Please read
Psalm 80.
www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/psa/80/1/s_558001
Meditate on
verses 3, 7, and 19.
O God, restore us and cause Your face to
shine upon us, and we will be saved.
O God of hosts, restore us and
cause Your face
to shine upon us, and we will be
saved.
O LORD God of hosts, restore us; cause Your
face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
Asaph’s
prayer request sounds the same in three of the verses, but each time he adds to
the name of God; “O God, O God of hosts, O LORD God of hosts ...” (vs. 3, 7,
19). You can hear the urgency as he
calls on the LORD to save Israel.
Instead
of Israel being fed with manna and water from the rock, God was feeding the
people with the bread of tears in large measure (v. 5). Asaph asked God how long He would be angry
with the prayer of His people (v. 4).
Are
you or someone you love in a season of God’s discipline and reproof? Remember that God disciplines those He loves
(Hebrews 12:6). Call on the name of the
LORD in repentance and trust.
Pray Psalm
80:17-19 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful,
prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, let Your hand be upon 
and me.
and me.
Make us people of Your right hand, people whom
You have made strong for Yourself. Do not let us
turn back from You; revive us, and we
will call upon Your name.
O LORD God of hosts, restore
us;
cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
