Daily Manna 10 May
KEY VERSE: Psalm 92:13,14 – those that Be Planted in The House of The Lord Shall Flourish in The Courts of Our God. They Shall Still Bring Forth Fruit in Old Age; They Shall Be Fat and Flourishing.
READ: Psalm 92:1-15 (KJV)
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
2 To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night,
3 On an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound.
4 For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
5 O Lord, how great are Your works!
Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.
8 But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.
9 For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
15 To declare that the Lord is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

In This Psalm, the Lord Addresses Troubling Issues that Man Has Contended with Over the Centuries. how Come the Wicked Flourish and Spring up Like the Grass? Why Do They Rise up Against the Righteous? Will the Lord Not Hold the Enemies of The Gospel in Check and Stop Them from Disturbing the Peace of His People? These Questions Were of Much Concern to The Psalmist as They Were in The Day of God-Fearing Job, Who Sought to Know Why He Suffered.
In the First Three Verses the Psalmist, Ahead of Hearing from Heaven with Regard to His Worries, Showers Praises on God “upon an Instrument of Ten Strings, and Upon the Psaltery; upon The Harp with A Solemn Sound.” Entering the Presence of The Lord with Praises, He Is Made to Understand Deep Truths About the Seemingly Prosperous Ungodly People. the Wealth They Worship Will Not Take Them to Heaven, if They Do Not Turn to God. “they Shall Be Destroyed for Ever.”
How About Those Who Aim for The Riches of Heaven and Not of This Earth? God’s Justice System Will Exalt Their “horn Like the Horn of An Unicorn”. This Is Symbolic of Power and Royalty. the Psalmist Goes for More Emblems of Blessedness to Show What Awaits the Unyielding Believer. He Will Prosper Like a Palm Tree and Possess the Strength of A Cedar Wood. He Will Also Be Fruitful in Old Age, a Rare Feat for Worldly Senior Citizens.
The Believer Who Has Left the World and Its Riches Behind Must Not Be Drawn Back when He Sees Glittering Gold Beckoning on Him. Such Will Not Take Him Into the Kingdom of God. God’s Inestimable Riches Are Not for Those Greedy for Earthly Wealth, Fame and Power. They Are Strictly for Those Waiting Patiently and Righteously for The Son of God to Come and Take Them to Heaven.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Faith in Jesus Is More Precious than Transient Fame.
