There are two types of people in Scripture; those who run from God and those who run to God. Psalm 70:1-5 Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O Lord! Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek my life; let them be turned back and confused who desire my hurt. Let them be turned back because of their shame, who say, Aha, aha! Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; and let those who love Your salvation say continually LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED! But I am poor and needy; make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.
Two groups of individuals are the focus of our psalm. On one had we have those reveling against God by seeking the demise of His people . On the other hand we have the people whom God has redeemed. These call out to Him for deliverance. They realize that they are spiritually bankrupt and in need of salvation. their cry is , "Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
The question we must all consider is this: Have I come to understand my need for Jesus? Each of us must answer as we make our way through this life. When you see that you need Him, you can then cry out to Him to deliver you.
Those who are rescued by God and seek His glory can say in the face of had times that they "rejoice in Him. True gladness of heart is found in the Lord alone. When temptations come and tribulations is all around, there will be little room to rejoice in our situation. When the culture becomes more and more godless, there will be little room to be glad in our environment. But in spite of our situation and environment, we still serve a God who has delivered us from sin, death, and Satan. Because of this we rejoice and are glad. He alone brings us joy!
Sometimes it seems as if the world mocks us at every turn. This is a life of a disciple. Yet we are encouraged to seek the face of God even when the world mocks us. We are to seek God's glory despite the fact that our adversaries seek our demise. Our cry must be, LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED! We need to ask ourselves; Is He being magnified in my life? He is being magnified in my family? Is He being magnified among my neighbors?
There are adversaries all around, but let us seek the glory of the Lord and the exaltation of His name above all else. He has rescued us so that we can go about our day magnifying His precious name.
FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
HAVE A VERY BLESSED THURSDAY; LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED!
