Psalm 70 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 70.

Meditate on verse 4.

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and let those who

love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified.”

When David wrote this psalm, he was not glad and rejoicing; he was afflicted and needy. He sought God to deliver him, giving God a list of his needs. Let David’s honesty encourage you as you tell God your requests. David asked God to:

·      hurry and deliver me (v. 1)

·      hurry and help me (v. 1)

·      let those be ashamed and humiliated who seek my life (v. 2)

·      let those be turned back and dishonored who delight in my hurt (v. 2)

·      let those be turned back because of their shame who say, “Aha, aha!”

             (v. 3)

Even though you seek and love the LORD, there will be season: days, months, or perhaps even years when you need the LORD to not delay in delivering you from what is threatening to devour you.  Be honest with Him about what you need.  He loves you and is faithful to provide.

Pray Psalm 70:5 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, _______ and I are afflicted and needy;

hasten to us, O God! You are our help and our deliverer;

O LORD, do not delay!


For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
