-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Psalm 50
by Dr. D ~ June 22nd, 2020
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-
Read Psalm 50 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
The heavens declare your righteousness for you are the judge over all. The world in its fullness is all yours and you need nothing. You speak forth a word and all nature trembles. You are clothed in the firmament of the heavens and the earth is but a small planet in your Creation.
Yet you pay attention to humankind, you know our every deed both good and evil. Your Word comes forth both as Grace and judgment. Everyone one both great and small is measured by their faith in you and belief in your Son.
Many say that they will pacify God by giving money to a temple or church and appease your righteous nature by trying to do more good than evil. But you have declared in your Word that the beginning of wisdom is faith and the foundation of your Kingdom is love.
By your love you have sent your Son into the world to save it, and his teachings to show the way. And the Good News of your Kingdom will be spread in every nation, out of every people will come the testimony of your Son. From every land his followers will sing songs of joy at his coming.
We cannot do anything that lasts forever, but you have given us your Spirit and by his counsel we have stored up everlasting treasures. It is by your help that we do works of righteousness, on our own our efforts are nothing but filthy rags. But you have promised that every believer in your Son Jesus will be clothed in glory for the wedding feast of the King.
Rise up O God and bring down a glimpse of your Kingdom among your servants for the church of your Son is now being dragged in the dirt. Let a new day shine forth from the believers, let your Kingdom works be demonstrated in their midst. Let your Word bring joy to every nation, your love be demonstrated all around the earth. Let your healing and miracles free the children in every land from the dead religions they serve and from the demanding priests and imams they follow.
Let the light of your Son shine forth into the darkness and cover the whole earth. May the name of your Son be praised and worshiped in every land before that coming great day when all will stand before your throne.
In Jesus name, Amen.
