In Eph. 6:10-13, we have what Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says "a call to battle." In Eph. we learn of the great power that dwells in us by our riches in Christ, but we also learn that there is a great evil power arrayed against us to thwart our process in the Gospel and our proclamation of the Gospel.

The Gospel and Missions are the story of the "Amazing Love" of God our Saviour. Pastor George W. Truett often shared his thoughts regarding missions and the local church in this way, "The church which is not actively and whole-heartedly committed to missions and Christ's Great Commission does not deserve the ground upon which their church building rests."

Psalm 150 concludes our summer in the Psalms and points us to the praise of our Saviour, our King and our God. The full realization of the praises of Psalm 150 await the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and the great Millennial Day of the Kingdom of God on earth. When "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9)

The setting for Psalm 42 is, most likely, the crisis experience of good King Hezekiah, as he faced imminent death from sickness, all recorded in Isaiah 38:1-5. Hezekiah had reached rock bottom, with a sick body and a sad heart, facing death but not ready to die. Hezekiah considered God and prayed with his friend dear Isaiah as a prayer partner. God heard Hezekiah's prayer from a sincere heart and answered by adding fifteen more years to his life and giving him spiritual joy. As you read Psalm 42, consider Hezekiah's faith experience. Apply faith and prayer to your life experience and, "Hope thou in God!" (Psalm 42:5, 11)
