Psalm 82
Inspired thots
God will judge everyone in His time especially at the final Judgment Day. Will we be found wanting? How sad for the sons of man who are proclaimed "gods"; yet, we shall not escape God's judgment. How sad that we should fall like all man even princes no matter how great they are on earth!
Rightly are the sons of the Most High judged; and more severely as we have the knowledge and understanding of Him! We have tasted His goodness and grace but we really have no knowledge and understanding of God... perhaps we do not treasure Him enough or our basic wicked selfish nature gets the better of us. How sad!
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)

Provision & Protection with God
Psalm 81
Inspired thots
It is good to recall the goodness of God in our lives. Man forgets easily; selfishness is rampant.
But one should remember that no one else but God is able. Humility is best practiced before God who provides only the best. He vindicates those whom He loves and those who obey Him.

Appeal to God
Psalm 80
Inspired thots
The psalmist continually cried out, "Restore us, O God! Let thy face shine that we may be saved!"
This is an acknowledgement of having sinned against God that He punished by leaving the sinners to their own destruction. Now, in difficult conditions, the psalmist still cries out to God for RESTORATION. He cries for God's favor on His people again to enjoy deliverance.
And God is GOOD! He has compassion on His people who repent. Blessed be His name!

Call Upon God
Psalm 79
Inspired thots
There are really times when one feels the bottom of the pit; nevertheless, calling on God is the ONLY option. No one else can deliver. But what if God is 'upset'? for man does anger God constantly. The only option still is to return to Him with a humble heart and bank on His compassion. May He pour out His rich mercy and grace upon us to forgive, deliver and heal.
Truly there is no other God like my God!

Lest We Forget
Psalm 78
Inspired thots
God is faithful and true; man is the opposite. He has done SO much for man; yet, man can forget and turn his back on God. Man is basically selfish. Why cant man take on more of God's nature? His "DNA" ~ perhaps a lot of personality issues can be resolved then. Only God knows; how He must have been grieved with man.
O Great and Merciful God, have Mercy! Forgive Lord for we are foolish in our own ways. Let us to Your paths for our own sake. Help us remember Your goodness and grace to reciprocate, Lord. You deserve better.

Perseverance Brings UPLIFTING
Psalm 77
Inspired thots
It is easy and common for one to feel cast down in soul and spirit that there is no comfort from anyone or anywhere; not even God. It seems that the psalmist tried to focus on God and meditate on His word but still he is not comforted; his spirit fails.
But when one is downcast, he should PERSEVERE; there are great benefits in persevering. Instead of being INWARD looking which is usually Negative, one should be UPWARD looking and SPEAK OUT on the faithfulness and wonders of God in one's life.
Speaking LIFE to the Soul and Spirit is VITAL to revival. The Lord will lead His people to Freedom, Deliverance, Victory!

Be on God's Side
Psalm 76
Inspired thots
One must remember how GREAT and AWESOME God is. There is no other god but Him. Who else can do the things He does? Hence, the wise would get on God's side. Then all is well.
One can look around and confirm the PRESENCE of God; history declares His works and establish His might. Man is powerless against Him. Everything points back to God. O Lord, open our eyes and hearts to see You in Your greatness!
Have mercy.
