To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.
Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly. Psalms 75:4-5

In times of chaos, we need to remember God and His blessings. This is a hymn of praise. It thanks God for the wondrous deeds he has done for Israel. It celebrates the fact that he is the judge of all the earth. He will, in his own time, put down the wicked and lift up the faithful.

Psalm 75 also mentions a "horn". I didn't know what was meant by this symbol, so I looked it up. Most often, it's used as a symbol for physical or military strength. From the ESV commentary it says, "The horn could be a symbol of power and military strength, and thus to lift up or exalt it was to publicly assert power. God warns the ungodly not to lift up their horns (75:4), and promises that he will lift up the horn of the faithful."

The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD  - Isaiah 11:2

Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.

O God, why have you rejected us forever?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? Psalms 74:1

Do you ever feel like the people in the Bible are blessed because they're so good? Or, do you feel like God hears their prayers but not yours? Psalm 74 and yesterday's, Psalm 73, are examples of people thinking and saying the same things I do! Why does that person that does evil prosper? How long will these trials last? 

This psalm probably dates from the time when the Caldeans destroyed the Temple and the city of Jerusalem. The main emphasis of the opening verse lies in the argument which arose from Israel’s close relationship with God. Were they not his congregation? Was not the Temple his own chosen sanctuary? Did not these facts constitute the reason why he should come with swift footsteps to undo the evils that their foes were inflicting? The invaders were his (thine) adversaries. The Temple was the dwelling-place of his (thy) name.

 “‘“The LORD bless you and keep you;
 the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
 the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. ”’ Numbers 6:24-26

I was reading an exposition on prayer and the Easton Bible Commentary began with this statement, "Prayer is converse with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or meditation, but in direct address to him." 

This is so powerful! We are speaking directly to God! We aren't speaking to a priest, a councilor or a intermediary, but the Creator of the world, God! The infinite despite us being finite. With that in mind, let's go to Him in prayer and seek Him out directly! 

Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.

But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalms 73:2-3

Do you ever see the wicked prospering and wonder, "Why are they doing so well and I'm barely surviving?" The Psalmist had the same thought and walks us through his ideas in Psalm 73. This Psalm is very similar to the 37th Psalm, which should let us know, it's a topic that's struggled over. We aren't alone in our trouble. Charles Spurgeon writes, "May the Spirit of God graciously apply this Psalm to our hearts, comforting us as no one else can! Is He not the Comforter? And what better cordial has He for our spirits than His own Word?"

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:12-13

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19-20

From a Daily Devotional with AW Tozer:
A miraculous work of grace operates in the life of every sinner who is soundly converted and born again. It is the conscious transplantation of the divine nature into his heart through faith in Jesus Christ. It is such an overwhelming experience that he is likely to be explosively happy. He might cry out as Jacob of old did, “God is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”
 What happened? What made the difference? What had been restored to him? It was not the presence of God, but rather the conscious presence of God. What makes heaven what it is? The unhindered and unsullied presence of God. What makes hell what it is? The absence of a consciousness of the presence of God.
That is the difference between a prayer meeting and the dance hall. The unsullied presence of God fills heaven and earth, contains heaven and earth and is present everywhere. In the prayer meeting, some little old lady kneels and says, “O Jesus, where two or three are gathered there Thou art in the midst.” God is there. In the dance hall, they would be embarrassed if the presence of God were to be manifest.
My conversion is the implantation of the divine life in this repenting sinner.

“Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” Luke 12:35-40

“The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
 26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:24-28
