Prayer

Psalm 99

English Standard Version (ESV)

99 ^(A)The Lord reigns; ^(B)let the peoples tremble!
    He ^(C)sits enthroned upon the cherubim; ^(D)let the earth quake!
² The Lord is ^(E)great in Zion;
    he is ^(F)exalted over all the peoples.
³ Let them praise your ^(G)great and awesome name!
    ^(H)Holy is he!
^4 (I)The King in his might ^(J)loves justice.^[a]
    You have established equity;
you have executed justice
    and righteousness in Jacob.
^5 (K)Exalt the Lord our God;
    ^(L)worship at his ^(M)footstool!
    ^(N)Holy is he!

^6 (O)Moses and Aaron were among his ^(P)priests,
    Samuel also was among those who ^(Q)called upon his name.
    They ^(R)called to the Lord, and he answered them.
⁷ In ^(S)the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;
    they ^(T)kept his testimonies
    and the statute that he gave them.

⁸ O Lord our God, you answered them;
    you were ^(U)a forgiving God to them,
    but ^(V)an avenger of their wrongdoings.
⁹ Exalt the Lord our God,
    and worship at his ^(W)holy mountain;
    for the Lord our God is holy!

Oh how often do I forget to worship God?  I don’t forget to pray but in those prayers I forget to exalt His name above all names.  I give Him my cares, I ask for His peace, His comfort, and even His strength but I forget how strong He really is and I forget to give Him praise.  I love hearing children pray because they come to the throne with more thanksgiving than they do wants or needs.  For me it is usually the opposite and I have to remember that I have more to be thankful for than I do heartache and pain.

Today as we go to the throne of our God today and seek Him, let’s remember who He really is.  The LORD our God is Holy!!!!!

Seeking Him with all my heart,
