TUESDAY MANNA 10 SEPTEMBER ‘24

“LET THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED IN ALL THAT YOU GO THROUGH!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“Adonai, although you would be in the right if I were to dispute with you, nevertheless, I want to discuss some points of justice with You: Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the treacherous all thrive?” (Jeremiah 12:1).

Uncompromisingly, righteous and rigidly just are You, O Lord, Adonai Yahweh, when I complain against and contend with You. Yet let me plead and reason the case with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all they at ease and thriving who deal very treacherously and deceitfully?

Like profane mockers at feasts making sport for the price of a cake they gnashed at me with their teeth. Lord, how long will You look on without action? Rescue my life from their destructions, my dear and only life from the lions!

I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among a mighty throng. Let not those who are wrongfully my foes rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without cause.

For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against those who are quiet in the land. Yes, they open their mouths wide against me; they say, Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen it!

You have seen this, O Lord; keep not silence! O Lord, be not far from me! Arouse Yourself, awake to the justice due me, even to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Judge and vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness (Your rightness and justice); and let my foes not rejoice over me! Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, that is what we wanted! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up and utterly destroyed him.

Let them be put to shame and confusion together who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonour who magnify and exalt themselves over me!

Let those who favour my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

My tongue shall talk of Your righteousness, rightness, and justice, and of my reasons for Your praise all the day long in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

Somebody shout, “PRAISE THE LORD!”

Shalom and good morning.
Dr. Daniel O. C.
