To sit and read this ancient prayer… a prayer, deep, honest, and heartfelt. A prayer of praise and blessings to the God who keeps His Word. A call to faithfulness by God’s people. A prayer that recognizes God’s grace and prays that God’s grace would abound when sin and failure are confessed and repented of.
This is not a prayer of cheap grace and automatic forgiveness for sin. No, it prays for hearts that turn back to the Lord and are received back by the Lord into fellowship.
This is a tremendous prayer for a Saturday, the eve of corporate worship…
I think I will go back and use this prayer as a platform for my morning prayer today…
Join me, with Bibles open, recognizing that the promises to David were ultimately fulfilled in Jesus:
LORD, the God of Israel, the God of Your church, there is no God like you in Heaven above or on earth below—You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. You have kept your promise to your servant David and now Jesus, son of David & son of God sits enthroned for eternity as King of kings and Lord of Lords. …
Give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in Your presence this day. May Your eyes be open toward Your people night and day… Hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people when they pray to You. Hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive…
When we sin, forgive… call us to repentance and forgive our sins and restore us to unhindered fellowship with You.
Oh, God, thank You for keeping promises, for sending Jesus and the fulfillment of all You promised to David and his descendants. I praise You and I bless Your holy name… King above all kings. God above all gods. Amen.
