Psalm 22

1 thought on “Psalm 22”

1. Observations:
   The Psalmist opens this psalm with the words that christ spoke from the cross. They are the words of a God believer in deep despair, anguish and pain. They are the cries of a child of the Kingdom. David recites past history when the mighty hand of God saved His people. The people trusted the Lord as he does and yet he finds no deliverance as the people of Israel.
   In the time of trouble, the Lord God is still his strength and David asks for deliverance. He continues to declare His name and tells that those who seek Him will be satisfied . God rules. He is in charge. He has dominion. He rules. Tell the next generation that our God reigns! Our world belongs to God.

   Application:
   Remember that the Lord my God is God. He is my Father and I need to tell my Father all – joys and sorrows, highlights and lowlights, closeness or distance in my relations with Him. He is my father and I must share all, not only with hHim but share also my relationship with Him to the next generations so they too see that my God reigns. Future generations need to be told about the mighty acts of God. I need to be a ‘proclaimer’ – telling and sharing what the Lord has done for me.

   Prayer:
   Empower me Lord to be a Proclaimer – your champion.

   1. God gives His people strength.
   If we believe in His way, He’s swift to repay
   All those who bear the burden of the day
   God gives His people strength.

   2. God gives His people hope
   If we but trust in His word, our prayers are always heard
   He warmly welcomes anyone who’s erred.
   God gives His people hope.

   3. God gives His people love
   If we but open wide our hearts, He’s sure to do His part
   He’s always the first to make a start.
   God gives His people love.

   4. God gives His people peace.
   When sorrow fills us to the brim, and courage grows dim
   He lays to rest our restlessness in Him.
   God gives His people peace.
