Listening & Learning — A Devotional

Psalm 35:27

Let them shout for joy

Psalm 35:27. “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor thy righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified,” which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”

PSALM 35. Frustration at the way they are seeking for my soul; Why such antagonism from my friends? Can it be possible for them to think those charges are true? O God, bring this pressure to an end.

A net pit has been dug to catch my feet unawares. For some reason, they want me down to fall. I wonder why they are looking for faults everywhere. O God, hearken quickly to my call.

Help me not to focus on people all around; I lift my eyes and soul to the Lord. Joy in the Lord, and my praises will abound. O God, I will let my praises now be heard.

“O Righteous God, it can be very distracting when I look at all the things going on around me or even listen to what people say. Thou dost know the reason behind every charge made against me. If it is legitimate, help me to learn and change. If it is not, help me not to focus my thoughts on false charges. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
