"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him" (Romans 5:8-9) Therefore, look to Christ for His mercy and forgiveness.

Psalter selection: 76A. Connected to Hezekiah's deliverance from the Assyrian siege, this meditation teaches three principles for understanding imprecatory psalms: they are directed against God's enemies not personal vendettas, they assure us of Christ's victory over all foes, and they lead both God's people and converted enemies to worship Him.

The Lord chastises those He loves. Therefore, when convicted of sin, let God's character move you to pray as David, "Let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercy is great."

Your life is not neutral, just a list of people, dates, and actions. It is much more. God is at work directing all things to His purpose. Recognize this spiritual purpose in your life so that you might faithfully serve the King of Kings.

God comforts us so that we may in turn comfort others. Therefore, find comfort in Him today. Minister comfort to one another today.

Look to your soul and do the King's work.

This psalm points to the justice and the judgment of the King. Beyond David himself, it points to the True King, the promised Redeemer, Jesus. The cup of the wrath of God is poured out against those who would lift up the horn of their own strength against Him. He reigns!

Pray for the victory of Christ the King over all His enemies.

When even the weakest believer cries out in Jesus' name, God comes on the wings of the cherubim with infinite speed and matchless power to save.
