Glorify God Through Christ
One of my favorite sections of scripture is Philippians 2:9-11.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Background
Psalm 86 is in the Leviticus book of the Psalms (73—89). The Old Testament book of Leviticus focuses on matters in the sanctuary: the priesthood, ceremonial laws, and feasts. Almost all of these 17 Psalms mention the sanctuary and God’s relation to it. Psalm 86 shows Jesus Christ as the humble Messiah who seeks God’s help in the sanctuary.
This Psalm has the title “A Prayer of David.” It is the only psalm in the Leviticus Book in Psalms with such a title. This specifically speaks of the Messiah, the “son of David.”
Have you ever had a family member in trouble and you wanted to help? Jesus’ cousin John (the baptizer) was put in prison by King Herod. When he heard of this, Jesus did not try to “spring John out of jail,” but returned to his home town and boldly proclaimed his ministry as the Messiah. In a place where others thought little of him as a local boy, Jesus declared a great prophecy from Isaiah about who he was, and what he would do!

Enjoy the Rest!
Every day is a special, holy, and sanctified day when we walk with the Father and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. But why did God set life in a seven-day cycle? We see this not only on our calendar, but in life around us.
