Text: Psalm 44:1-8 (KJV)
44 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
KEY VERSE: “We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.” – (Psalm 44:1).

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
The hymn, O God, Our Help in Ages Past, was written in 1719 by Isaac Watts, an English Congregational minister, theologian and hymn writer, when he was in his 20s. At that time, it was considered too radical to write any hymn of “human composure” (songs that did not directly quote Bible passages).
This hymn was, therefore, written as a paraphrase of Psalm 90. Here it goes “O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home…” The passage under consideration re-echoes the same sentiment about God’s mightiness and how He has been the help of His people from ages past and hope for years to come.
The psalmist begins by acknowledging that the testimonies about these marvellous deeds, from ancient times, have been handed down to successive generations. He acknowledges also that the preservation and victories of God’s people from ancient times did not come from their bravery or skill, but purely from divine favour and support. Buoyed by the memories of these wonderful divine acts, he expressed confidence in present and future victories over the enemies of God’s people.
Have our fathers not told us these great stories of incredible manifestations of God’s power in defence and care of His own from the beginning of time? These were stories of great awakenings and revivals, irresistible penetration of the gospel and expansion of the church. We are privileged to have them preserved in the form of printed matter, audio recordings and digital formats. The things we have heard, read, witnessed and experienced are sufficient to solidify our faith. The same God, our help in ages past, is still our God today.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Operate by faith; it is futile to limit God’s mightiness to our knowledge.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 15-18
