Can You Hear Me Now? (8 of 10)
Series: Songs for the Summer
Jim Perdue
Psalm 5:1-12
Intro/Attention
Every once in awhile a commercial comes along that catches on. Many years ago, Coca Cola gathered everyone on a mountain and proclaimed, ''I'd like to teach the world to sing...I'd like to buy the world a coke.'' Or the famous question at the end of the dairy commercials, ''Got Milk?'' And, who could forget the Taco Bell Chihuahua? ''Yo quiero Taco Bell.'' And of course, there's the famous ''Eat Mor Chickin'' from the cows of Chick Fil A. We could probably talk all morning about memorable and even maddening commercials that catch on and become a national phenomenon. But there was one in recent years that stands out to me as much as any other. Do you remember the guy walking around to all sorts of places holding his Verizon cell phone? He always had the same question, ''Can You Hear Me Now?'' And he always said, ''Good.'' The point was, there was no place Verizon couldn't cover you. It's strange to me that this guy is now doing cell phone commercials once again...for Sprint!*
Can You Hear Me Now? That's the subject of my sermon this morning from Psalm 5. We're studying what's been called a ''morning psalm.'' Do you know why it's called a morning psalm? Because David says, ''in the morning you hear my voice...'' There are morning and evening psalms in the Bible.
Psalm 5 is morning psalm, like Psalm 3. Since the following psalm is another evening psalm (''every night I flood my bed with tears,'' Psalm 6:6), we therefore have prayers for morning and evening in Psalms 3-6. It is a way of saying that our entire day, from the rising to the setting of the sun, should be prayerful. *Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, ''Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night. Devotion should be both the morning...and the evening star.''*
In Psalm 5 David prays for God to rescue him from his enemies. We're not sure what was happening in David's life at th ...
