What a great reminder that whenever we are troubled or things don’t look great, that we always need to be praising God and thanking him for things that he’s already done! He deserves all of the Praise and glory!
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
*at an acceptable time. On HIS Tim. Great reminder ❤️
35 For God will save Zion
and build up the cities of Judah,
and people shall dwell there and possess it;
36 the offspring of his servants shall inherit it,
and those who love his name shall dwell in it.
I’m reading a book right now called Inspired and just read about the Psalms! Especially the bad ones! We have a tendency to glaze over and ignore them, but here David is lamenting to and pleading with God in 69! Psalms show we can go to God and just vent with him
The Bible so rightly teaches us how to pray: “but as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.”
I got goosebumps from reading Psalm 69, because it foreshadows perfectly and sublimely the experience of Jesus on earth. It just reinforces to me that the Bible is one whole, not two parts, and everything points to Jesus.
Psalm 69:13 “But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time;
O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with Your saving truth.”
This has been one of my favorite prayer verses for a while now. A good reminder to pray in all circumstances and to wait patiently for the Lord’s answer.
Love Psalm 28:19: “Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears us up;
God is our salvation.” I selfishly wish “daily” could be longer, but then I remember my desperate need for grace every hour, every minute. Thank you, Lord, for providing the way of salvation!
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my mother’s sons.
This verse struck me today. When my heart changed, so did the rest of me. My behavior, my language, the movies/shows I watch, etc. I now have friends who don’t know me. I believe this is a big part of why my first marriage ended. I became a stranger to him, walking in the light and hating the darkness. We no longer walked the same path. Some friends have also been saved and their lives have changed too. There are others who still prefer the other path. Once the Holy Spirit came to live in me, it changed me. To try to live they previous way makes me feel dirty in my own skin. My prayer is that those friends who still walk on the other path will not become such strangers that we can no longer connect and that they can see what God has in store for them through me.
I just love David’s heart! Even when he is troubled, his lips praise God! I wrote down so many verses from these Psalms today. May my heart leap at chances to give PRAISE to the One who deserves it all, even when I could faint by what my eyes see in front of me.
Reading these two chapters in isolation has really highlighted for me the consistency of David’s praise despite his circumstances. What amazing commitment to the Lord! I’ll be praying about this today, whatever circumstances emerge :) …

A father to the fatherless ; you set the lonely in families
“and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink.”
I love catching all the hints of Jesus in the Old Testament, which He fulfills!

Thank you, Sarah! Wise words!
35Awesome is God from his sanctuary;

Blessed be God! -ellie

Oh this was so good! It was like fresh water to my soul! I feel renewed! (Speaking of Psalm 69!)

This Psalm got me through one of the toughest times in my life. What a comforting Word
I love how David walks us through the mountains and valleys in psalm 69. He starts with the affliction and pain, yet ends in praise. Beautiful.
My take away too. Amen.
Blessed is the Lord who daily lifts us up, a God is our salvation! Daily! Amen
20 Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.
Our God saves! I just want to rest in those words today..
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who is our salvation. Selah.
Yes…that verse. Selah.
Yes! And that He is always my Salvation!

I love that also! Amen!
