Incline thine ear unto me

Psa 71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Psa 71:2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape…

...incline thine ear unto me, and save me.


Lord, hear me! Lord, save me!


Asking God to save us is something we must do and not just once, but often. Just as there is much we need to escape from in this sin sick world there is a great need to be saved. We need to be saved from enemies seen and unseen and this is a fact. People may scoff at such talk but it's true, the unseen spiritual attacks are plentiful and unceasing. We war against principalities and powers, wickedness- not just flesh and blood.


Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Asking God to save us is something God's beloved David did often...


Psa 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
Psa 7:1 …O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me
Psa 31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
Psa 31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
Psa 54:1 ...Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
Psa 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Psa 57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
Psa 69:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
Psa 109:26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy
Psa 119:94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
Psa 119:146 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
Psa 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.


David faced a lot of physical threats to his life and where did He go for help? GOD.
David faced a lot of emotionally trying times and where did He go for help? GOD.


Isa 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.


Jer 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.


Amen!


Being saved by God there is NOTHING more important that that, nothing.


Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


Jesus was sent into the world NOT to condemn it, NOT to find it unworthy of being saved. Jesus came to the world that though HIM the world might be SAVED.


The purpose of the sinless One taking on flesh, the purpose of a God emptying Himself to become uniquely human and God was to SAVE US!


Php 2:5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Php 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men


Joh 5:30 I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Joh 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
Joh 5:32 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
Joh 5:33 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth.
Joh 5:34 But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved.


Joh 10:9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.


We CANNOT save ourselves, we must be SAVED. Is it any wonder at all that we should cry to our God to be saved? Only by crying out to be saved do we acknowledge salvation is found without ourselves and in another.


Save me!


If we were to hear these words as we were walking down a street what would we think? That someone needed help, right?


We need help! We need the help of our Savior for only He can save us for eternity!

Psa 10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear

Psa 116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Psa 116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.


...incline thine ear unto me, and save me.


Please Lord incline Your ear to hear us! Please Lord, SAVE US, all in YOUR righteousness by YOUR grace and mercy!


Amen!
