To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

BOW DOWN YOUR EAR, O LORD, HEAR ME; FOR I AM POOR AND NEEDY
(Psalm 86:1)

In one way or another, we can all relate to Psalm 86:1 where
David says, “I am poor and needy”. Even the richest among us should understand
that poverty and need relate more to the spirit than to the wallet. When
billionaire Rich DeVos speaks to groups he often says, “I’m just a sinner saved
by grace.”

Psalm 86 tells us that the help God provides is not measured
by a monetary ledger sheet. When we acknowledge that we are poor and needy,
it’s not so God will lavish material riches on us. No! We do so to open the
door to other, more valuable treasures.

Here’s what God does for the poor and needy. He will
“preserve” our lives and “save” all those who trust in Him (v.2). He will be
“merciful” and “ready to forgive” (vv.3, 5). He will listen to and answer our
prayers (vv.6, 7).

But we’re not to take God’s blessings without giving back.
We have a responsibility to learn God’s ways, walk in His truth, “fear [God’s]
name,” praise the Lord, and “glorify [His] name” (vv.11-12).

Do you consider
yourself among the “poor and needy?” if so, welcome to the club. Let’s not
forget all the spiritual blessings. God has for us and the godly response we
should have towards His generosity – Dave Branon

We’re thankful for the blessings, Lord,

You give us day by day;

Now help us show our gratitude

By walking in your way, O Lord! Amen! – sper

The poorest man is he
whose only wealth is money

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria
and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!
