Trust the Lord. Psalm 71& 72

 

Psalm 71 – Trust the Lord

 

The Lord cared for David at birth, and he trusted the Lord as a youth. God taught him during his mature years. Now he is old, and he prays that God will not abandon him.

Devote time to prayer and trust the Lord to help you, Instead of complaining about what is wrong, praise God for his righteousness and goodness. Practice continual prayer, continual praise, and continual hope.

Depend on His strength and use every opportunity to witness for Him. Ask God to make you a walking wonder who will point people to Christ. Keep a song on your lips and in your heart. The best is yet to come!

 

Psalm 72 – Pray for Wisdom

 

Solomon prayed for blessing on his reign when he followed David. As a young man, Solomon knew he could not succeed without the help of the Lord. This Psalm also pictures Jesus when He reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Solomon asked for wisdom to administer justice to his people, and God granted his request. (I Kings 3). His reign was like a refreshing shower that made the earth fruitful and beautiful. (2 Sam. 23:1-7). God can give you wisdom for your sake (James 1:5) and make you a blessing to others.

Peace and security prospered while Solomon were on the throne, and Israel’s domain was extended. God can give you peace and safety today as you yield to Him. He wants you to “reign in life” right now.

God’s purpose is to fill the whole earth with His glory as He unifies all things in Christ (Eph. 1:10).
