Psalm 99:1-9
Psalm 99:1-9
One of the greatest joys in the Christian life is the joy of answered prayer. To be able to say to someone, “God answered prayer today!” To pick up the phone and someone says, “Thank you for praying. Let me tell you what God did.” The psalmist talks about this in Psalm 99 verse 6, “They called upon the LORD and He answered them.” Who is He talking about? Well, He’s talking about Moses and Aaron and Samuel. “Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon His name; they called upon the LORD and He answered them.” Moses called upon the Lord so many times, when he had the burdens of the people on his shoulders. Aaron called upon the Lord as the high priest. It rejoices my heart today to know that my High Priest up in heaven is interceding for me and I can come at any time and He can give me the grace that I need.
Here’s Samuel. Samuel had some disappointments in his life. His family was not all that it ought to be. The nation was not all that it ought to be and Samuel cried out to the Lord. “They called upon the LORD and He answered them.” Now if we call upon the Lord, will He answer us? Well, if we have met the conditions that they met. Verse 7 of Psalm 99, “He spoke unto them in the cloudy pillar.” They listened to God’s Word. “If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7). You see we want to come and talk to God and tell Him about all of our problems. He wants to talk to us and tell us about all His promises. First we should listen to Him and then He will listen to us. They obeyed Him. “They kept His testimonies and the ordinances that He gave them.” Obedience is important to answered prayer.
If we’re abiding in Christ, we will obey His Word. And then we will be able to call upon Him. They confessed their sin. God forgave their sins and God enabled them to do what He wanted them to do and they wanted to exalt the Lord. The purpose of prayer is to glorify God. Verse 9, “Exalt the LORD our God worship at His holy hill, for the LORD our God is holy.” Today pray without ceasing. Call on the Lord. Let’s enjoy the privilege and the blessing of answered prayer.
