Week of August 8, 2010, Psalm 32:12-22
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is from Psalm 32, verses 12-22. The entire psalm is a call to praise the Lord, and this section gives us the reasons why we praise God:
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-
15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
Dear Lord, You are a great God, awesome and mighty, and You are our God, and we are Your people. You have formed the hearts of all, and You consider everything we do. From Your dwelling place, You watch all things – everything, everywhere is under Your watchful eye. A great army does not save, a warrior with great strength cannot save himself, we cannot save ourselves from deliverance without Your help and power, O God. But Your eyes are on all those who fear You, on all of us who hope in Your unfailing love. For You deliver from death. You save. You rescue. It is not by our might or by our mind, but by Your Spirit, Lord, that we move and have our being. Your Spirit fills us, heals us, strengthens us.
We wait in hope on You, Lord. For You are our help and our shield – our Provider and our Protector. Our hearts rejoice in You, and we trust in Your holy name.
Jesus, thanks for Your unfailing love, Your overwhelming peace, Your powerful presence with us always. Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

For God is our Hope and our Help and our Shield. May we be more and more aware of God’s presence in us and God working in our lives each day.
