“For the Joy of the Lord is your Strength” Nehemiah 8:10
Our Hearts Yearn For Thee by Pastor Fee Soliven
Psalm 42:1-4 Sunday Morning
September 14, 2014
Psalm 42:1-41 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I
come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, "Where is your God?”
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and
praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
1 John 1:9-109 If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
Psalm 103:1-41 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy
name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His
benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your
diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you
with lovingkindness and tender mercies...
Psalm 63:1-81 O God, You are my God; Early
will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. 2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your
lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. 5 My soul shall be satisfied as with
marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. 6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the
night watches.
7 Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your
wings I will rejoice. 8 My soul follows close behind You; Your right
hand upholds me.
1. God Is Our Strength
1 Chronicles 16:11-1311 Seek the LORD and His
strength; Seek His face evermore! 12 Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His
wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, 13 O seed of Israel His
servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
2 Samuel 22:33"God is my strength and power, And He makes my way perfect."
Ephesians 6:10"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His
might."
Philippians 4:13"I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me."
2. God Is Our Hope
Jeremiah 17:17"Do not be a terror to me; You are
my hope in the day of doom."
1 Thessalonians 4:13-1813 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning
those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no
hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who
sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming
of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an
archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will
rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one
another with these words.
3. God Is Our Hiding Place
Psalm 27:5"For in the time of trouble He shall
hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He
shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock."
Psalm 32:7"You are my hiding place; You shall
preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of
deliverance."
Psalm 119:114"You are my hiding place and my
shield; I hope in Your word."
Galatians 2:20"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself for me."
4. God Fights Our Battles When We Are On Our Knees
2 Chronicles 20:14-1514 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of
Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in
the midst of the assembly.
15 And he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD
to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not
yours, but God's.
Psalm 103:19"The LORD has established His
throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all."
Isaiah 40:31But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like
eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not
faint.
5. Worship The Lord!
John 4:23-2423 But the hour is coming, and
now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and
truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is
Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
Psalm 95:6-76 Oh come, let us worship and bow
down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. 7 For He is our
God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His
hand.
Psalm 99:5"Exalt the LORD our God, And worship at His footstool--He is
holy."
6. God Is Our Salvation!
Psalm 18:46-4846 The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation
be exalted. 47 It is God who avenges me, And subdues the
peoples under me; 48 He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift
me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me
from the violent man.
Isaiah 12:2-62 Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; 'For
YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my
salvation.'" 3 Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells
of salvation.
4 And in that day you will say: "Praise the LORD, call upon His
name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that
His name is exalted. 5 Sing to the LORD, For He has done excellent things; This is known in all the earth. 6 Cry out and shout, O
inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!"
Matthew 11:28-3028 Come to Me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke
upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden
is light."
2 Corinthians 6:2"For He says: "In an acceptable
time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped
you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation."
Hebrews 3:15"while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your
hearts as in the rebellion."
Acts 2:38-3938 Then Peter said to them,
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as
the Lord our God will call."
