Daily Nugget:
Except for a few word changes, Psalm 70 is similar to Psalm 40:13-17. God certainly realizes our conditions and situations and must know that we need to hear this hymn of remembrance more than once.
We are reminded in this Psalm that we all find ourselves in situations where we are in a hurry for God’s help (Psalm 70:1, 5). We are also not alone in wanting God to deal swiftly with those that are against us (Psalm 70:2-3).
When God does graciously deliver us from a bad predicament, we should want others to know about His intervention and deliverance in the situation. He should “be magnified” for what He has done.
The world would undoubtedly know God is alive and still working in lives if those that prayed for and received His help would let others know of His intervention. When He gets the glory He deserves, more would see that He is an answer when some believe there is no hope for the situation they find themselves in. Magnify God’s name today by letting others know what He has done in your life.
Today’s Thought:
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” II Cor. 4:6
Words to Understand:
Magnify: to make important and prominent
Today’s Reading:
Psalm 70
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
