Ps 28:9

I like the NKJV rendering of the above verse in our reading today. 
"Save Your people,
And bless Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
And bear them up forever."
 
This is a prayer of David beseeching God to hear his supplication.  Notice the action verbs used:




Certainly in times of difficulty, we want the Lord to save and deliver us; all the more so because we are the apple of His eye (Dt 32:10), His chosen people.  We are also the inheritance of the Lord whom He will bless; blood-bought by Jesus Christ Himself (1 Pet 1:18-19).  God is also our shepherd and leader who will guide us into all truth and in the way we should go (Ps 32:8).  And He is the glory and lifter of our heads, who will bear us up forever on eagles wings (Ps 3:3, Ex 19:4). 


Would you like God to deliver you from whatever situation you are in?
Would you like Him to bless you richly and abundantly?
Would you like Him to provide you with direction in life?
Would you like to come under the protection of His wings?


Then pray this psalm of David earnestly and God will act on your behalf. 
This week has been a busy week of meetings and working on time-table schedules for staff and students. Through it all, God has been leading and guiding me each step of the way.  There were also moments of great learning when God has been teaching me how to handle certain things correctly.  We have to learn how to savour the good times and reflect on the not so good times, to see how we can grow and improve.  Of course, ultimately to become more Christ-like in our nature and behaviour.
