Psalm 70

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!


Come Quickly.

is a phrase we use when some one is delaying.

When you need a person to come urgently to you and that person delays, then you will call them and say Come quickly.

There is an urgency in Psalmists Tone.


V5

But I am poor and needy;
Make haste to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
Lord, do not delay.

Psalmist says I am poor and needy.

It is the one who is poor and needy who says Make Haste, Come quickly.


But sometimes we live our lives as though we are not in need of God.

Just like we take our parents for granted and we live as though we dont need them.

Even that happens in regards to God.


We wakeup and does not give thanks  as though we dont need God

we talk as though we dont need God

we take decisions as though we dont need God

We spend our money and our time and our energy as though we dont need God.


If there is no sense of urgency in your heart for God.

If there is no real desire for God, but you are just a man of traditions, then you will not say Come Quickly.


Only If your heart is burning for God.

Only in the depths of your heart, you cry out and say Lord I need you.

then your will say Come Quickly O Lord.


Psalmist says

My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.


Psalmist also says

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [g]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.


 The LORD is not slack , but he wants everyone to be saved.


While We Wait,


But while we wait for the Lord to intervene in our lives
Verse 4

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified!”


You Rejoice.

and the Key is Let God be magnified.


Too many time when we wait for Gods work in our lives, we make the problem bigger,

Psalmist says God be magnified.


Airplane looks small in sky, but the closer it comes and we go nearer , it becomes really big.
