Shalom,

I have been meditating today on Psalm 44:1-3:

To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah. A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem.

1 We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us [what] work You did in their days, in the days of old. 2 You drove out the nations with Your hand and it was Your power that gave [Israel] a home by rooting out the [heathen] peoples, but [Israel] You spread out. 3 For they got not the land [of Canaan] in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance [did it], because You were favorable toward and did delight in them.

Notice first of all that the sub-heading of this Psalm says that it is a skillful song, as the Psalms were sung in worship, but it is also a "didactic" or reflective poem. "Didactic" means: intended to teach. There is something that Israel then, and we believers now, are to be learning from this! That is where meditation comes in  (Joshua 1:8)! As born again believers, we have the Spirit of God living IN us and one of His roles is as our Teacher (John 14:26)! HE is the One Who makes the Word come alive to us so that we can understand it and then obey it. So, what have I been understanding from this? The Jewish people have been persecuted, hated, tortured and even murdered over the years simply because of WHOSE they were! It was NOT their great warrior qualities that caused them to be able to defeat their enemies! It was the hand of the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! Notice that it says that He rooted out the heathen people. THAT is why these nations were defeated. They refused to acknowledge Him as the One, True God, and to grant favor to His people. 

In our time, the Jewish people are STILL being persecuted, but now Christians are also seeing this same treatment. It has gotten deadlier by the day. The GOOD news is that OUR God is STILL the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God that He has ALWAYS been! When God's people, who are called by HIS Name, will humble themselves and pray, then HE will hear from Heaven and HE will deliver (2 Chronicles 7:14)! AMEN! WE, the Church of Jesus Christ, are NOT going to go out with a whimper at the Rapture of the Church! The greatest revival that has ever taken place is happening right at this very moment, in THIS nation, and all over the world! God's people are about our Father's business of seeking and saving the lost, and very soon HE will call us all home. Then will be the last seven years of Jewish history where they will stand completely alone with no one but their God to turn to. THAT is when HE will show the devil, his minions, and the heathens who have rejected Him JUST how REAL He is! OUR God IS God, and don't EVER forget it! AMEN! Here is Chris Tomlin  with "Our God":

Water You turned into wine
Open the eyes of the blind
There's no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no one like You
None like You

[Chorus]
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome In power
Our God, Our God... 

Into the darkness you shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There's no One like You
None like You

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God... 
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome and power
Our God, Our God... 

[Bridge]
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

Shalom in Him!
