Explain why 'all kings' would want to pay homage to our Lord, using the<br /> verses of the Psalm.<br /><br /> Our new born King, the Messiah, will be anointed by God with divine<br /> judgement and empowered to rule the earth. The light, Jesus Christ, our Savior, is<br /> sent to be a good shepherd and to shepherd God's people. <br /> He rescues the poor when they pray from the bottom of their heart, and the<br /> oppressed who have no one to turn to. And He has come to make our burden<br /> easy, to share our afflictions, and bless us spiritually.<br /> That's why we join the Magi in paying homage, "Blessed be the Lord."<br /> And "every nation on earth will adore the Lord" --<br /> now it has been revealed that the Gentiles are coheirs of the promise.<br /><br /> 2. Are there times when you can identify yourself as an 'afflicted one ?<br /> Tell what remedies are available to you that are mentioned in the Psalm ?<br /><br /> Yes, I'm suffering from an anxiety and ringing in the ears. In addition,<br /> I am losing hearing in both ears. The remedy available to me<br /> is to hold on to these promises in Psalm 72, "Justice shall flower in his days<br /> and profound peace," and he shall have pity on the lowly and poor;<br /> the lives of the poor he shall save. "And he shall rescue the poor when they<br /> cry out, and the afflicted when they have no one to help them."<br /> These verses describe well about God's character (Goodness and Mercy)<br /> toward the afflicted one. I'll cry out and pray about my problems<br /> since I know He is merciful and trustworthy.<br /> In His own time, He'll heal me and make me whole.Blogger Posterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086797630659670745noreply@blogger.com
