Colossians 1:9 That is why we keep on talking to God about you since the day we heard about you. We ask him that you may know everything he wants you to do. We ask him that you may be very wise and that the Spirit will help you to understand.
10 We ask him that you will live the way the Lord wants you to live, so that you will please him in everything you do. We ask that you will do everything that is good. We ask that you will see the fruit from what you do. We ask that you will know more and more about God.11 God has wonderful power. And we ask him to give you all the strength you need to go through all your troubles, to be very patient in them, and to be happy.
12 Thank the Father who has made us ready to be with the people of God who live in his light.
Day 24—Psalms 9 and 10 flow together as one in the Hebrew Bible. Their prophetic Word is profound for the closing of this age. |

Some times we come upon Scripture that is too deep to receive into our limited understanding. I’ve learned the best thing to do with passages like this is just simply to soak in them and allow the Holy Spirit to bring into my heart what He will. Psalms 9 and 10 contain some of the most profound words for the days in which we are now living. But they are also among those Scriptures that are too deep for the minds of most of us. It is interesting to note that these two Psalms are one in their Original form. The revelation and truth within them bring us through the time when the wicked one will be brought to the place when he can no more oppress (Psalms 10:18). Oddly, but wonderfully, these two Psalms relate to the revelation of Daniel 7 through 12.
Before we see the Day of the wicked one’s complete overthrow in all the earth, even before we see the Day of the full manifestation of Christ’s Kingdom in all the earth, we are learning to praise and rejoice in His triumph in our lives personally.
These two Psalms, so profound and so important for this day, start out with two verses of wonderful praise and rejoicing. Let us read together Psalm 9:1,2
I will praise Thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in Thee: I will sing praise to Thy Name, O Thou most High.
(It is in my heart that we will spend some months in the coming year to examine the Light, Life and revelation of Truth as we are able to perceive it in several of the Messianic Psalms. Of course, I can only do this with the aid of the Holy Spirit. Let us make this a matter of prayer, for in the Messianic Psalms is much understanding that will serve us well as we pass through what David called the time of trouble in Psalms 27:5. For many, this time is already at hand.)
DEAR FATHER, my hope and expectation for the remainder of this day and the days that lie ahead are founded in Your mercy, grace and power. Please let the light and revelation of Your Kingdom’s Truth come upon my own heart, and upon these whose names I now call before You. Oh, You are so faithful, dear LORD!
