[b]7 verses from the 80th Psalm[/b]

[i]vs 1-7 from the King James Version[/i]





Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
thou that leadest Joseph
like a flock;
thou that dwellest
[i]between[/i] the cherubims,
shine forth.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin
and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
and come [i]and[/i] save us.

Turn us again, O God,
and cause thy face to shine;
and we shall be saved.

O Lord God of hosts,
how long wilt thou
be angry against
the prayer of thy people?

Thou feedest them
with the bread of tears;
and givest them tears to drink
in great measure.

Thou makest us a strife
unto our neighbours;
and our enemies laugh
among themselves.

Turn us again,
O God of hosts,
and cause thy face
to shine; and
we shall be saved.

….here is [the] an answer

“at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. “And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew
‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Acts 26:14

“One day I was on such a mission to Damascus, armed with the authority and commission of the leading priest. About noon, Your Majesty, a light from heaven brighter than the sun shone down on me and my companions. We all fell down, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,
*’Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to fight against my will.*’
Acts 26:14

NKJV
New Living Translation

---------------------------

Is this my answer?

In verse 4 of Psalm 80 it reads '...how long will
You be angry against the prayer of Your people?

Is God angry against our prayers?

When our enemies are laughing among themselves, presumably against the people of God, is it not time to seek God for Him to shine forth, for us to be restored, for God's glory and honour?

What I write next might seem like an aside to the original post and replies, but here goes.

Rev 1v9 tells us John was on the island of Patmos, exiled, for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Verse 10 tells us he was in the Spirit on the Lords day.

Verse 17 says when he saw Him (Jesus) he fell down as one dead.

First, John is on his own, but yet he was in the Spirit.

No music, no singers, no gimmicks, just him and the Holy Spirit.

Then, he saw Jesus, and fell down as one dead.

When has that ever happened to us, epecially when in church?

Which is why we need to seek God to restore us, that His face would shine on us.

God bless.
