Psalm 55:16-17 "As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. (17) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."
Psalm 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall
sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
This 55th Psalm is a very interesting one, to say the least. Quite honestly, if
I didn't know better, I would think it had been written within the past 4 years
concerning our own nation. We read in the very middle of the Psalm, "For
it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was
it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid
myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine
acquaintance." (Psalm 55:12-13) One of Satan's most used tactics is to try
to drive a wedge between people. And the wedge that is most often used is that
of pride. We read in James 4:1, "From whence come wars and fightings among
you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"
Yes, pride brings the desire for power and authority. And quite honestly, when
reading today's Psalm, I was thinking of one side over another as to who it
applied to. So just now I will ask, please do not make any political style
comments about this writing; for I picked out three verses that I feel are
needed for our nation in today's climate. It seems our nation has lost its true
focus. To a great extent, we have taken our eyes off the Lord and therefore we have
a sinking sensation. The Saviour of America is not a member of any political
party. The Saviour of America is not a human being; though, for 33 1/2 years He
took on Himself a human form. The Saviour of America is the only Lord of all,
Jesus the Christ of God. My desire is to read and hear more about Jesus, not
any man. May God bless America - Land that I love!
Until Prayer Changes Me
Sung by the Kingdom Heirs
Sometimes my burdens bring me to my knees
With problems I don't understand
I ask God to change it so I can arrange it
According to my master plan
But when I remember who parted the sea
And hung all the stars in the blue
I stop and surrender to the only heart mender
Who knows just what I need to do
And I pray until Heaven comes down
I stay on my knees till I've found
Peace and assurance and grace flowing free
I pray until prayer changes me
