Psalm 61

Psalm 61

61 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

David cries to God and asks God to be present while he tells Him his problems.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Where is the end of the earth?  I guess we can say it is at our wit's end or the end of our ropes.  My heart is full.  Lead me in the truth beyond my understanding.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

You were my hiding place yesterday and a lookout for all who came against me.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

I will stay in your Word at all times.  I will trust in the hidden spot under your protection.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

You heard me when I said I want you to be Lord of my life.  You have given me what you promised Abraham.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

I will live the life of a king and may God allow my generation to reign.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

David prophesys the coming of the Christ.  Tell mercy and truth to always look after my son.  

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

When I sing I do my job better.  I will do my job and sing while I do it.

  For the last several days, I have been so engulfed with making short videos per verse in the Minor prophets that I did not feel it necessary to put in words my comments. But tonight, I want to share my summarize what I have learned from Jonah to Zephaniah.  I have discovered so much about God and myself; I left screaming who can I tell? God has put in His Word all the counseling I need or ever wished I knew existed.  He left everything I ever needed to know in His Word.   Once I was stuck on a few familiar scriptures that were good for me, but I had no idea God knew so much about my decisions on an everyday basis.  I never knew it mattered to Him to tell me everything about my life or words to share with others when they need to make the right choices.  God's Word is personal.  I have learned so much since the book of Daniel through the minor prophets; it amazes me in and out.  God knows everything about everything.  He has feelings, and He...

Nahum 1

Nahum 1 Nahum sends a message to the enemy God used to bring His people to correction.  However, God will not hold the enemy guiltless.  How can God use and judge people at the same time?  If your heart is evil, God will use your evil heart to show people what it is like to be under someone other than Him, who is absolute love.  We will have to submit to somebody, and if we don't want the leadership of God, then we must be submitted to someone, and that someone is the enemy. He allows the enemy to rule over our lives.  His plan is always to save everybody, but if we choose not to listen to Him, all who are not under His control will die. Although the enemy is the Assyrians in this chapter, I have chosen the spirit of the Assyrians to show how relevant our behavior connects to the wrath of God.  Just like Israel, who disobeyed God and had to go into a 70-year exile, we too will be judged by God.   What is Assyrian behavior?  Assyrian behavior lifts...
