Ashes-Capsule(ps57:2)

Psalm 57:2 I will cry out to God,Most High,to God who performs all things for me

 

Thought 1:This Psalm begins with the verse where the Psalmist wants hide under the Shadow of God’s wings, from all the calamities that was around Him. He picturizes Himself to be like a small chicken that runs to its Mother, to rest under her shadow from the cruel beasts seeking to devour. In verse 2,He goes on to do one more thing, He will cry OUT TO GOD! He is not ashamed of telling that. When all is hopeless, in midst of so many calamities, Psalmist says HE WILL CRY OUT TO GOD. The Psalmist also understands that His God is Most High. May I hear a hallelujah. He says God is MOST HIGH. let not this revelation depart from us.He is the MOST HIGH. Higher than your managers, your friends, your rulers,your enemies, your diseases, your woes, your struggles.He is seated on a HIGH AND EXALTED THRONE. Yes our God is Most High. Will you cry out to Him in midst of your calamity???

 

Thought 2:He also understands, that He is a God who is MOST HIGH yet so approachable, so near that God performs all things for us. Absolutely all things.In your work place, Its His presence that works FOR YOU. Its He who protects you.Its He who opens new ways for you. He performs all things for you.He maintains the universe and also your body such that all body organs perform well. He is all for you. Paul later gets this and says” IF GOD BE FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US”. He also says”I can do all things thorugh Christ who strengthens me”.Child of God, God performs all things for you.Will you take off that element of “leaning on ur own understanding”? Will you allow Him to work..yes He is for you and He will perform all things for you.

 

Introspection

1)When is the last time that you felt the Lord as MOST HIGH??

2)What was your response to that??

 

 

Application

1)In your workplace,in midst of calamities,do what the Psalmist did,Cry out to HIM……

2)Allow Him to perform ALL THINGS FOR YOU!!Do not TEACH HIM what to do..Humbly walk in His way.
