Re:Verse passage – Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19(day four) “O Lord God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.”
What is it we really need from God? What is it, that if all were stripped away, we couldn’t do without? It’s His face- attention, affection, intimacy (personal relationship). And with those, comes His promised salvation. If we cry out in confession and repentance, He hears and He saves!! From the penalty of sin (the first moment we cry out). From the presence of sin (when we at last shall see Him face to face). And currently when we cry out, He saves us from the power of sin. Notice that promise is made 3 times (vs 3, 7, 19). He comes close (close enough for us to see/feel His face shine). He restores. He revives. That’s what we really need. Praise God for the hope we have in His promised salvation!!
