Psalm 123, 124, 125 - Day 966 (link to reading)

Scripture: Psalm 123

Commentary (enduring word.org): This psalm is simply titled A Song of Ascents. It is another in the series of psalms sung by pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem at feast time. These songs give us a pattern of preparation to meet with God and His people.

“This Psalm (as ye see) is but short, and therefore a very fit example to show the force of prayer not to consist in many words, but in fervency of spirit. For great and weighty matters may be comprised in a few words, if they proceed from the spirit and the unspeakable groanings of the heart, especially when our necessity is such as will not suffer any long prayer. Every prayer is long enough if it be fervent and proceed from a heart that understandeth the necessity of the saints.” (Martin Luther, cited in Charles Spurgeon)

Application: God already knows what we're going to ask, even before we think about what we need.  However, He invites us to participate with HIm in changing the world.

Prayer: Lord, be magnified...
