This Psalm title says a Psalm of Solomon.
But when it came to the end it says "The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended."
It was written by Solomon, but he was writing the collection of Psalms written by David.
These are prayers of David.
Please notice that when David was praying , he was not only praying, but he was prophesying about the Coming Reign of Messiah.
In these prayer , he was prophesying.
And He shall live;
And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him;
Prayer also will be made for Him continually,
And daily He shall be praised.
Apostle Paul says Pray without ceasing - this is inspired by this Verse ( Prayer also will be made for Him continually)
And daily He shall be praised.
When we pray and praise we actually fulfill the prophecy.
Do you want to live a life to fulfill the prophecy.
Whatever the Lord Jesus did, He was fulfilling the prophecy.
Live a life to fulfill the Word of God.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended:
David was willful praying man. He prayed willfully.
How many of you had a feeling to pray today?
Some might say, i dont feel like praying today. I dont feel like worshipping today.
Most of the times when David praised or prayed, David's situations are not so good that he got a feeling to pray or worship.
But he Willfull Prayed, he willfully Praised.
Your prayer and worship should be born out of Decision and not feeling.
There are 2 types of people.
1) People driven by Feelings.
This kind of people, they feel something and do it.
2) People driven by Decisions.
The people driven by decisions are they decide in the Spirit. and they tell the soul to follow.
Psalmist says " Bless the Lord Oh my Soul"
Order : Spirit instructs Soul and body acts.
How do i know whether its my soul and Spirit.
That is where the Word of God comes into Picture.
Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Some people say, I dont feel like coming to Church today.
Coming to Church is based on a decision.
Your Prayer life is a decision.
What is your driving factor today? Decision or feelings
Daniel was a man of decisions.
He decides and then every walk of his life follows his decisions.
He decides in his spirit that he would not eat Kings food.
He decides in his spirit that he would pray .
Kings orders, situations, feelings does not change that.
I have decided to follow Jesus.
