Woah Nellie - this episode of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show brings the fire!
We're looking at Psalm 138 from the Amplified Bible ~
I will give You thanks with all my heart;
I sing praises to You before the [pagan] gods.
2
I will bow down [in worship] toward Your holy temple
And give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have magnified Your word together with Your name.
3
On the day I called, You answered me;
And You made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life.
4
All the kings of the land will give thanks and praise You, O Lord,
When they have heard of the promises of Your mouth [which were fulfilled].
5
Yes, they will sing of the ways of the Lord [joyfully celebrating His wonderful acts],
For great is the glory and majesty of the Lord.
6
Though the Lord is exalted,
He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship];
But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.
7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
8
The Lord will accomplish that which concerns me;
Your [unwavering] lovingkindness, O Lord, endures forever—
Do not abandon the works of Your own hands.
Verse 4 - God's promise as He gives them to us WILL BE FULFILLED. This speaks to us of a good, blessed future. If you're in a dark spot, think on this truth today & believe for a brighter, better tomorrow.
Verse 6 - This is literally what God does for us - as in, right now! We are all lowly as compared to the greatness of our God. And yet, He invites us in - this is such good news!
Haughty = arrogantly superior & disdainful...vain...pompous...snobbish... (let's be careful to eliminate all haughtiness from our hearts & be humble so that we can be known up close & personal, not from a distance).
Verse 7 - The promise here is a kicker! Can you say, like Job said, that even if He slays you, yet you will keep on hoping in Him? No matter what?!?
Verse 8 - This verse is a CLOSER... David ends with the words: "Do not abandon the works of Your own hands." What bold verbiage! Compare this with what Jesus said about prayer in Luke chapter 18 & pray big, bold prayers based on God's good promises to you today.
