The opening thought of this psalm is the familiar Your kingdom come of the Lord’s prayer. About the last words of the New Testament are: Amen, Come Lord Jesus. This wonderful God who saves excites David. Am I excited?

SJA Notes

* True God, we would do Your will today.

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah.”

Here we are pointed to God, promoting that He is blessed.

Not that our own words hold power to bestow blessing, but that we are telling the truth about God.

He is blessed!

Then we see that _daily_ God bears us up.

We do not have a weekly doctor’s appointment with the Lord. This is not a yearly visit with God on Christmas or Easter.

Every. Single. Day.

Daily our Saviour bears us up. We stand on the rock, the rock that weathers wind and waves (the rock that calms the storm).

The world is against us, there are people against us, there are supernatural powers against us – Because we are found in Jesus.

So it is very important we grasp hold of this truth – That God is our saviour, our salvation.

He saves us!

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah.”

* Father God,

You are our salvation – Hallelujah, we praise Your Name!

Thank You that as Father You save us by Your grace.

Thank You that as Son You save us by your life, blood, death and resurrection.

Thank You that as Spirit You save us by Your illumination, Your renovation and Your preservation.

Amen.
