Summer with the Psalms
Psalm 90 & 91 Friday & Saturday 8/30 & 8/31
Prayer for the Day:
Cleanse me of anything that is displeasing to You. Renew my mind O Lord, my body, and my soul, as I worship You and You alone. In Jesus name. Amen.
Verse:
Proverbs 8:17 NIV
I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.
Psalm 90 NLT:
Lord, through all the generations you have been our home!
Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God.
You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals!”
For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.
You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.
We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury.
You spread out our sins before you— our secret sins—and you see them all.
We live our lives beneath your wrath, ending our years with a groan.
Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty.But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away.
Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.
O Lord, come back to us! How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants!
Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.
Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.
And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
Psalm 90:1-17. NLT
Psalm 90:
Psalm 91:
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.””
Psalms 91:1-16 NLT
Scripture Reference:
Reflection:
We always seek the approval of those around us. We chase fame, fortune and fashion idols. How quick we are to forget our one true love. Let us today instead throw ourselves unashamedly towards the Lord.
“And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! (Psalm 90:17.)”
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.” What a wonderful promise for us to cling to, to meditate on and to determine our outlook on the world we now see.
To be present in our circumstances, despite their emotional impact on us, is such a gift that God offers to us.
In Psalm 91 we are able to sit, dwell and shelter ourselves in Gods love. To overcome difficulty and to develop a deeper understanding as a Son or Daughter of God in our everyday lives. Lets today fix our eyes on Jesus the author, protector and finisher of our faith.
Its time to sit with the promises of God and not get confused by our identity in today’s world. The Psalmist offers us this hope in Psalm 91. The Psalmist, quoting the voice of God, states that “When they (we) call on me (God), I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.” Lets call on God through Prayer, pursue Christ in the Midst and be persistent gathering with one another around his word online and in person in Jesus name. Amen
Let us Pray…
Dear Lord please help us to overcome all things, to be persistent in our time of need and open to the new things you are doing in our lives and communities with patience and perseverance. Hold our hands, hold our hearts and help us be Holy in your sight in Jesus name. Amen
“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:26 NLT
