God’s Sovereignty | Prayer Point

Praising God for What He Does

TEXT: Psalm 146: 1-10(NKJV)

146:1. Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

146:2. While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

146:3. Do not put your trust in princes, [Nor] in a son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

146:4. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.

146:5. Happy [is he] who [has] the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope [is] in the LORD his God,

146:6. Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that [is] in them; Who keeps truth forever,

146:7. Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

146:8. The LORD opens [the eyes of] the blind; The LORD raises those who are bowed down; The LORD loves the righteous.

146:9. The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

146:10. The LORD shall reign forever — Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

STUDY:

This Psalm is “the first of five joyous hymns of praise that close the Psalter” (The Ryrie Study Bible). It opens with a call to praise (vv. 1-5). The writer declared that he would praise the Lord while he lived (v.2). He listed the reasons for the praise as the greatness of God (v.6) and the graciousness of God (vv.7-10): God made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them. God executes justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry, gives freedom to the prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, raises those who are bowed down, helps widows and orphans among other things He does. We cannot enumerate all that God does to warrant our praising Him. The truth is that our experiences of God are different and the way we praise Him sometimes is based on our personal experiences. Do you feel there is nothing worthwhile God has done for you-just praise Him that you are alive today. That gives you more opportunity to be hopeful.”… A living dog is better than a dead lion” (Eccl. 9:4). You can also praise God for who He is; a great and mighty God!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, may I always see reasons to praise you daily in my life in Jesus Christ mighty name I pray! Amen.

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You.

Revelation, Wisdom and Might Come From God

TEXT: Daniel 2: 14-23(NKJV)

2:14. Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise [men] of Babylon;

2:15. he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree from the king so urgent?” Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel.

2:16. So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation.

2:17. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

2:18. that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.

2:19. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

2:20. Daniel answered and said: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.

2:21. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

2:22. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what [is] in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.

2:23. “I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king’s demand.”

STUDY:

Daniel and his companions were faced with a very challenging and life-threatening situation. Nebuchadnezzar had ordered the execution of all the wise men in Babylon because they could not tell or interpret his mystery dream. Daniel and his colleagues, as part of the wise men in Babylon, were to be executed. To avoid this, Daniel, by counsel and wisdom from God, engaged Arioch the king’s chief guard in a conversation. He (Daniel) requested for more time to seek the Lord for intervention. After this, Daniel, together with his companions and prayer partners, earnestly sought the mercies of God in prayers. Like Daniel and his companions, we face challenges in our Christian journey. We must learn from Daniel who sought the face of God for revelation and how God in His mercy revealed the secrets. You need to have prayer partners for spiritual support. Daniel acknowledged that the revelation came from God, hence he returned praise and glory to Him. It was not an opportunity for him to boast of his spiritual gifts and prowess. Indeed, revelation, wisdom and might come from God.

PRAYER:

Help me, O Lord, to continually seek your mercies and be a faithful intercessor:
