Today’s Feast
How Shall We Sing the Lord's Song?
In all things give thanks to the Lord!
December 7, 2013 – Psalms 137-138
Psalms 137
“The Jews bewail their captivity. (1-4)
Their affection for Jerusalem. (5-9)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Psalms 138
“The psalmist praises God for answering
prayer. (1-5) The Lord's dealing with the humble and the proud. (6-8)”
- Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our
Feast in Psalms 137-138. In Psalms 137
The Psalmist disdains the
captivity of the Israelites and the fact that their captors are mocking by
making them sing songs. Being captives
they are asking God to let the Edomites enemies succeed against them. “8 O daughter
of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, blessed shall he be who repays you with
what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones
and dashes them against the rock!” Psalms 137:8-9 - English Standard Version
(ESV). While suffering, we should recall
with repentance and sorrow our lost blessings. Without complaint own up to and repent for our
current sinful state asking Jesus to forgive us (see 1 John 1:9). In Psalms
138 The psalmist is
giving thanks to the God of Israel. Reminding us the different way God deals
with the proud vs. the humble. “7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve
my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your
right hand delivers me. 8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your
steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your
hands.” Psalm 138:7-8 - ESV. Whenever we don’t like the way anything in
life is turning, it is not the time to complain. It is time to humbly turn to God in Jesus
name and ask him to alter the circumstances (See 2 Chronicles 7:14). “25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the
life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,” John 11:25 . In
all things singing songs and giving thanks in Jesus name.
Thank
God from whom all blessings flow. Hallelujah!
