Psalm 108 - Thursday

Psalm 108

A song. A psalm of David.

1 My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing and make music with all my soul.

2 Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.

4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory be over all the earth.

6 Save us and help us with your right hand,
that those you love may be delivered.

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
"In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah my scepter.

9 Moab is my washbasin,
upon Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph."

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?

12 Give us aid against the enemy,
for the help of man is worthless.

13 With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.

Chin Ling : I cna testify of V4 of God's love and his faithfulness every step of the way. How he has never forgotten any of his promises. With God, There will always be victory even when it doesn't seem like it! His ways are so much higher. His thoughts are so much more wisdom-ful!

Eunice: These few days, I've been finding it difficult to praise, to even sing a new song.. The psalm for these few days are about praising him, but, I do not feel anything reading it. looking at everyone around me, it makes me feel even more inadequate. Lord, let my heart not turn cold, in v12, you said you will give us the aid against the enemy.. and I can find the victory in you.. God Jesus.. restore my joy..

Huijuan: V is for Victory!! hehe.. The battle begins today, afternoon paper, these 2 days though sick but was satisfied as mentioned in vs 1.... really rested in the midst of revision, now i know y the pslams that i am supposed to read b4 my exams period are so long...cos God wan me to rest.

Something to give thanks for God's love: Simon suppose to go Korea for business trip yday till mon, however the company last min cancel it, he was a bit upset, but i told him God got better plans, so yday i share with him, cos God knows i m falling sick, so he can take care of me. Amen. Simon agreed too. So its a blessing in disguise!

Crow: When i read the first few verses of the psalm, what went through my mind was that David must be in a good mood, and being v close to God when he writes it. And yet at the end of the psalm, i realise that as he wrote it, his army was losing battles, and God was not going with them. Then i remembered the first verse, which said, "My heart is steadfast". And i realise, ya... if our heart is steadfast, no matter what the situation, our hearts can always be filled with praise for the Almighty God.. Lord, help my heart to be steadfast..

Aileen: Exams today!!! and i submitted my resignation letter today also.. gonna convert to part time at raffles! wow.. really lots of battles but i believe in the lord's victory!!! YEAh!

Dellia: Many things have been happening and I thank God for reminding me to let my heart remain steadfast. THank You Lord, for guiding me and always being with me so that I don't have to panick but to trust in You.

Joanna: Been reading God's psalm and seeking him with regards to my recent job offer. God reminded me once again that his ways are higher than my ways and to trust in Him. I called DP and clarified with them some of the things they did not mention in my previous meeting and requested for more time as I wanted to make a responsible decision. Will get back to them on monday, as meanwhile they will continue interviewing. I trust that if this job is mine it will still be kept opened for me, till I am prepared to take tis job according to their terms.

Sara: While knowing that our God is so faithful, I find myself far in comparison to that. im fickle and unstable, and my faith wavers every now and then. But this makes the Lord even more awesome, knowing that He is simply steadfast and unwavering! *whew*
