us our sins, wash us and cleanse us of all evil and leave us without blemish. Be with us this day and everyday in Jesus name. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
