Read the “0629 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

(Psalm 70:1-5) “To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. (2) Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. (3) Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. (4) Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. (5) But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.”

Good morning. How long do you think the insanity in our country will go on before it blows up in our faces? In our text, three times David asks the Lord to make haste. There were people that desired David’s hurt. Dacid asked the Lord to deliver him, that those who were after him would be confused, ashamed, confounded, and turned back. Make haste, LORD. Our own country has turned away from God. Homosexuality runs rampant. Drugs, illegal aliens, and criminals overflow our boarders. What can we do? We can apply what David said in verse 5…

(Psalm 70:5) “But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.”

And also apply what his son Solomon heard from the LORD…

(2Chronicles 7:14) “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Make haste!

Peace.
