Summer with the Psalms
Psalm 60 Tuesday 30th July
“O God, You have rejected us and cast us off. You have broken [down our defenses and scattered] us; You have been angry; O restore us and turn again to us. You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its rifts, for it shakes and totters. You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger and fall. You have set up a banner for those who fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder—a banner to shield them from attack], A banner that may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. That Your beloved ones may be rescued, Save with Your right hand and answer us. God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]: “I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east]. “Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter. “Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe [in triumph]; Over Philistia I raise the shout [of victory].” Who will bring me into the besieged city [of Petra]? Who will lead me to Edom? Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go out with our armies? Give us help against the enemy, For the help of man is worthless (ineffectual, without purpose). Through God we will have victory, For He will trample down our enemies.”
Psalms 60:1-12 AMP
Psalm Reflection and Prayer
Suffering for Christ may not seem like a position we consider ourselves in Western civilized society. In the East martyrdom, persecution and oppression is still rife amongst many parts of the world where Christianity is not legally allowed to be freely practiced. Yet, as Christians in the West we get to choose our Churches, Gospel radio stations and playlists without any real challenge or opposition. In fact, we truly are blessed to be able to be practicing Christians in the way we have access to the Bible, translations and scripture more than ever before.
Indeed, we are free, given so many alternative choices and most likely more privileged than more than the rest of the worlds population. This is why we must testify to the Holy Spirit, this is why it’s important to share our faith and this is why we are called to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Without doubt, the blessing of being a believer of Jesus Christ and in community with others is greater than any other blessing in life.
We are called, therefore, the speak freely, openly and unapologetically about our faith. Perhaps you feel awkward when you here the street preacher screaming on 42nd street on NYC, or your overly zealous friend who gives tracks to everyone they see on the side of the street or perhaps you just feel ill equipped to share the message of Good News of Jesus Christ. Lets share the inheritance and blessing of the Holy Spirit with others as we explore the opportunity to share our faith in Jesus name. Amen
Let us Pray…
Help us Lord to have the faith, boldness and courage to share our faith with others. Whether via track, bible verse or devotion and help us to be assured that you are more than enough for us in and through your Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
