The Power of Prayer {2 Sam 17} Enduring Word – David Guzik

His preserving power

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.. Psalm 121:8 New King James v. It's a beautiful phrase in the verse 8: "The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in" that's another way of saying: "in every event of life." And then, the last line: "from this time forth, and even forevermore" that's a way of saying: "at all time " will God do this. How we can thank and praise our God for His preserving power in our lifes! See the full Bible comment about Ps121 in David Guzik's website: Enduringword.com

The man after God's own heart

Image
David Guzik – enduringword.com ..let's talk about the man after God's own heart, reading from 1 Samuel chapter 13 verses 13 and 14. “You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said {to king Saul}. “You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command.” NIV King Saul sinned foolishly before the Lord. He failed to keep God's commandment and Saul made excuses instead of getting right with God. It wasn't only that Saul sinned, the sin came from a heart far from God. Therefore God promised to take the kingdom away from Saul and his family. Through the prophet Samuel, God told Saul, 'but now your kingdom shall not continue'. From these words, we might expect Saul to be removed as king right at that m...

A 23. Zsoltárban – got questions A 23. zsoltár A 23. zsoltár egy gyönyörű költemény, amely Isten pásztori képét használja. Dávid, aki ezt a zsoltárt írta, maga is pásztor volt, és megértette a párhuzamot a juhairól gondoskodó pásztor és az Ő népéről gondoskodó Isten feladata között. A juhok teljesen a pásztortól függenek élelem, víz, vezetés és útmutatás tekintetében, miközben egyik helyről a másikra vándorolnak, ahogy mi is Istentől függünk mindenben, amire szükségünk van. A juhok a pásztortól függnek, hogy megvédje őket a legkülönbözőbb ragadozóktól és veszélyektől, ahogy mi is Istenre, mint védelmezőnkre és védelmezőnkre tekintünk. Az Újszövetségben Jézus úgy nyilatkoztatja ki magát, mint népe Jó Pásztora (János 10:11, 14), beteljesítve azt az ószövetségi próféciát, miszerint Isten eljön, hogy pásztorolja népét (Ezékiel 34:7-16, 23). A Zsoltárok 23:4 vers az Úr Pásztort szólítva ezt mondja: "A te vessződ és botod vigasztal engem" . Dávid ezt a leírást a ko...

What are the rod and staff in Psalm 23?

Image
by GotQuestions.org Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ... Psalm 23 is a beautiful poem that uses the image of God as shepherd. David, who penned this psalm, had been a shepherd himself and understood the parallel between the task of a shepherd caring for his sheep and of God caring for His people. Sheep are totally dependent on the shepherd for food, water, leadership, and guidance as they move from place to place, just as we are dependent upon God for all that we need. Sheep depend on the shepherd for protection from a wide range of predators and dangers, just as we look to God as our Protector and Defender. I...

Seeing with a God - lens

Image
by Ryan Kelly - Crossway.org David’s life has been plagued by a steady stream of enemies, but in the end, the Lord has “delivered him from the hand of all his enemies” (2 Sam. 22:1). As David looks back in reflection on his life, he writes not a lament about how many enemies he’s had to face but a praise song for how much deliverance and faithfulness the Lord has shown. David’s praise is far from mild or timid. He describes God’s deliverances with extreme language: cracking open the earth, devouring with fire, riding on a cherub, shooting lightning like arrows, and so forth (vv. 8–20). Of course, David has in mind events that looked much less apocalyptic than this—like his getting out of Gath by acting crazy (1 Sam. 21:10–15; cf. Psalm 34). But he knows what kind of God it is who works in unseen ways. Thus, his praise for God is lively and lofty. Questions Let’s pause here to ask ourselves some questions: · When I reflect on my life, do I interpret things th...

The voice of the Lord

Image
Psalm 29 Ascribe to Yahweh, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due His name; worship Yahweh in the splendor of His holiness. The voice of the Lord is above the waters. The God of glory thunders — the Lord, above vast waters, the voice of the Lord in power, the voice of the Lord in splendor. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion, like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the woodlands bare. In His temple all cry, “Glory!” The Lord sat enthroned at the flood; the Lord sits enthroned, King forever. The Lord gives His people strength; the Lord blesses His people with peace.

He went in but didn't die

The King's worship... King David built his own tent for the Ark of the Covenant. And he survived that... King David, the great kingdom-unifier and psalmist, lived a truly extraordinary life. He had a close relationship with God from a young age and nothing changed once he came to power. Despite the fact that the Law clearly states where and how the Holy of Holies is to be built David built his own tent for the Ark. He had a want to serve and adore the Lord of Israel. The Law also states that only the high Priest and only once on a single day may enter the presence of the Lord. David was not bothered by this either. King David had so much desire to be with the Lord, so much need to live according to His mighty heart, that he built that tent for the personal worship, for adoration, praise and honor, and {we should not forget} for the representation of his worship before the nation. He di...

Jézus két ima modellje

Image
Hogyan és hol imádkozzunk? pre Az eredeti bibliai imaforma szerint érdemes imádkoznunk. Sok könyv szól az ima előnyeiről és csodatévő hatásairól, de jobb, ha Jézus Krisztus imamodelljére összpontosítunk. Két különböző ÚSZ. tanításunk van a bibliai imamodellről. Az első a jól ismert ima vázlat, amelyet a Mt. 6. rész jegyez fel. "A" modell – "Mi Atyánk" Mennyei Atyánk, szenteltessék meg a te neved. Jöjjön el a te országod, legyen meg a te akaratod, miképpen a mennyben, úgy a földön is. Mindennapi kenyerünket add meg nekünk ma, és bocsásd meg vétkeink {engedd el adósságainkat}, miképpen mi is megbocsátunk az ellenünk vétőknek {adósainknak}. És ne vígy minket kísértésbe, hanem szabadíts meg minket a gonosztól. Mt 6:9-13 Ebben a posztmodern, rohanó világban két olyan dolgot érdemes itt felfrissíteni, ami a modern ember számára talán nem nyilvánvaló. - "Szenteltessék meg" - jelentése "szent legyen / szentként tisztelt legyen". ...

Jesus' two prayer models

Image
How should we pray? pre We have to pray according to the original Christian form of prayer. There are many books on the benefits and miraculous effects of prayer, but it is better to focus on the prayer model of Jesus Christ. We have two different NT. teachings about the biblical prayer model. The first is the well-known outline, recorded in Mt. 6: model A - The "Our Father" prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Mt 6:9-13 In this postmodern, fast-paced world, there are two things worth refreshing here that may not be obvious to the modern man. "Hallowed" - means "revered as holy / saint". "Your name" - actually Your name s must be proclaimed , respected and reflected in our lifes. ...
