IDOK DEVOTION for Tuesday, November 13, 2007
In whatever season of experience you are today I think you will find something in this Psalm to give you strength and hope. I think it is akin to that text that tells us ‘no weapon formed against us will prosper’ and when the plans of man pile up against us – He is fixing that and we are not to worry.
Father, I ask You to take this passage of Your Word and bathe the hearts of Your People this morning.
Psalm 33
1 REJOICE IN the Lord, O you [uncompromisingly] righteous [you upright in right standing with God]; for praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart].
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; sing praises to Him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully [on the strings] with a loud and joyful sound.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the loving-kindness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; He puts the deeps in storage places.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord [revere and worship Him]; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nought; He makes the thoughts and plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart through all generations.
12 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His heritage.
13 The Lord looks from heaven, He beholds all the sons of men;
14 From His dwelling place He looks [intently] upon all the inhabitants of the earth–
15 He Who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers all their doings.
16 No king is saved by the great size and power of his army; a mighty man is not delivered by [his] much strength.
17 A horse is devoid of value for victory; neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness,
19 To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield.
21 For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.
Father, where do we begin today? You are Awesome and we are grateful that You are on our side. That You are looking from Heaven and purposing all things for our good; grateful that You Holy Spirit are within us and grateful Lord Jesus that You have washed us clean and You keep us clean. Our words of thank You are not enough. Help us praise You with our lives.
Father, comfort Mr. Nash, only You can do that; ONLY You can heal hearts broken with loss and only You can heal hearts and minds filled with too much grief or sorrow or troubles or worries and concerns or fears and guilt and more. There are folks we love in these places Lord and we ask You to rescue them and deliver them to a place of rejoicing.
There are souls sick with disease and some just wondering what is the source of these illnesses and needing answers and remedies and we pray You will supply those answers and with the answers peace and remedy.
And as I look over the list Lord there are more . Thank You for what You have done for Callie; we are delighted and we desire to see her remission to go on and on. Others are recovering from procedures and we pray the recovery will go well and they will rejoice. We thank You for good reports we have heard and we trust they will continue.
We pray for IDOK Troops waiting for answers, Lord, You know our hearts on this – we are trusting You to move and hold steady as You know is needed. And we pray for all our IDOK Troops today that again today You will protect them and keep them safe in mind and body and spirit and that each of them will return home at the appointed time safe and sound and yes Lord we continue to pray they will love you more and more.
We pray for Peace of Israel and for the repentance of America. And Father as I am reminded, Lord surely it is not too late; the election is just a few days less than one year away, bring to light and forefront who YOU want for President; let us know and move us, move enough people to vote so he will be elected. Put YOUR FAVOR upon the ONE You have chosen. I don’t know how else this nation will survive Lord.
Guard us IDOKs today, give us strength to stand and grace and humility to kneel for Jesus sake.
