BibleGateway.com Psalm 45
Verse 4
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.
Let us never forget the majesty of our Lord. The one thing we should desire most is Christ's return. We should long for the day where he rides forth victoriously and the nations will fall beneath his feet (v5).
We desire this not to see our own enemies trampled and defeated. We look for this because of the greatness of the Lord's Glory. It will be more than enough to keep us occupied for eternity. You will never grow tired of God's glory. Seeing it everyday is the essence of being with him in heaven. After 1 million years it will seem to have been just a minute and you will only want to be with him forever and ever.

Psalm 44
BibleGateway.com Psalm 44
How do we reconcile the fact that God who is sovereign allows his people to suffer. Even the people that have not forgotten His name(v17)?
When you read all the bad that happened to these people you think. That is what they deserve for accepting false god's and worshiping idols. They had not (v20).
Verse 22 shines some light on the picture. For the sake of the Lord, we face death all day long. Has God really rejected His people? Is there another explanation?
Isaiah 53
In Isaiah 53 we see that whoever this is about is despised, smitten, afflicted, pierced, crushed, chastened, scourged, oppressed, afflicted again, led to slaughter, oppressed again, and judged.
It says the Lord was pleased to crush him. God allowed Jesus to receive every single one of these things, to the letter. Then in verse 10 it says the Lord was pleased? God did not have to come and die on this earth for you. He wanted to because it pleased him. God is happy in His name and he is happy to do good to you. In the death of Jesus both of these occurred. He was able to make you right with himself. You no longer owe a wage for your sin. This is good beyond your wildest dream (and that isn't even the best part). God glorified his own name by remaining just! The price was death, and the most precious of lives was taken for His name.
So when you think that God is unfair to allow suffering to occur on His children. Think of the suffering he cause on Jesus and rejoice that you may be counted worthy to experience the same things as our treasured Jesus (1 Peter 4:13).
Romans 8:36-39
If there were not things trying to peel us out of God's own hand how would he be glorified. God uses the suffering to "overwhelmingly conquer" (v37 NASB) through Him. This means when we suffer and even though God allows it we cannot lose. It isn't even going to extra innings. It will not be close. He has us in his hand no matter what. Whether you suffer or not is not up to how you perform! You can do good and get led off to slaughter like in Psalm 44 or do bad like in Jeremiah 12. Be joyful that you are the Lords and if you suffer he is doing it to reflect his own glory off of you. You will come out of this or die trying, like Paul said, "to live is Christ and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21)."

Lord, why do I so easily call on you when things are going wrong. Yet I forget you when you are providing the things that makes life bearable. When life is going well I start to think I am worth it all. Lord please forgive me for this. Let me thank you daily no matter what the conditions.
Lord make my soul praise you in the morning and in the day and in the evening. You are amazing and you have given me real life!

Psalm 42
BibleGateway.com Psalm 42
Is it right to look introspectively at yourself? What do you see?
Ask, why are you so downcast, O my soul?
Why?
My enemies seem to triumph. My life is full of discontent and bad feelings. Clutter and chaos crowd into my life when I seek order. Complacency crushes my desire for spontaneity.
I lack the discipline necessary to get where I most desire. My drive does not push as far as I want. The trap of this life holds me. My world is small, and my actions are insignificant. The daily grind conforms me to the American rut.
BUT, put your hope in God. I WILL yet praise him, my saviour and my God. Lord this soul is crushed, I will be weak so you will be strong. Be my joy. The waves have washed over me. I can hold to nothing else. Why must I be oppressed by the enemy LORD?
Save me, hold me, I want to see your face Lord Jesus. This flesh is rotting on me. Please God take it and make it alive. I want to finish this now and see what you have for eternity.
I will yet praise him. I will yet praise him...

What does it mean to have regard for the weak?
Lord, have mercy on me. I often scoff at the weak around me. I get tired of people that may not be as fortunate as me. I grumble when they are slow in the store. I shake when they do something bad on the road. Lord forgive my lack of mercy. Teach me to love the people you have put in my life the way you love them. Thank you Jesus for your final triumph. No longer will any enemy of mine win. In the end all will say Christ is Lord!

from the great assembly.
Lord give me the chance this week to proclaim what you have done in my life. You have put your righteousness in my heart. I will not be silent. I will cry out in joy for my soul has been made alive! I was once dead and now I am alive. Like Lazurus, Jesus called my name and I came forth from the pit. Lord thank you for your Son. May your name be praised for ever. You are awesome God. You reign over all creation and my heart cries out for your presence here. Lord come. Hear my cry and come.

6 Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro:
He bustles about, but only in vain;
he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
Lord, you are my strength. My hope is in you. I have never been able to do what you want from me. I depend solely on you. My life is quick Lord, please help me to do here what I can to glorify your name. For I have eternity in my furture. Your grace has allowed me to live with you forever. Still there are ones here that need you more than I need comfort and treasure in this life. Let me do all I can, with all I have, for as long as you give me days here on earth.

Psalm 38
BibleGateway.com Psalm 38
Our sin is oppressive. As Christians when we sin we are disciplined like sons. The hand of God is heavy. Still you punish your sons to instill character in them. God punishes his sons to put his character in them. We are feeble and utterly crushed (v. 8). When are foot slips it also give our enemies a chance to pounce upon us. Defame our faith. God is not far during these times. Even when it seems impossible to live through what God is doing in my life, I know when I look at him it is his love that will strengthen me and his mercy that will keep me from being put out of his presence forever.
Some may say, God punished Jesus to take the place for our sin. It is true, our sin is paid for but our consequences for actions on this earth are not removed. If you steal, you will be punished. God has forgiven you and adopted you as a son. Given you an inheritance beyond all comprehension. That is why it is so ridiculous to still be caught up in sin when you are a child of God. It still happens because we look to the world around us to supply what only God can. We look for satisfaction in the wrong places. We look for relationship in the wrong way. Make Christ your satisfaction. Make Christ your first love! Make Christ Lord of all your life! When you ignore him and do what you want you put yourself on the throne of God. He won't stand for it. Be glad for his mercy. Thankful for his grace. Do not cheapen the faith he has established. Forsake the way of the world. Treasure Jesus above all.

Trust in the LORD and you will have hope and a future. Turn from evil and do good. How do you do this?
It does not seem like we are in a land where the righteous prosper and the wicked perish. All around us the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer. LORD hear our call, bring your Kingdom to this earth. destroy the wicked and give to your righteous people all the land.
We must understand we as Christians are between two kingdoms. We physically live in the kingdom of darkness, but our citizenship is in the Kingdom of the LORD. Our souls cry out to be there. To have our new bodies that are perfected and glorified. We are to desire Christ alone. In this world we seem caught in a swampy mess of wickedness. Can we ever escape? Hope in the LORD. The day where the righteous will prosper and the wicked will perish is coming in his time.

Do you think being with God will be boring? When finally you come into the presence of the Almight God will you think that you will miss your Big Screen TV and Surround Sound Theatre room? If you for one second would trade these things for the presense of the LORD you will know what your true god is.
His unfailing love is priceless. We will feast in the abundace of his house. Think for a second. God is the creator of all things. He owns all things. So when you picture a feast of abundance at God's table it is too small. Whatever you can think of in your head is too small. Think of the best thing you can imagine. God's abundace will put that to shame.
Now imagine trying to drink a river. God's delights are like a river according to verse 8. You will drink enough to be full. Will the river ever look empty?

Psalm 35
BibleGateway.com Psalm 35
This Psalm reminds me that no matter how much I pray or do for the lost in this world they will always look for my failure. We can serve those around us, love them, feed them and clothe them. Still the lost will be lost. They will rejoice at the suffering of God's people. There will be people in this world that will never come to Christ. You will love them and show them Christ your whole life. They will always remain lost. It is because what we do will not change their hearts. We have to love them no matter what. God says that we will be known by our love. Part of that is we will know everyone else by their lack of love. Only Christians can serve a people group for a lifetime with no results and still have hope. Our hope and joy does not come from the reactions of this fallen world. We have hope in Christ, and our joy is to see His will done. So when the unfair world comes after you. Pray to God for joy that his will is perfect.

We want to praise God at all times. How can we do that?
Always have his name on your lips. Talk about Jesus like he really is the most important thing in your life. You know people that have dogs talk about them all the time. "My puppy did can sit and run now." People with kids are even worse. Their lives revolve around these central things in their lives. You know this becuase it is all they talk about.
Why can't our relationship with God be the same? "Today, God loves me even though I don't deserve it." OR "Did you know that Jesus healed a woman that just touched his robe?" Always brag on Christ and Christ alone. He has done enought awesome things for you to talk about for the rest of your life. Today, brag on Jesus to someone else. Keep his name and his deeds on your lips.

Psalm 33
BibleGateway.com Psalm 33
God has his own way of doing things. Often we have our own plans. Only our God would send his Son to suffer and die in order to take the place for the suffering and death we were to experience as the just punishment for our sinfulness.
Despite all the the strength of anything you can find here on earth. It cannot save you. Every scheme and plan to get to God will fail. God will thwart their purposes.
Since the LORD is the creator and author of everything he alone sets the rules for reconciliation. The way of the LORD will frustrate the wisdom of this world. To me, it all makes such perfect sense it is nearly impossible to fathom anyone rejecting Christ. Until you think about how it is not by my own understanding that I accept and have faith in Christ. God did a miracle inside of me that enabled me to understand clearly what Jesus has done for me. Every non-believer out there will never understand the Gospel until God transforms their hearts. So pray with me that God will do a miracle in hearts of those around us. It is not a difficult task for Him.
My prayer:
Lord open the eyes and the hearts of the people in China. Foil the plans of the nation, you give the place of all governments. Remove the government of China and North Korea for the glory of your name so that your children in those places will come to know you today. Thank you Lord for your sovereign will. Amen.

It is hard to admit your sin. The oppression of sin is like the heat of summer beating down on you. It takes all your energy. When you confess your transgressions and uncover your iniquity. The LORD forgives you. You stand and sing, the righteous are rejoicing!
Daily I need to remember the oppression I from which I have been freed. It gives us cause for joy. Even more we are able to one day see the face of the savior. Christ is our treasure and we will soon dance for eternity in the joy of our LORD.
Do you feel oppressed right now? Ask God to reveal your iniquity. Confess to him you sin and you don't even know it. Ask him to keep teaching you his ways. He will not leave you lonely.

Hope in the LORD.
Where is your hope? In what things do you trust your future?
Trust in the LORD everyone. What does it mean to trust in Him? The LORD Jesus gives us all things. Without him you have nothing. Every breath that you take comes from him. The question is this how can you NOT trust the LORD? The biggest thing is at one point in this world your breath will cease. Your time here on the earth is limited. Do you trust that Jesus suffered and died and rose from the dead so that you can be reconciled to God? So when you no longer receive your undeserved life on this earth will you be with Christ for eternity because of the Grace of God. If you do not put your trust in him the result will be horrible. Hell is real and without him we all deserve to be there right now! Not just when we die. We deserve to be forever separated from God right now. Trusting in him gives you the only real security on this planet. The only comfort is in the arms of Christ. Run to him. Run to him now. The time is right.

The LORD bring me my joy. Without him my joy is nothing. The time of mourning the time of suffering and not being in our full joy in Christ's presence is only temporary. The LORD favors and loves us for His own glory. We reflect the praise that only God deserves. We will one day dance with joy in praise of our LORD. We cannot be silent. When our joy is real we have to let it out. If we don't the rocks will cry out in our place. The LORD is glorious and we should praise him above all things.

The root of sin to to take God out of his rightful place. Give him the glory due his name. We often let things get between us and God. We fall down and call glory to our jobs, cars, houses, and children. As we see here God's voice can rock the world. He can break apart entire forests.
Have a picture of God on the throne. He alone is there and deserves to be. You cannot put anything else there and still call God your Lord.

I deserve to be dragged away with the wicked, to be repayed for my deeds. You would tear me down and never build me up again. Praise you LORD for all you have done to make me right with you. I could not do it on my own. Your mercy is great and you are my strength.
