“The Most High Uttered His Voice!” 10-22-09

Good morning, Lord Jesus. To You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—belong all glory and honor and praise. Into Your will, I commit my life and this day. ... “The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered His voice.... He reached down from on high, He took me; He drew me out of mighty waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me; for they were to mighty for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me” (Psalm 18:13-19). O Lord, utter Your voice from the heavens when I have sinned against You, that I may be pierced to the heart and convicted of sin, so I can quickly repent and be restored to the place of spiritual intimacy and communion with You. O Lord, utter Your voice from the heavens when I need Your word of encouragement and confirmation of Your Spirit within me and Your anointing upon me to accomplish Your purpose and will for me. And O Lord, utter Your voice from the heavens when the enemy of my soul seeks to attack me and distract me and steal from me the peace and joy and love that You have poured into me. “In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From His temple He heard my voice and my cry to Him reached His ears” (v. 18:6). You always near, always ready to hear our cry and utter Your voice to move mightily in our defense against every spiritual foe. “Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quacked because He was angry. Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His wrath; glowing coals flamed forth from Him. He bowed the heavens, and came down...” (v. 18:7-9). Praise You, Lord God Almighty! Your steadfast love endures forever; Your mercy never ends; Your judgments are faithful and true. And You love us more than we can ever imagine. You fight for us in ways we can’t always see. But You deliver us because You delight in us (v. 18:19). And if God be for us, who can be against us. “Then my enemies will retreat in the day when I call. This is know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I am not afraid. What can a mere mortal do to me?” (Psalm 56:9-11) Yes, Lord. Let Your Spirit arise in my heart, with fresh faith and courage in Christ for every battle, with thanksgiving and shouts of praise for every victory. “Let God rise up, let His enemies be scattered... But let the righteous be joyful (righteous only through the cleansing blood of the Righteous One); let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy!” (Psalm 68:1-3) “I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so I shall be saved from my enemies” (Psalm 18:3). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
