Psalms 70 & 71

Psalms 71: 1 – 13
David prays that he might never be made ashamed of dependence upon GOD.
With this petition every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy, should engage us to early piety. HE that was our Help from our birth, ought to be our Hope from our youth. Let none expect ease or comfort from the world. Those who love the LORD, often are hated and persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and conduct; but the LORD has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of GOD may be assured that HE will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake them when their strength fails.

OLD TESTAMENT
🌈
2 Kings 8: 16 – 9: 10

2 Kings 9: 8
The whole house of Ahab shall perish.
GOD caused the fall of the house of Ahab because it had remained stubborn and unrepentant in its idolatry and apostasy, corrupting the entire nation of Israel. GOD’s righteous judgement on Ahab’s house. Ahab’s son Joram and Ahab’s wife Jezebel shows that GOD will surely judge all who lead HIS people into unrighteousness. Scripture teaches plainly that GOD will reward every person according to HIS or HER deeds, and that there will be tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil.

Mark 10: 46 – 11: 10

Mark 11: 9
Blessed is he that cometh….
The crowd believed that the MESSIAH would restore Israel nationally and rule the nations politically. They failed to understand the purpose that JESUS expressed regarding HIS coming into the world. Later the crowd shouted Crucify HIM when they saw HE was not the Messiah they wanted.
