Sing...Out Loud!

Tuesday, May 25
Psalm 68: 33
33 Sing to the one who rides across the ancient heavens,
his mighty voice thundering from the sky.
Zephaniah 3:17 says, “The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over them with singing.”
Today, as you meditate on this verse, listen for the song of the Lord; your song to Him and His song to you. Chronicle what you sense. Sing.

Psalm 68: 31-32
31 Let Egypt come with gifts of precious metals;
let Ethiopia bow in submission to God.
32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth.
Sing praises to the Lord.
Today, pray for Egypt and its surrounding nations to come to know the Messiah. Jesus loves Ishmael’s seed and promised Hagar that her seed would dwell in the presence of all his brothers (Genesis 16:12.) Pray for Isaac’s seed and Ishmael’s seed to be united under the banner of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Psalm 68: 28-30
Again, like last week, meditate on these scriptures, paying close attention to verse 30. Remembering that the Old Testament is a book of types and shadows, apply the meanings of the nations mentioned to relevant circumstances in your life. Nelson’s Bible Dictionary states that the enemy nations sited here may mean Egypt, Assyria, and Canaan. The Hebrew meaning of Egypt is stronghold; to confine, assault, or bind. Assyria means successful. Canaan means to humiliate or bring into subjection.
Do you feel the enemy has been successful in keeping you subjected to humiliations, bondages, and strongholds? Today, ask the Lord to display His strength and rebuke your enemy nations. And don’t stop there! Ask for double mercies for every woe. Zechariah 9:11-12 “Because of the covenant I made with you, sealed with blood, I will free your prisoners from death in a waterless dungeon. Come back to the place of safety, all you prisoners, for there is yet hope! I promise this very day that I will repay you two mercies for each of your woes!” Make the enemy pay tribute! Record what you hear the Holy Spirit saying to you.

Sprout Grace

Wow! Ladies, this is week 18 and only 5 more scriptures to go to complete Psalm 68. We have taken the Word of God so seriously that it has taken us five months to chew 27 verses. In the Hebrew culture, it was an accepted practice to concentrate on small passages. The consumption of huge segments was not necessarily the goal. Just as gourmet food is more rich and meant to be eaten slower and in smaller portions, the Word of God is to be and savored and relished.
It is my desire that we, as God's daughters will get a glimpse of just how awesome we are in Him and that we become more and more aware of His power resident within us. Through the germination of His Word in our hearts, we begin to sprout, almost effortlessly, the produce of His Grace.

Psalm 68: 28-30
28 Summon your might, O God.
Display your power, O God, as you have in the past.
29 The kings of the earth are bringing tribute
to your Temple in Jerusalem.
30 Rebuke these enemy nations—
these wild animals lurking in the reeds,
this herd of bulls among the weaker calves.
Make them bring bars of silver in humble tribute.
Scatter the nations that delight in war.

In this passage, the psalmist is proclaiming that all nations must ultimately come under the rule of Jehovah God. Today, go beyond your immediate sphere of relationships and pray for the nations. Record what nations come to your mind. Pray these scriptures over those nations.
