6-22-21 THOUGHTS

We need to pray this for the world and nation we live in!
Ps 67:1-7    God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us —  Selah.  2  That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations. 3  Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. 4  Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah. 5  Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. 6  The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, blesses us. 7  God blesses us, That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.
We ought to remember those who have no helper.
Ps 72:12-14    For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. 13  He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save. 14  He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
God listens to our prayer.
Ps 65:1-5   There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God, And to You the vow will be performed. 2  O You who hear prayer, To You all men come. 3  Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You forgive them. 4  How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 5  By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;
Using words from the Psalms this morning, we are reminded of some needful things.  Our world, surely our nation, seems fragmented, confused and lost these days.  Jesus is the answer!  His story must be told!  His people have the light.  We must not lose heart!
Again, Ps 67:2-3   That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations. 3  Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You.
2Tim 4:1-8   I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2  preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4  and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5  But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6  For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; 8  in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

My Prayer:
O God, may the world be taught to praise your name.  May our nation learn your glory and to flee from living lives for the self.  Power is yours O Lord.  Help us to remember!  Teach us to be usable in the kingdom, and may we boldly lift up your name and tell the good news of Jesus.
In the precious name of Jesus            Amen
