    THE TENDER MERCY OF A JEALOUS GOD. Psalm 79:1-9. Despite what our first impression may have been, this is not a general lament about all the ills of the world but rather a particular lament about something afflicting the people of God. And even then, it is not just about ‘us’ but more so ...read more

    Jesus at the Cross, as Prophet, praying Priest, and saving King.

    THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Luke 23:1-49. LUKE 23:1-12. The Jewish authorities had no power to put Jesus to death. The sceptre had at last departed from Judah (Genesis 49:10) and, far from raising a mob to seize it back as they accused Him (Luke 23:5), Jesus willingly allowed Himself to be ...read more

    Praying as those who are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

    A BOLD APPROACH. Psalm 26:1-8. We do not know what specific trouble that David was facing in PSALM 26, but it has all the hallmarks of a man pleading his case before God based on his INTEGRITY. Unfortunately, this is sometimes translated as blamelessness, which all sounds very arrogant and ...read more

    To pray in Jesus’ name is to come through His perfection.

    God ties the accomplishing of His will to His people’s willingness to pray. He looks for "watchmen" who are committed to pray unceasingly and persistently for the fulfilment of His promises.

    Isaiah 62:6-7 “I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.” In Isaiah’s time the cities of the Middle East ...read more
