A Fervent Trust and Steadfast Hope In The Lord Most High
Psalms 86:1-13 NIV
[1] Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
[2] Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God;
[3] have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
[4] Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
[5] You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
[6] Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy.
[7] When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me.
[8] Among the gods, there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
[9] All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name.
[10] For you are great and do marvellous deeds; you alone are God.
[11] Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name.
[12] I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever.
13]For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.
Praise to the Lord our holy and faithful Father
Let's pay attention to verses 2,8, and 13.
which assure us of
a) God's guidance as we walk truthfully before Him, demonstrating our unwavery trust in Him
b)Another beauty of this psalm is the reminder of God's people that He is totally and comprehensively incomparable to any other known god, hallelujah.
The Father's greatness is also revealed in His love towards us
And finally, His immesurable deliverance in all spheres of life for us even from the realm of the dead. Hallelujah
