Psalm 79
A Psalm by Asaph.
79:1 God, the nations have come into your inheritance.
They have defiled your holy temple.
They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
79:2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky,
the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
79:3 Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem.
There was no one to bury them.
79:4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
79:5 How long, Yahweh?
Will you be angry forever?
Will your jealousy burn like fire?
79:6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you;
on the kingdoms that don't call on your name;
79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
79:8 Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.
Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
79:9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
79:10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?
" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes,
that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you.
According to the greatness of your power,
preserve those who are sentenced to death.
79:12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom
their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
79:13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever.
We will praise you forever, to all generations.

Daniel 8 - Worlds In Conflict
We are looking today at an intriguing piece of Scripture - Daniel 8! In Chapter 7, the prophet Daniel had a dream of 4 animals, which were a winged lion, a bear, a winged leopard and a beast.
v1-4 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first. I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
v27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
Here in Daniel 8, we look together at the bear, which is described here as a ram, and a winged leopard that is described as a goat. Unlike his previous two visions which occurred at night, this one occurs during the day. Daniel was transported in the Spirit to Susa, a major city of the Babylon & Persian empires. He sat down beside the Ulai canal, nine hundred feet wide and connected two large rivers so that boats could easily pass from one to the other. Spiritually seated by the river, he lifted up his eyes. He saw a ram, a male sheep, that had two horns, and as he watched, one of its horns became larger than the other.

17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak. (Isaiah 59:17)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full Armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full Armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. (Ephesians 6:10-20)
To help His people resist satan and to fight spiritual warfare, God has designed spiritual Armor for Christians to wear during our constant battle with sin & temptation. That’s what Paul talks about in Ephesians 6! This Armor is what God wears according to Isaiah 59:17, when He goes out to battle!
Today we explore the Christian in Spiritual Armor, answering questions including: What is “Spiritual Armor?” How is it used by God to help the Christian believer? How is the Spiritual Armor “worn” by the Christian?

Psalm 28
1 To you, Yahweh, I call.
My rock, don’t be deaf to me; lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions,
when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbours,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their work,
and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
8 Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

Psalm 103
(read by Pammy)
103:1 Praise Yahweh, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name!
103:2 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits;
103:3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
103:4 who redeems your life from destruction;
who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
103:5 who satisfies your desire with good things,
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
103:6 Yahweh executes righteous acts,
and justice for all who are oppressed.
103:7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the children of Israel.
103:8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
103:9 He will not always accuse;
neither will he stay angry forever.
103:10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor repaid us for our iniquities.
103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
~~~~~~~~~~
103:12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
103:13 Like a father has compassion on his children,
so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.
103:14 For he knows how we are made.
He remembers that we are dust.
103:15 As for man, his days are like grass.
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
103:16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone.
Its place remembers it no more.
103:17 But Yahweh's loving kindness is from
everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,
his righteousness to children's children;
103:18 to those who keep his covenant,
to those who remember to obey his precepts.
103:19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens.
His kingdom rules over all.
103:20 Praise Yahweh, you angels of his,
who are mighty in strength,
who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
103:21 Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his,
you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
103:22 Praise Yahweh, all you works of his,
in all places of his dominion.
Praise Yahweh, my soul!

Psalm 95
(read by Carol)
95:1 Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
95:2 Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs!
95:3 For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.
95:4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
95:5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
95:6 Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
95:7 for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care.
Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
95:8 Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
95:9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
95:10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."
95:11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."

Psalm 19
19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
19:2 Day after day they pour forth speech,
and night after night they display knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
19:4 Their voice has gone out through all the earth,
their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
19:5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room,
like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
his circuit to its ends;
There is nothing hidden from its heat.
19:7 Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
Yahweh’s testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
19:8 Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
19:9 The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever.
Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is your servant warned.
In keeping them there is great reward.
19:12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive me from hidden errors.
19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I will be upright.
I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.
99:8 You answered them, Yahweh our God.
You are a God who forgave them,
although you took vengeance for their doings.
99:9 Exalt Yahweh, our God.
Worship at his holy hill, for Yahweh, our God, is holy!

Worship
I wonder what you think worship is! Is your view of worship too small? Worship is giving God alone (Psalm 19:2), the glory due His name in the beauty of His holiness (1 Chronicles 16:29), with reverence.
“Yes, ascribe to the Lord! The glory due his name! Bring an offering and come before him; Worship the Lord when clothed with holiness!” (1 Chronicles 16:29)
Worship is where through the use of the mind and the senses, honour and respect are directed towards God, “in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24)! Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’
Come and explore with us, more about what worship of God is, why God is to be worshipped and how the Christian should worship God!

Bible Thought - A Prayer of Dave
Today's Bible Thought concerns a Prayer of King David from 1 Chronicles 29:10-20 Together we find out some keys about prayer from King David - Israel's greatest King and known as a man after God's own heart!

10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,
“Praise be to you, Lord,
the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.
14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 15 We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you. 18 Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. 19 And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, statutes and decrees and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”
20 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Praise the Lord your God.” So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed down, prostrating themselves before the Lord and the king.
