✝️TEXT: Psalm 61: 1-8(NKJV)
61:1. To the Chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David. HEAR my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.
61:2. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
61:3. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.
61:4. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
61:5. For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given [me] the heritage of those who fear Your name.
61:6. You will prolong the king’s life, His years as many generations.
61:7. He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him!
61:8. So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.
✝️STUDY: In this Psalm, David prays and cries to God to attend to his prayer. Being overwhelmed, he cries that he will be led into God’s presence. He confesses that God is his shelter, his strong tower, that he will dwell in God’s tabernacle forever, and that he will trust in Him. He reminds God that He has given him a good heritage, long life, and has been preserved with mercy and truth. Therefore, he promises to praise His name and fulfil his vows to the Lord.
Although David was king over Israel and Judah, he brought out time to pray to God. In fact, he praised God seven times every day (Psa.119: 164). No wonder he is said to be a man after God’s heart. Christians must form the habit of praying to God at all times, and not only when there is a problem. Jesus taught that men should pray always without fainting (Luke 18: 1). How is your prayer life? Is there still fire at your prayer altar?You can do like David and cry unto the Lord right now. Tell Him how you feel. Be open to Him and He will meet you at the point of your need.
✝️🙏 PRAYER: Grant me grace, O Lord, to pray always in Jesus’ name. Amen.
