“God whispers to us in our pleasures,
speaks in our conscience,
but shouts in our pains:
it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
 
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.                     
Ps. 70:1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.
 
How often do I pray with a heart of urgency?
 
God will make sense of our imperfectly worded prayers.
 
Luke 11:13 - As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children.
How much more, then, will the Father in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?

 
Ps. 70:2 - Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:
let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Ps. 70:3 - Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
 
How do I respond to people that have/want to hurt me?
 
Ps. 70:4 - Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
 
Surround yourself with people that are lifting up God above their current problems.
 
Focus your zoom lens on God, not your problem.
 
While they mock – we magnify!
 
Ps. 70:5a - But I am poor and needy:
 
Matthew 5:3 - Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 
Ps. 70:5 - But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:
thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
 
When people try hurt you, desert you, use and abuse you – magnify God.
