Lord is a person to cling to

11/30/11                                                                              Psalm 9


Scripture: 9:7-10 The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Observation: This is telling us that the Lord will be on his throne forever, there is nothing or no one that will push him off of the throne. The throne was established for judgment, where he will judge the world with righteousness. The Lord is a person to go to for the oppressed souls of the world and someone to cling to in times of trouble and great strife. Those people that do know him will trust in him, because the Lord will never ever turn his back on those that have come to him for guidance.

Application: The application is that we need to go to the Lord when we have times of trouble and great strife. We need to lean on the Lord for guidance because we know the Lord wont turn his back on us. Always, always turn to the Lord, for he will be there on his throne judging the world with righteousness.

Prayer: Thank you Lord, for being there for me in times of trouble and strife. I know that you wont turn your back on me and will always be there for me. Amen!!
