My last entry for a Psalm was in May this year. Psalm 31 is the last one, and we’ll continue from Psalm 36. I’m praying over Psalm 57, and I’ve changed the format from the ACTS. I’ve done that from time to time. Now that we’re in September, I must pick on Psalm or letter for memorization this long winter.
I cannot believe summer is over. We were busy fixing many of our ‘in progress’ list of repairs around our property and harvesting our crops. We’re fortunate that nothing was damaged by the storm Fiona, but many have lost their homes and property damages, depending on where you lived.
We will visit families and friends in Christ on the west coast, so there will be no posting for the coming weeks. Psalm 36 is dated July 24/22. September is one of my favourite months as the leaves on the maple trees are just starting to change their colour.
ADORATION (v. 5-6)
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord.
O my King, Your steadfast love gives us hope, joy, purpose, strength, and compassion. If you didn’t have a steadfast love for your servant, we would be crushed in spirit, soul, and mind.
Your righteousness is our voice and justice against those who hate us. We live in a time where there is nothing free or reasonable. Each one is doing what is good in their own eyes. We’re lost in a sea-storm of events that hates your word, hates the name of Jesus, and hates your grace.
Your judgments will come, and we pray your servant will be ready at your return. Show us your ways and truth, and keep our feet from wandering toward the danger of turning away from you with doubtful thoughts. The deception and lies must surrender to us, and we pray for you to give us a heart of discernment.
SUPPLICATION (v.1-4)
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4 He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.
O, my King, our transgressions are many and deep in our hearts. We fear God. Forgive us and rescue our souls from going further into following the wicket who runs this world with an iron fist, wanting to kill your people. They hate human intelligence and free people, and they hadn’t when the people raised against their evil plots and put them to shame. Their iniquities are trouble and deceit; they will not cease to act evilly. You will receive judgment upon them in your righteousness.
THANKSGIVING (v.7-9)
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
O My King, how precious is your steadfast love! We take refuge in your wings when our heart is cast down by fears or uncertainty of our liberty. We looked up at Jesus and found our strength. We see an abundant feast at your house, and our hearts are strengthened from its tiredness journey. The fountain of life poured into our veins, for Jesus loves me and saved me. Are we to forget his love in times of trouble? Am I to recant my King as Peter did when frightened of death? Oh no, oh no, let my lips praise him forever!
SUPPLICATION (v.10-12)
Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There, the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.
Continue your steadfast love toward your servant. Let not the foot of arrogance deceive us, or the hand of the wicket drive us away from You. They are evildoers, and you’ll thrust them down.
I pray for my neighbours, save their souls and protect them from deception. I pray for my children, who are Christians, to give them discernment, wisdom, and strength, heal them from hurtful relationships and redeem my child that isn’t saved. Who him the love of the Father. I pray for the young families of this country. Be with them as they have a more difficult journey ahead. I pray for the single young people who are broken, alone, fatigued, and lost in purpose in their life. Renew their heart with love for You, their only hope of pure restoration. Keep our marriage relationship pure and strong, with agape love for one another.
Let’s Go Pray!
