Psalms 9 - Our Mighty God

I will give {you} thanks, O Lord, with all my heart.
I will tell about all the miracles you have done.
2 I will find joy and be glad about you.
I will make music to praise your name, O Most High.
Psalms 9:1-2 (GW)

17 Wicked people, all the nations who forget God,
will return to the grave.
18 Needy people will not always be forgotten.
Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever.
Psalms 9:17-18 (GW)

Reflection of B:

As I read the above passage, I thought about those 23 Christians who were taken hostage by the Talebans. I wished they remember this Psalm even in the midst of their trial for God's sake. One of them were already killed at the time of this devotion, but I pray that the rest will stay strong and give thanks to God in all these, just like King David did in his trials.


Dear Lord,
I want to pray for the 22 brothers and sisters who were taken hostage now. I pray for strength, peace, joy and love even in the midst of such testing. I pray that they will not be fearful but know who their God is. I pray that their faith in You will be strong and that it will not waver. May Your mighty hands be in control of the whole situation and watch over Your children. May Your love and peace be with them, Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
