Lord, you have been our dwelling place
in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
God is eternal. That doesn’t just mean He will be around forever, it means He has been forever. He does not go through time like we do, with a beginning, progression, and end… He is always in the eternal now. Before anything was, He was, and He will always be.
There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
There are many things which take the place of God in our lives, from time to time, but there is really only one God. Nothing else that ever was or ever will be is like Him. The things He can do are unparalleled. We should be asking God to reveal more of Himself to us so that we can follow Him. Worship is uniting your heart with God’s, so much so that you go out and live more like Him. Worship God today.
Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Revival is where people who used to know God better, have a closer walk with Him, come back to the passion of their previous relationship, and even exceed it. Every Christian should be praying for revival in their own life, in their family, in their church, and in their community as well as the world. We need revival, we always have. Send it on down Lord!
Do not remember against us our former iniquities;
let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
for we are brought very low.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and atone for our sins,
for your name’s sake!
All it takes is to ask. God is a compassionate God. He wants to save you, and He wants to keep on saving you. It’s not just for your sake, it’s for His own glory. Think about how amazing God is, He can take us, US, and turn us into His bride. Trust in the Lord, follow Jesus… for his name sake.
Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
We cry out to God for help, this is a good thing. He wants to hear from us. We sometimes are the most honest with God when we are the most urgent. David is saying “God, help me, and do it ASAP!!!” and that’s a great prayer… as long as you realize you’re not obligating God to act how you want, only within His will. Cry out to Him today.
