O GOD ......

PSALM 70:1-5

(1)  Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.  (2)  Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:  let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.  (3)  Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.  (4)  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:  and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.  (5)  But I am poor and needy:  make haste unto me, O God:  thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD, make no tarrying.

COMMENTARY:

Brethren in the Lord, in this context; King David petitioned God to deliver him from enemy forces, and to take away poverty, and send help speedily.

As Christians, we can pray this psalm; when we are being persecuted by enemy forces; either at work, family circle, in our place of worship, in dreams/visions, or when we need breakthrough from poverty.

Brethren in the Lord, when we face trails and tribulations of life;  do we get aggravated in the storm, and would like to fight our own battles?,  "No!" but we call upon the Lord as the psalmist did above.  Sometimes we tend to lose hope when persecuted by enemy forces, and want to (quit our jobs, argue ourselves out of the situations, seek secular helps, or turn to friends and families for advise);  but fail to seek help from God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
We also fail to realize that these enemy forces rejoice at our hurts;  their missions are to break us down, so we could lose our goal in life, and not focus on Christ our Savior:  they might win the battle if we do not pray for divine intervention through the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

(Psalms 37:1-2)  (1)  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.  (2)  For they  shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.


Case in point, when friends, families coworkers act strange against us;  (lying to the boss, gossiping, ganging, spreading rumors, and becoming our enemies):   we tend to wonder (what happened to our relationships?, and  What is going on with their attitudes?);  brethren in the Lord, the enemy might be at work against us;  therefore, let us not put up a physical fight, or lose hope in the situation, but turn to the Lord in prayers for  justifications, and our enemies to be put to shame.

Children of God, there is a warfare going on in this world everyday;  and it is real, we need to be aware of its existence in our lives;  also, beware that it is not what we say or do, that provokes the warfare, it is who we are in Christ;  we are children of the most high God, and we walk in the light of his glory;  that is enough for satanic forces to fight against us.

These demonic forces cannot be seen with naked eyes, but they are real, and can operate through the ears and minds of anyone who is accessible to be used for their evil deeds;  but whoever is provoking us might not be aware that they are being influenced from the demonic world,  and are doing the will of their master the devil;  therefore, brethren let us give them the benefit of the doubt and pray for them for deliverance from all their evil works and be saved by the blood of Jesus so they can receive salvation.

CONCLUSION:

(Psalm 24:1)  The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof;  the world, and they that dwell therein.
Brethren we have a heavenly father (God), who owes everything in this world,  when we are faced with any kind of trails and tribulations or lack; let us approach him in prayer for help, through Jesus Christ his only son to deliver us, and send us help from his holy heaven.  Jesus says ........
(St, Matthew 11:28)  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jesus Saves!  Amen and Amen!
