Deliver Us From Evil (Psalm 144:9-15)

Far too many people in this fallen world are weighed down from institutional sin.

I will sing a new song to you, God.    I will sing praises to you on a ten-stringed harp,        to you—the one who gives saving help to rulers,        and who rescues his servant David from the evil sword.Rescue me and deliver me from the power of strangers,        whose mouths speak lies,        and whose strong hand is a strong hand of deception,    so that our sons can grow up fully, in their…

Verse of the Day - Psalms 18:2

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

Taste and See that the LORD is Good

God will I bless all times; his praise my mouth shall still express.

My soul shall boast in God: the meek shall hear with joyfulness.

Extol the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, he heard, and did me from all fears deliver.

They look'd to him, and lighten'd were: not shamed were their faces.

This poor man cry'd, God heard, and sav'd him from all his distresses.

The angel of the Lord encamps, and round encompasseth All those about that do him fear, and them delivereth.

O taste and see that God is good: who trusts in him is bless'd.

Fear God his saints: none that him fear shall be with want oppress'd.

The lions young may hungry be, and they may lack their food: But they that truly seek the Lord shall not lack any good.

O children, hither do ye come, and unto me give ear; I shall you teach to understand how ye the Lord should fear. — Psalm 34:1-11 | Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650) The Metrical Psalter, © British and Foreign Bible Society 2015.

Won't He Do It

Psalms 144:1-2 There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me; it’s in God alone who gives me strength for the battle. He’s my shelter of love and my fortress of faith, who wraps himself around me as a secure shield. I hide myself in this one who subdues enemies before me. Get A Kingdom Perspective Don’t quit. You are seeing things through the eyes of a worldly viewpoint. God is right…

[wisdomfish]

Like the psalmists, we can cry out for deliverance and relief while simultaneously trusting God to work through our circumstances. We can be “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” as Paul wrote (2 Cor. 6:10) because we’re trusting not in our ability to spin gold from the ashes, but in the God who holds each of us in his careful, kind, and sovereign hands.

"Have mercy on me God, have mercy on me. In you I seek refuge. In the shadow of your wings I seek refuge till harm pass by. I call to God Most High to God who provides for me. May God send help from Heaven to save me, shame those who trample upon me. May God send fidelity and mercy." - PSALM 57

"SYMPTOMS OF DEMONIC OPPRESSION"

The subject of mental illness is very controversial in Christian circles. Inside the extreme schools of thought we find balance and a scriptural viewpoint. First, let me say clearly, all mental illness is NOT the result of demonic attack. Further, good psychological care from Christian professionals is vital and in order when an individual is struggling. Also, professionally administered…

#DailyDevotion Call Upon The LORD To Be Your Help & Deliverance

#DailyDevotion Call Upon The LORD To Be Your Help & Deliverance Psalm 70 Come quickly, O God, to rescue me, O LORD, to help me. Such is our cry when something is going wrong. Well, if it isn't, this is a good time to start. Why wait for this to get this to get worse? Jesus didn't wait. Jesus being a good Jew prayed this Psalm. It may have been one He prayed in the garden as He awaited to be betrayed by His disciple Judas. God helps those who earnestly call upon Him. How often does God, the LORD, invite us, command us to turn to Him for help but we believe the lie, “God helps those who help themselves,” and we don't pray? Put your trust and hope in God, Your Father, through His Son, Jesus Christ. 2May those who are trying to destroy me be disappointed and ashamed, and those who delight in harming me turn back in disgrace. 3May those who say, “Aha! Aha!” be appalled by their own shame. Indeed, such is the fate of those who without cause harm God's anointed One, Jesus Christ, who also did not repent of it. We can see how they were turned back in shame when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. They indeed were appalled by their own shame on that day. Yet, in baptism, as we are joined to Christ Jesus, we too are God's anointed. I know it seems like they get away with it when they cause us trouble. It was 40 years between Jesus' crucifixion and the destruction of Jerusalem. The LORD often gives ample time for people to turn from their sin and to turn to Jesus before executing justice for His people. He, and we should, desire people to repent of their sins and turn to Jesus. We want them to join us in our union with Christ Jesus. But if they do not repent, this curse shall be their end. 4But may all who look to You for help find joy and delight in You. May those who love You for saving them always say, “God is great!" This blessing will come upon all who look to the LORD and cry to Him for help. Jesus prayed this prayer in the garden. He is sitting at the right hand of God. When Jesus becomes our help, joy and delight, we are seated with Him in the heavenly places. In Revelation, Jesus tells us if we endure He will place us on His Father's throne. How often has God saved us, not only from our sin but many of the trials and tribulations of our lives? Should we not love Him for that? At the very least, we should recognize the great redemption and salvation He has provided us in Christ from sin and eternal death. That alone is enough for us to love Him and shout, “God is great!” 5I am poor and needy, O God, come to me quickly. You are my Helper and my Deliverer; O LORD, don't delay! Jesus indeed was poor and needy. He did not have a home to call His own to lay His head. He depended on the LORD to provide for Him. He prayed to God to come to Him quickly. The LORD, the Father, was His Helper and Deliverer. The Father raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. It may seem like the Father delayed, but Scripture had to be fulfilled. It may seem at times God is delaying answering our prayers. He is not. In His great wisdom, He knows what needs to come to pass, what other things He must bring about before our prayers can be answered. Of course, sometimes what we pray for is not what is best for us and for others. We must trust He is wiser than us. The prayer is not no, but not what you think is but what God knows is best. We can trust Him to be our Helper and our Deliverer in the day and the time of trouble. We are His dear children through faith in Jesus Christ. If you doubt that any, look to the cross of Christ and know how much He loves you to put His Son through that for your salvation. Merciful God and Father, be for us our Help and Deliverance in the day of trouble. May we in love, delight and joy shout God is great in the great assembly. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

The Wounded Healer (Psalm 18:1-6, 43-50)

“Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries.” Carl Jung

By French painter Georges Rouault (1871-1958) I love you, Lord;    you are my strength.The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;    my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.He is my shield, the power that saves me,    and my place of safety.I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,    and he saved me from my enemies. The ropes of death entangled me;    floods of destruction…

A Prayer for Judging the Wicked

1 Why do you stand far away, Lord? Why do you hide in times of distress? 2 The wicked one arrogantly pursues the afflicted, who are trapped in the schemes he devises. 3 For the wicked one boasts about his own desire; he blesses the greedy and despises the Lord. 4 With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, “God will not seek justice.” He always presumes “There is no God.” 5 Their ways always seem prosperous.

Your judgments are on high, far away from them.

They scoff at all their enemies. 6 They say to themselves, “We will not be moved throughout all time, and we will not experience adversity.” 7 Their mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression, their tongues spread trouble and iniquity. 8 They wait in ambush in the villages, they kill the innocent in secret. 9 Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net.

10 The victim is crushed, and he sinks down; the helpless fall by their might. 11 The wicked say to themselves, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

12 Rise up, Lord! Raise your hand, God. Don’t forget the afflicted! 13 Why do the wicked despise God and say to themselves, “God will not seek justice.”?

14 But you do see! You take note of trouble and grief in order to take the matter into your own hand. The helpless one commits himself to you; you have been the orphan’s helper.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; so that when you seek out his wickedness you will find it no more. 16 The Lord is king forever and ever; nations will perish from his land.

17 Lord, you heard the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen them, you will listen carefully, 18 to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed, so that men of the earth may cause terror no more. — Psalm 10 | International Standard Version (ISV) The International Standard Version of the Holy Bible Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.

Prayer: King of Glory, Lift Up Our Heads (Psalm 24)

Psalm 24 by Anneke Kaai Psalm 24 NIV The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, The world, and all who live in it; For he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

He will receive blessing from the…
