Based on Psalm 75

Based on Psalm 75

God will help us, God sees us, God walks with us, and He's going to guide us. So it doesn't really matter what we come up against. We might come up against interference from members of our family. We might come up against interference from people in our place of business. It doesn't matter what we face. The Lord sees and is going to take care of us.

 

This should be a restful time or a time to get some rest or spend time with family, but the more important time that we should spend is with the Lord and being grateful. We should chiefly remember the following things:

 

  • No matter what's happening, God is sovereign.
  • God's the ultimate judge, and God has the authority.
  • There is justice. Sometimes justice seems to tarry, but there is justice.

 

We can just kind of lean into being humble and try to trust the Lord. The concept of lifting up one's horn in the psalm is a warning against just indulging in our own pride and arrogance. It may seem at times that "where is God?" or He seems nowhere to be found, but we have to trust in God's timing in all things.

PSALM 75 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
