"Look To The Lord ... "

Look to the Lord for help. Pray that the Lord's Name will be glorified.
------

We look at what's going on in our world today. We hear the enemies of the Lord saying, "Where is their God?" So many people are turning away from the Lord. They no longer worship Him. We wonder if things can be turned around. It would be so easy to give up and go the way of the world. This is what we must not do. We must keep on praying - "How long, O Lord? Will You be angry for ever?" We must look to the Lord for help - "Help us, O God of our salvation." We must look to "our Saviour" for deliverance and forgiveness. We must pray that the Lord's Name will be glorified. How is the Name of the Lord to be glorified in today's world? It must begin with us - "We, Your people, the flock which You shepherd, will give thanks to You forever. We will praise You throughout every generation" (Psalm 79:5 , 9-10, 13).

What Is More Important To You - Your Own Reputation Or The Glory Of God?

2 Samuel 16:1-23
What is more important to you - your own reputation or the glory of God? ‘Curse David’- This was the last thing David wanted to hear. It may, however, have been what he needed to hear. Here, we see David’s true spiritual stature. This was not a ‘feel good’ message. David recognized that this might be what the Lord was saying to him (10). He speaks against us so that we might learn to stop speaking against Him. He speaks of His righteousness that we might see our own unrighteousness. He speaks of His judgment that we might see how hopeless our situation is without Christ. He speaks of our sin that we might be brought to Christ for salvation (John 16:8-11; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-2:2). Let there be no more talk of your righteousness. Confess your sins and trust the Saviour.
