Psalm 76 ~ Praying God's Word


Please read Psalm 76.
Meditate on verses 8 and 9.

You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
the earth feared and was still when God arose to judgment
 to save all the humble of the earth.

Carefully observe God in Psalm 76. 

            *He is known and His name is great in Israel (v.1).
            *He is resplendent and majestic (v.4).
            *He is to be feared (v.7).
            *He judges to save all the humble of the earth (v.9).

These are important truths to remember and apply to your life. 

Whom do you fear?  Many people are afraid of any and everything except Almighty God.  As you read God’s Word, you will discover that you are to fear nothing and no one except the LORD; Satan wants you to do the opposite.  Make one of your gifts to Christ be fear of Him and nothing else.  That change of mindset will change your life for good.

Another truth to remember is God judges with the purpose of saving the humble.  Will you be saved, or does your pride keep you from Jesus and make you the object of God’s judgment and wrath?  “God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 5:6).   Come to the LORD in humility, and let Him change your life for eternity.

Pray Psalm 76:11 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD my God, _________ and I make these vows to you.
(Tell God the specific vows you are making.)
 Help us fulfill them.
We bring You these gifts.
(Tell God the specific gifts you are bringing.)
 You are to be feared.
In Your name, Jesus~”
