Verse of the Day 11/3

 

Psalm 35:27-28 Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
"The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant's well-being."
²⁸ And my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness,
Your praise all day long.  Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

 

We've been considering what it means to "walk with the Lord" and how we as Christians are looking forward to that glorious day of His appearing.  As we go through this life we will be wronged from time to time, perhaps, seemingly continuously.  When this happens, David gives us a reminder of what His attitude was like.  He continually had "relentless trust".  He anticipated vindication, and was still able to glory in His God while he waited with expectation.

 

As I read these verses and am writing these words, the old hymn "Praise the Savior Ye Who Know Him" came to mind.  As we prepare, go to, or return from worship at our churches this morning may a song of praise be on our hearts.  

 

Praise the Savior, ye who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.

Jesus is the Name that charms us,
He for conflict fits and arms us;
Nothing moves and nothing harms us
While we trust in Him.

Trust in Him, ye saints, forever,
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He loves from Him.

Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself, and still believing,
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys with Thee.

Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be,
Things that are not now, nor could be,
Soon shall be our own.

Yes, praise the Saviour, you that know Him!
 

In Christ,
Mike

Psalm 35:26-28

 

The Message (MSG)
Let those who are being hilarious
    at my expense
Be made to look ridiculous.
    Make them wear donkey's ears;
Pin them with the donkey's tail,
    who made themselves so high and mighty!

^27-28 But those who want
    the best for me,
Let them have the last word—a glad shout!—
    and say, over and over and over,
"God is great—everything works
    together for good for his servant."
I'll tell the world how great and good you are,
    I'll shout Hallelujah all day, every day.
