What is promised to those who fear God, who cry out to Him with regular thanks and praise? How frequently do we pray to God? Let’s look at Psalm 61.
For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. (WEB)
Do we pray when our hearts are without strength? Do we want to live with God forever?
God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer. I call to You from the ends of the earth when my heart is without strength. Lead me to a rock that is high above me, for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy. I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings. Selah (Ps 61:1-4 HCSB)
Have we made promises to God? Do we trust the heritage awaiting those who revere His name?
For you, God, have heard my promises; you have assigned to me the heritage of those who fear [morally: revere] your name. (Ps 61:5 ISV)
Who is our king? Does He abide before God forever?
Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. (Ps 61:6-7 KJV)
Do we praise God’s name and keep our promises every day?
So I will sing praise to Your name forever, As I pay my vows day by day. (Ps 61:8 LSB)
What is the promise given to those who pray to and give thanks to God frequently?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil 4:6-7 NASB)
