In times like this, the Psalmist
has often Pleaded for GOD to remember HIS people, His covenant, and His sheep
etc.
Are you drawing near? Are you
seeking HIM out? Or are you too busy seeing out the work of the enemy and
giving the enemy the Glory that belongs to the LORD.
For without the LORD, man has
NO HOPE, NO SAFE HAVEN, NO MERCY, NO Rain, NO Sun, NOTHING GOOD. etc.
There is only darkness,
desolation, destruction etc.
A PLEA to the LORD from the Psalmist:
Psalms 74: 1 [Maschil of
Asaph.]] O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? [why]
doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Psalms 74: 2 Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast
purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed;
this mount Zion ,
wherein thou hast dwelt.
Pslams 74: 3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all
[that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
This Psalmist had spiritual eyes to see
that the “ENEMIES” were in the midst of the congregation and they were SETTING
up their “ensigns”
Very interesting the meaning of ensigns/signs.
Do you see the correlation?
Psalms 74: 4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy
congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
1) sign, signal
a) a distinguishing mark
b) banner
c) remembrance
d) miraculous sign
e) omen
f) warning
2) token, ensign,
standard, miracle, proof
Psalms 74: 7 They have cast
fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by
casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
Psalms 74: 8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them
together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land
Psalms 74: 9 We see not our
signs: [there is] no more any prophet: neither [is there] among us any that
knoweth how long.
Psalms 74: 10 O God, how long
shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy
blaspheme thy name for ever?
The CREATOR of the
UNIVERSE that knoweth all things:
PSLAMS 74: 12-23 (
the MIGHTINESS OF HIS PRAISE)
PSALMS 74: 12 For God [is] my King of old, working
salvation in the midst of the earth.
Psalms 74: 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:
thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Pslams 74: 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in
pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Psalms 74: 15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood:
thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Psalms 74: 16 The day [is]
thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Psalms 74: 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:
thou hast made summer and winter.
GOD LOVES ME, what else could I possibility need!!!
