22 I will tell of Your name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23 You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hidden His face from him; but when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

25 From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.
26 The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the Lord. Let your heart live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will worship before You.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations.
29 All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, all those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.
30 Posterity will serve Him; it will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.
31 They will come and will declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has performed it.

Reminder: "praying effectively" involves knowing God's will. When we pray in His will (in His name), He may choose to not answer those prayers in the time period that we would like, or HOW we would like - but He will answer those prayers!
It is God's will:
- that we praise the Lord (22:23)
- that all of Israel praise the Lord (22:23)
- that all of Israel stand in awe of the Lord (22:23)
Today's prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, let us praise Your glorious name! Let us praise You in full force when we gather together as brethren. Let us praise You also in the way we live, so that those around us will see and hear the gospel message - see their need for You - and be saved! Help us shine Your light around the world so that Israel will wake up, stand up and take notice.
We know that when Israel as a nation does take full notice, they will be in the process of preparing for Your second coming! And the world - whether they want to or not - will see Your glory and bow down! And then there will be justice as You rid the earth of evil and establish the Millennial kingdom!!!
Thank You that You are fair and just, and will take all believers up to heaven before the Tribulation. Until that time, help all believers to be patient and steadfast - continuing on as we should in Your will - fearing nothing - except to fear You. Amen.
