Psalm 144 is a prayer for deliverance and blessing. It consists of a song of praise from a king, a song of praise to the Creator God, a prayer that the LORD will make an appearance as God, a prayer for deliverance from enemies and blessing on the home front.

 Here we hear again how the Psalmist comes to the LORD in prayer asking for deliverance. In this prayer he acknowledges that only God can save him and therefore he sings the Praise of God.

 When you approach God in your need, do you understand who He really is? Do you believe that He and no one else can give victory over enemies? Do you believe that He is immortal? Do you believe that only He can save people? Do you believe that you can only approach God on the basis of Jesus Christ's merit He earned on the cross? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is your only Savior and Redeemer?

 Do you believe that only God gives prosperity? Do you believe that all the blessings with which you are so richly blessed comes only from the hand of God? Do you believe that your prosperity is a testimony of God and do you give Him recognition for it?

 We may pray that the LORD will bless us and our children. Draw near to God in prayer and acknowledge who He really is. Raise your need and worries to Him and thank Him for the blessings He gives you so generously. Do not just see at the problems in your life, but also see God's blessings in your life.

 Let your life be a song to the LORD, because the people whose God is their LORD, will prosper!

Amen
