“Give Your Strength To Your Servant”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 86
The strength of God is His Word. The strength of God is available to the Believer through unity with God.
Unity with God is by His Word. We become one with God by receiving His Word in faith. Remember, Jesus Christ is this Word of God.
We have the strength of God when we have unity with God through His Word.
David prays for the strength of God.
Let’s read:
Psalm 86:1-5 “Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. [2] Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. [3] Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. [4] Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. [5] For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.”
This forgiveness is in a Person. We receive the forgiveness of God when we receive the Person of Jesus Christ.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 86:6-9 “Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. [7] In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. [8] Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. [9] All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.”
The prophet David saw into the future throne of Christ the Slain Lamb.
Revelation 7:9-10 “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; [10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”
All nations shall be represented at that Holy throne.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 86:10-12 “For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. [11] Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. [12] I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.”
His way is His Word. His Way is the Cross.
We unite our hearts with Him through death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and now one with Him in the Person of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit that was in Christ when He walked on earth.
Our identification with Christ causes us to walk in His Name, His truth, glorifying Him forevermore.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 86:13-16 “For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. [14] O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. [15] But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. [16] O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.”
His strength comes to us only through our unity with Him. It comes no other way. We are weak and frail without unity with God.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 86:17 “Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.”
The token of His good was shown to Rahab when she by faith tied the scarlet thread to her window.
Joshua 6:22-23,25 “But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. [23] And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel. [25] And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.”
The Blood is always the Token of God.
Exodus 12:13 “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”
The Token of His good is His shed blood on Calvary.
Let the token of His good cover you. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His strength is accessible, only in Christ!
