11/01/14 Psalm 132:6-12
We heard that the Ark was in Ephrathah; then we found it in the distant countryside of Jaar. 7 Let us go to the dwelling place of the LORD; let us bow low before him. 8 Arise, O LORD, and enter your sanctuary, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. 9 Your priests will be agents of salvation; may your loyal servants sing for joy. 10 For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you chose for your people. 11 The LORD swore to David a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne. 12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and follow the decrees that I teach them, then your royal line will never end.”

10/31 Psalm 132:1
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. LORD, remember David and all that he suffered. 2 He took an oath before the LORD. He vowed to the Mighty One of Israel, 3 “I will not go home; I will not let myself rest. 4 I will not let my eyes sleep nor close my eyelids in slumber 5 until I find a place to build a house for the LORD, a sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel.”
SANCTUARY
David knew that the Lord was first and that without Him he could do nothing. Come into His sanctuary, into His presence and spend time with Him. Jesus is Lord and He is seeking time with you.
10/30 Psalm 131:3
O Israel, put your hope in the LORD — now and always.
ONLY
Jesus is our only hope. No government, no amount of money, no birth, no other death nothing can give us hope, lasting hope except Jesus. He comes to you and me from the Father. He is our bright and guiding light. Jesus is our salvation. He gives us a relationship with God the Father. He is Lord and HE is our only hope.
10/29 Psalm 131:1
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me. 2 But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.
QUIET
When we quiet our heart it is amazing at how loudly the Lord speaks. Listen to Jesus. He wants to be with you. He is seeking to tell you the right way to go, the right thing to do and how much He loves you. Jesus is Lord.
10/28 Psalm 130:7
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love and an overflowing supply of salvation. 8 He himself will free Israel from every kind of sin.
FREE
We talk about being free. We strive to be free. Yet only in the Lord Jesus Christ by His salvation and forgiveness can I find real freedom. Jesus breaks the chains of sin, gives us a new heart and a new way of living. Jesus is Lord.
10/27 Psalm 130:6
I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn.
YEARN
I yearn for the very presence of the Lord. I want to see Him to be with Him to be in His physical presence. This is more than a passing thought. My heart literally aches to be with the Lord.
10/26 Psalm 130:5
I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word.

10/25 Psalm 130:3-4
LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? 4 But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you.

We live under the weight of sin. Jesus gives us forgiveness. We need forgiveness. People that we come into contact with need forgiveness. We are forgiven and we are called to forgive. Jesus is Lord.
10/24 Psalm 130:1-2
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help. 2 Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer.
CRY
In your time of trouble you can cry out to the Lord. Jesus will hear you and He will save you. He is Lord of all including your need. Pray many times each day. Jesus is listening to you.
10/23 Psalm 129:5-7
May all who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shameful defeat. 6 May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown, 7 ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder. 8 And may those who pass by refuse to give them this blessing: “The LORD’s blessings be upon you; we bless you in the LORD’s name.”
BLESS
We are blessed in Jesus. He brings the Father’s blessing to us. Do not be anxious for Jesus has overcome the world and He will not leave you.
