TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: PSALM 85:1-13
Question(s) for Reflection
* Q6: Is there any prayer for me to remember?
Scripture Union Daily Guide 15th December 2024 Outline:
The Psalm begins with a prayer of thankfulness to God for bringing the people of Israel back from the years of exile in Babylon. They recognised that God had forgiven them their sins and been good to them and showered His blessings on them. The occurrence of troubles and afflictions in our lives should not make us forget God’s past goodness to us. Even when times are difficult and all hope is almost gone, let us remember the goodness of God (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16).
In their prayer, they recognised that God had been merciful and gracious to them and had not dealt with them as they deserved. The Lord has not dealt with us according to our sins but has been merciful to us and forgiven us all our sins through Christ Jesus.
After being brought back from exile, they now prayed that God in His mercy will restore them to their former state. Our nations are in upheaval and things are getting out of hand. Sin and violence are increasing daily. We can pray to God to revive and restore us and bring healing to our nations as we await the return of Christ Jesus. He will restore all things.

Revive us again
1. We praise Thee, O God!
For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus who died,
And is now gone above.
Refrain
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.
2. We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
And scattered our night.
3. All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins,
And hath cleansed every stain.
4. All glory and praise
To the God of all grace,
Who hast bought us, and sought us,
And guided our ways.
5. Revive us again;
Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above.
