Psalm 80:3 Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. (NLT)

Some prayers are worth re-praying. Some words bear repeating. Some ideas take time to fully penetrate our hearts and minds.

Psalm 80 is a radiant psalm. Seasons of success and lives of peace and meaning have a common source. They begin and end with God alone.

Notice the words above from verse 3 repeat in verses 7 and 19.

Notice also the repetition of God’s radiant glory in verses 1, 3, 7, and 19.

The more we focus on God’s glory, the more fruitful, effective, loving, and generous our lives become.

Rescue and redemption are among God’s glorious works.

Renewal and restoration are evidence of his grace and mercy.

Revival comes from God’s glow and overflow in our lives.

This is a prayer worth praying and praying repeatedly.

This is a prayer worth pondering, and employing regularly.

I will pray with focused attention on God’s glory and his salvation.

Our Father, words often fail us when we attempt to express the deepest truths and are accompanied by our fondest hopes. Sometimes the best thing we can do is repeat what we know to be true. You are glorious! You are radiant! You illuminate all good things! Make your face shine on us today. Deliver us from encroaching darkness. Cascade your brilliance through our revived and renewed lives. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
