One of the marks of ministry in general and pastoral ministry specifically is being on call.
I am usually available to take your call.
Usually.
Medical doctors, are on call.
They are supposed to be ready to drop what they are doing if they are paged.
They are reliable.
Usually.
Firefighters stay on call.
They literally live on the premises for a set amount of time, so that in the event of a fire they are ready.
And they are usually.
Usually.
The IT department is on call, and sometimes 24/7, to solve your businesses technological difficulties.
Usually.
But let me tell you the truth.
If you call me while I’m out with the wife.
I am not available, I will not answer.
If that doctor is already occupied with an emergency surgery or another patient, they are not available, they will not answer.
If that fire department working on another fire, and you decided to throw water on grease fire, they are not available, they will not answer.
If you forgot your password because you have so many, if that IT department is overwhelmed with a busy que, they are not available, they will not answer.
Oh, church, I’m so glad that God is not like me.
I’m so glad God is not like the Doctor.
I’m so glad God is not like the fire department.
I’m so glad God is not like the IT department.
(Preach)
Context/Background
1. Asking (v.
1-3)
The asking in this Psalm is a petition of salvation in battle.
It is a song of praise asking God to defend His people in Battle.
Imagine if you will, the people of God assembled making sacrifices as they send out their armies for war.
And this is how it is for us today every Sunday.
We show up knowing that what is outside of those walls and in those streets is warfare.
This is why I don’t mind coming to the sanctuary.
I know he will meet me there.
I don’t mind getting on my knees, I know he will meet me there.
v. 3 shouts me though.
We serve a God of grace who does not save off of merit.
But, as this text suggests, God rewards faithfulness.
“May he remember all your...”
Selah*
2. Anticipation (v.
4-5)
We are supposed to pray in faith and with faith.
We pray in Faith to God because He can, but we should also pray with faith that God will.
Fulfill all your purpose.
We will rejoice in your salvation
banners
3. Assurance (v.
6-9)
David starts speaking from some experience.
“Now I know the LORD saves His anointed...” God saved David from Goliath.
He saved David from Saul.
He saved David from King of Gath.
He saved David from his own Sin.
His own son.
Church when you need some assurance in your prayer, just remember what He’s already done.
Preach v.7
May the King answer.
Ride on King Jesus.
