I am God's favourite, and I give all the credit to Him!

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 25Jul2025

I am God's favourite, and I give all the credit to Him!

Scripture Reference: Ps 30

This Psalm of David emphasizes his unwavering gratitude to the Lord for safeguarding his life. He recounts a comprehensive list of trials he endured and blessings he received. It is possible that the challenges we face today bear some resemblance to those David encountered. By following the guidance and insights he provides, we too can transform our hardships into joyful testimonies.

I will give thanks unto YHWH forever! A profound declaration from the writer. My Lord got me out of the mess, did not let my foes win. HE has lifted me. My God established me together as He wants me to be! He pulled me out of the grave and gave me GRACE, another chance at life, He made me whole. He changes my lament into dancing.

I can not keep quite about You. I can not thank YOU enough, my God! You have kept me alive!

V12 in MSG version says, I am about to burst with Song, I can not keep quite about you. David is giving the reasons why he thank HIM from his heart and will not stop singing His Praises. Mourning endured for a night, but the Joy come in the morning. God turned his mourning into dancing. He has given him a brand new song to sing. Mourning turn into dancing. This is a true transformation. Blessedness of answered prayer, something bad to good, deliverance. This song is a Prayer of thanksgiving. 

A big testimony that I have noticed by exploring the text closely.  David cried to the Lord for help. HE has helped him. 

The Scriptures powerfully affirm that true help in times of trouble comes solely from the Lord. Prayer serves as the vital process through which we reach out to Him, seeking His wisdom, guidance, and unwavering support. All other alternatives we may consider often prove to be fleeting, unreliable, or merely temporary remedies. The unwavering path is found in following Jesus, who calls us to approach Him with faith. He reassures us through His promise: "Whatever you ask in My Name, ask, and it will be given to you." The primary reason we often fail to receive is simply that we have not made the request.

Psalm 30:5 reminds us that His anger lasts only for a moment, but His favour lasts a lifetime. Weeping may endure for a night, but a shout of Joy comes in the morning. Let us make supplication as David did- Be Gracious and show favour to me, O LORD, Be My HELPER, In Jesus' Name, Amen. He will turn the things for us, mourning into dancing, by taking off our sackcloth and clothing us with JOY, by helping us in our crises, sending breakthroughs in our burdens, helping us to Pray in dark situations, sending a radical change in our affliction. The LORD is God. He created us and we belong to HIM. We are HIS people, the sheep in HIS pasture. Be thankful and Praise the Lord as we enter His temple. The Lord is good! His love and faithfulness will last forever.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
