Seeking God’s Blessing #

Psalm 80:1-3

Introduction

We have a Psalm, where the Psalmist is clearly seeking the Lord’s Blessing in his life! We should desire the Lord’s Blessing in our life! Without the Lord’s Blessing, you are wandering blindfolded in a barren desert land. Without the Lord’s blessing, you are standing on Satan’s street corner, begging for a handout. What I’m trying to say, is without God’s blessing, you are in dire need in your life, and no one is going to meet that need!

Could have, Should have #

Psalm 81:14-16 – God is speaking in these verses.

Introduction

We find at the end of this Psalm, God is expressing his sorrow, over what “Should have been”!  Have you ever expressed regret, remorse, frustration for something that should have been? It is most commonly expressed, when some action is done, and later regretted. Sometimes it is our own action, or someone else’s action that is regretted. We find God, sorrowful and giving us a glimpse of what “should have been”.
