Exposition
Depart from me, all you
workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. The
LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer - Reading this Psalm from the beginning before our text tells us that
the writer must have been in great physical pain. He also believed that his
suffering was a result of God’s displeasure with him. Despite his thinking that
his situation was a result of punishment by God, he still turned to God for the
solution.
You will always have a choice of who to turn to when the inevitable
challenges arrive at your doorstep. It is your responsibility to make the right
choice. In affliction the writer turned to God as his helper in the time of
distress. God is our ever present help in times of trouble. When we are wounded,
He cures, when we are down, He is the lifter up of our head. Looking elsewhere
is a waste of time as no one has the capacity to solve problems completely
except the Almighty God because with Him all things are possible.
The writer groaned and he cried. You should understand that you can go
to God without hiding your feelings. It is alright to cry to your Maker. He
promises to turn sorrow into joy. Be certain that Jesus Christ is interceding on
your behalf and God will not turn away from His Son.
Be convinced that God hears your petitions and He sees what you are
going through. The bible says the fervent prayer of the righteous avails much –
makes a difference and your prayers will always be heard in Jesus name. The
Holy Spirit in you will always help you pray in a manner that will cause God to
answer speedily. Isaiah 65:24 says,
and it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they
are yet speaking, I will hear.
Hold on to this promise. It is well with you in Jesus name.
Prayer
Jehovah, I
call on you this day, heal my hurts. So many things bring tears to my eyes, let
my tears have a voice, wipe away my tears and let your name be glorified. I
know my righteousness is as filthy rags before you, let the righteousness of
Christ wash me clean today and always in Jesus name.
You have
said while I am yet speaking, you will hear me. Let it be so in Jesus mighty
name. Amen
