Psalm 89
Inspired thots
The psalmist returns to PRAISE God again! Hallelujah! such a strong relationship with God that nothing can keep one down for long; there is SO much to THANK God for to remain in the dumps.
God's Faithfulness rings out loud and clear constantly if only His people see it. The Steadfast Love of God is from everlasting to everlasting. God is the Glory of our strength! Hence, it is right to shout Praises & Thanksgiving to Him continually! Hallelujah! We overcome by the blood of the Lamb!
Man is frail and withers away quickly if not for the Steadfastness of God.
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! :)

Deepest Desperation...Seek God
Psalm 88
Inspired thots
The psalmist seems to be at his lowest point in life in this psalm. There is only a constant cry to God with a heavy heart. There is no strength in him to even praise God or give thanks as in the other psalms no matter how bad the situation.
There is only a strong holding on to God when life is at the darkest pitch. One must remember that GOD ALONE is the only Lifeline at that moment.
It could only be a personal sin that has robbed the psalmist of his relationship and intimacy with God that caused God to turn away from Him. One must confess the sins quickly and seek restoration with God; otherwise, one feels the 'terrors' and 'wrath' of God.

Born in Destiny
Psalm 87
Inspired thots
This may be a short psalm and at first glance, contains little significance for the modern reader outside Zion. But the Lord is great and reveals His word to those who seek to understand and apply.
The Lord reveals how lovely is the one BORN of HIM! That person is likened to the City of God which He has founded. He loves His city and it shall be a good testimony for the Lord with its splendour.
Those who are obedient to His will would be clothed with glory! for God establishes Himself in that city. It shall be secure and firm in HIS Foundation.
Life springs from within...

Calling on God
Psalm 86
Inspired thots
How wonderful to be able to call on God anytime! The psalmist cried out to the Lord for compassion, mercy and deliverance; yet in the midst of his own despair and desperate cries of deliverance, his heart was turned to remember the goodness of God and changed his moans and groans to Praises.
What a transformation when one focuses on God instead of self! There are PRAISES instead of Despair when one is focused on God. Yes, the Lord will vindicate His own people and bring glory to His name! Hallelujah!

Desiring to HEAR God
Psalm 85
Inspired thots
God does speak; especially to His people. He speaks PEACE to His people and that is very important.
Peace calms the heart and mind; it soothes the soul. God's words soothe the soul to help those who hearts are turned to Him to be still and behold His glory.
How wonderful when STEADFAST LOVE and FAITHFULNESS come together; RIGHTEOUSNESS & PEACE embrace. Adopt ONE and get the OTHER! The Lord blesses.
Do we hear God? He gives only the best; HIS Best! But we tend to be selective in our hearing and miss out on a greater deal.

Love Wells Up
Psalm 84
Inspired thots
There are no words to be spoken when reading this Psalm; only L O V E wells up within to my Mighty Loving God!
The words of this psalm flow into a song to P R A I S E the Almighty Father! Indeed, there is Nothing Better than to dwell in God's house; it is indeed BETTER to be a Doorkeeper in HIS house than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
Words are not enough to express Praise & Thanksgiving to God; only a Grateful Heart of Love welling up to flow UP to Him will suffice. Great is the Lord! Glory and Honor to Him! I Love YOU, Lord!

Victory Over the Enemies
Psalm 83
Inspired thots
A Recollection of God's power and works against the enemies in the past and the present. There is no need for concern with God on our side; He delivers us from our enemies as we stay with Him all the way. He executes judgment in due time.
May the enemies be turned from their wicked ways to Jesus who saves. Yes, Lord, even today for our beloved nation. Turn their eyes towards You instead of being blinded by the devil who makes them do his bidding. Set these wayward free from eternal slavery O Merciful God! and let them enjoy Your salvation. I pray and bless them in Your name, Jesus.
