Psalm 70, waiting on the LORD!

Psa 70:1, …To Bring to Remembrance. MAKE HASTE, O God, to deliver me! MAKE HASTE to help me, O LORD! 

G. Campbell Morgan believed that these types of prayers were flawed in the understanding of GOD! To think that GOD is not paying attention is just wrong! YET, he goes on to say that these imperfect prayers are exactly what GOD expects to hear from imperfect men!

Isa 40:28, HAVE YOU NOT KNOWN? HAVE YOU NOT HEARD? THE EVERLASTING GOD, THE LORD, THE CREATOR OF THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, NEITHER FAINTS NOR IS WEARY. HIS UNDERSTANDING IS UNSEARCHABLE.

GOD doesn’t sleep HE is always working!

Psa 121:3-4, He will not allow your foot to be moved; HE WHO KEEPS YOU WILL NOT SLUMBER. BEHOLD, HE WHO KEEPS ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.

Psa 70:4, LET ALL THOSE WHO SEEK YOU REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN YOU; AND LET THOSE WHO LOVE YOUR SALVATION SAY CONTINUALLY, “LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED!” 

Those who seek HIM shall rejoice in HIM; for there’s a great reward waiting for all who put their trust in HIM! WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” 

Psa 70:5, But I am poor and needy; MAKE HASTE to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, DO NOT DELAY. 

David describes himself as a poor afflicted beggar saying “PLEASE HELP ME LORD”!

Psa 13:1, …How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? 

GOD IS NOT IN A HURRY, YET NEVER LATE! HE UNDERSTANDS THE SITUATION BETTER THAN WE DO! TRUST IN THE LORD!

Psa 147:5, Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; HIS UNDERSTANDING IS INFINITE. 

Psa 62:5, MY SOUL, WAIT SILENTLY FOR GOD ALONE, FOR MY EXPECTATION IS FROM HIM.

Psalm 62, waiting on the LORD!

Psa 62:1-2, …Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

In times of trouble we get anxious waiting on the LORD to respond, But even in silence HE will refine HIS people; for we live by faith!

Mic 7:7, Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. 

Psa 62:3-4, How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. They only consult to cast him down from his high position; THEY DELIGHT IN LIES; THEY BLESS WITH THEIR MOUTH, BUT THEY CURSE INWARDLY. Selah

There are people around us who delight in lies, they rejoice in speaking evil, Yet act if they are our friends only to uncover more juicy details! Like a leaning fence soon they will fall and will need to answer the LORD for their offense!

Mat 12:36, But I say to you THAT FOR EVERY IDLE WORD MEN MAY SPEAK, THEY WILL GIVE ACCOUNT OF IT IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. 

Psa 62:8, Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

ONLY GOD CAN BE TRUSTED AT ALL TIMES FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED! OPEN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD FOR HE CARES FOR YOU!

Psa 62:9a, SURELY MEN OF LOW DEGREE ARE A VAPOR, MEN OF HIGH DEGREE ARE A LIE…

ALL MEN AND WOMEN FALL SHORT OF HIS EXPECTATION FOR WE ARE ALL SINNERS AT HEART!

Psa 62:11-12, …POWER BELONGS TO GOD. ALSO TO YOU, O LORD, BELONGS MERCY; FOR YOU RENDER TO EACH ONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.

ALL OUR WORKS AND WORDS WILL ONE DAY BE WEIGHED BY HONEST SCALES AND WILL BE TESTED BY FIRE! HE WANTS TO BLESS HIS PEOPLE WITH MUCH, YET WE BLOCK OUR OWN BLESSINGS! HE IS COMING, BE READY!

Rev 22:12, AND BEHOLD, I AM COMING QUICKLY, AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE TO EVERY ONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.

Job 29, waiting on the LORD!

Job 29:2-3, “Oh, that I were as in months past, AS IN THE DAYS WHEN GOD WATCHED OVER ME; When His lamp shone upon my head, And WHEN BY HIS LIGHT I WALKED THROUGH DARKNESS;

In Job’s eyes, his greatest lost was the fellowship he had with the LORD! job’s footsteps were guided by the light of his goodness even in times of darkness!

Psa 27:1, … The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

EVEN IN THE DARKEST, SCARIEST MOMENTS IN LIFE, THE LORD IS THERE READY TO HELP!

Heb 13:6, So we may boldly say: “THE LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT FEAR. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?” 

Job 29:12-13, Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper. The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

Job wasn’t greedy with his wealth, he helped the poor, the needy and the widow! GOD used Job to bless others!

Heb 13:16, BUT DO NOT FORGET TO DO GOOD AND TO SHARE, FOR WITH SUCH SACRIFICES GOD IS WELL PLEASED. 

Job 29:21-22, “Men listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel. After my words they did not speak again, And my speech settled on them as dew.

But now people look at him in awe! What happened to this man! What did he do? Even his friends turned on him?

Joh 13:7, Jesus answered…, “WHAT I AM DOING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOW, BUT YOU WILL KNOW AFTER THIS.” 

There are times in our lives when we just don’t understand what is happening, what is GOD doing, why am I going through this? BUT THOSE WHO KNOW THE LORD KNOW THAT HE HAS A PURPOSE FOR IT!  WAIT ON THE LORD!

Rom 8:28, And WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.
