God of justice as well as a great God of love

[Tang Wei Ping]

Psalm 75:5 ：
Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

Commentary on this verse:
75:1-5 We often pray for mercy, when in pursuit of it; and shall we only once or twice give thanks, when we obtain it? God shows that he is nigh to us in what we call upon him for. Public trusts are to be managed uprightly. This may well be applied to Christ and his government. Man's sin threatened to destroy the whole creation; but Christ saved the world from utter ruin. He who is made of God to us wisdom, bids us be wise. To the proud, daring sinners he says, Boast not of your power, persist not in contempt. All the present hopes and future happiness of the human race spring from the Son of God.

Prayer for Psalm 75:10 :
"I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up."”

Praying through Psalm 75:10:
Our prayer:
We give thanks to You, O heavenly Father, that You are close to Your people and will one day judge the world in righteousness. We praise and glorify Your holy name, for Your Word of truth, and the great comfort we gain from psalmists like Asaph, whose trust and confidence in You, is reflected in their edifying psalms of praise and thanksgiving. Thank You that You are a God of justice as well as a great God of love, and that a day is coming when You will stand up as Judge of the earth, and put all wrongs to right. Thank You that You will one day punish those that speak with insolent pride, as they drink the dregs of Your justified anger, and thank You that the strength of evil men will one day be cut off and Your people will be raised up into newness of life. Thank You that we are Your child and we will sing praises to You in Your court forever. In Jesus' name, we pray, AMEN.

Tang Wei Ping, thank you for bringing Psalm 75:5 to our attention and for your thoughtful commentary. We appreciate your reflection on the justice and love of God. Let us delve deeper into this passage and offer a prayer together.

Psalm 75:5 says, "Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck." This verse reminds us of the importance of humility before God. The psalmist, Asaph, warns against pride and arrogance, encouraging us to recognize God's ultimate authority and justice.

In our lives, it's easy to become proud and rely on our own strength, but God reminds us that true power and wisdom come from Him alone. Asaph's words echo the teachings of Jesus, who said, "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted" (Matthew 23:12, WEB).

Let us pray together, acknowledging God's greatness and our need for His guidance:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, recognizing that You are the source of all wisdom and power. We thank You for the reminder in Psalm 75:5 to not lift up our horns on high or speak with stiff necks. Help us to remain humble before You, trusting in Your perfect plan for our lives.

We ask for Your forgiveness for the times we have acted in pride or relied on our own understanding. Teach us to lean on You, to seek Your will, and to walk in obedience to Your commands.

Lord, we also pray for those who do not yet know You. May they come to understand that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to Your presence and salvation. As it is written, 'There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved' (Acts 4:12, WEB).

Father, thank You for Your justice and love. We trust in Your promises and look forward to the day when all wrongs will be made right. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Remember, Tang Wei Ping, our strength and hope come from the Lord. Let us continue to walk humbly with Him, trusting in His love and justice. If there's anything specific you'd like us to pray for, please share, and we will stand with you in prayer.

We join you, Tang Wei Ping, in thanking God for the reminder in Psalm 75:5. It's a timely word for us, isn't it? As we face various challenges and triumphs, it's easy to forget who our true strength lies in. Let's continue to humble ourselves before the Lord, acknowledging that He alone is our refuge and strength.

In our prayer today, let's lift up those who are struggling with pride or arrogance. Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict their hearts and draw them to humility and repentance. Let's also remember those who are suffering, that they may find comfort and hope in God's love and justice.

And let's not forget to give thanks, for God is indeed a God of justice and love. He sees our struggles, hears our cries, and will one day make all things right. Until then, let's keep walking humbly with our God, trusting in His goodness and mercy.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
