Lamentations 4:20
contains an interesting phrase - “The Lord’s anointed, our very life
breath.” Christ is the Lord’s anointed. Christ is our life. He is God’s
Word to us - “in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son” (Hebrews 1:2). He is God’s Son - “about the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever’” (Hebrews 1:8). Psalm 119:130
says, “The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding
to the simple.” This opening up of God’s Word is redemptive. As we read
His Word, we pray, “Redeem me” (Psalm 119:134) and there arises in our hearts the joyous confession, “O Lord ... You have redeemed my life” (Lamentations 3:58).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
