Welcome the 72nd day of the year! Day 72 is the second day of the eleventh week; and the 23rd day in the second 49 days of the year. Day 72 is March 13 in a clear year and March 12 in a leap year. The second day of creation narrative, the 23rd book and chapters of the Bible, the second three chapters of First Kings, and the 72nd psalm, are the Bible keys for understanding and decoding Day 72.
Day 72 is a second day-of-creation day in the 11th week. As the second day of the 11th week, it has its guiding light in the second day of creation narrative. God created the firmament on the second day of creation to dismantle and displace the water-bloc hindering space. Day 72 is a day to dismantle space-blockers and make room for people and things. Space-blockers are dismantled through prayers and prophetic blessings, declarations, and actions. Prayers and prophetic utterances make a way where there is no way.
Day 72 is a First Kings 5-7 day in the eleventh week. First Kings is the eleventh book of the Bible; and is guiding light for the eleventh week and other eleventh seasons. The second section of three chapters, following the first four, are applicable to the second day of the 11th week. In this second section of three chapters (5-7), Solomon began to build the house of God and completed it. The house of God is a house of prayer for all nations. The temple was a meeting place between God, who answers prayers, and men with needs. Day 72 is a day to give attention to the connection between God and men. It is a House of Prayer day. Prayer is a spiritual firmament that makes a way where there is no way. It pushes through obstacles to give space, and make room, for things that are not but should be.
Day 72 is a Psalm 72 day. The 72nd psalm (a second-season psalm) is the king’s prayer to God for the king’s son. This psalm reveals that the 72nd season is a season of intercession. It is a time to stand in the gap for others. It is a season to receive help to be a help. It is a house-of-prayer day. In this psalm, David prayed and prophesied before the Lord concerning Solomon his son.
Psalm 72 opens with, “Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son”; and ends with “Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! [19] And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. [20] The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended”
HELPERS NEED HELP TO HELP OTHERS
The king needs help from God to be a help to people.
TWELVE THINGS THAT WOULD ACCOMPANY DIVINE WISDOM FOR THE KING
1. He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice (v2).
2. The mountains will bring peace to the people, And the little hills, by righteousness (v3).
3. He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor (v4).
4. He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth (v6).
5. In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more (v7).
6. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth (v8).
7. Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust (v9).
8. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will offer gifts. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him (vs10-11).
9. For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. [13] He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. [14] He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight (vs12-14).
10. And He shall live; And the gold of Sheba will be given to Him; Prayer also will be made for Him continually, And daily He shall be praised (v15).
11. There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, On the top of the mountains; Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth (v16).
12. His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed (v17).
In the eleventh book of the Bible, Solomon became very great because he received help from God in answer to the prayer made for him in Psalm 72.
Day 72 is a book of Isaiah day in the second 49 days of the year. Isaiah is the 23rd book of the Bible; and is guiding light for the 23rd day in the second 49 days of the year. Isaiah was a prophet, prayer warrior, and fore-teller. He was of great assistance to king Hezekiah when Sennacherib the king of Syria came against Judah. He prophesied against proud and arrogant kings and their nations. He prophesied the virgin conception, the rising of Cyrus king of Persia, and the making of a new heaven and a new earth, and the blissful kingdom of God. In the 23rd book of the Bible, God magnifies His name and person. Day 72 is day to see God in His loftiness and self-existence. It is a day to make a way where there’s none; and shape the future through prayer and prophetic declarations or decrees.
Day 72 is First Kings – Proverbs day in the 11th week. Going through any week is like going through the Bible. The first four days of the week is the Old Testament side of the week. The remaining three days of the week is the New Testament side of the week. Day 72 is the second day in the Old Testament side of the 11th week; and has its guiding light in the second ten books of the Bible (First Kings, Second Kings, First Chronicles, Second Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, and Proverbs). Israel began to struggle for survival in the second 10 books of the Bible because she did not put her God first. From her glorious place in the days of Solomon, she sank into captivity but found mercy with God. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) exalt the person of God, His word, and His wisdom. Day 72 is a day to exalt God above all. Put God first and make no room for any idol in your heart.
DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him! Today, open my eyes, Lord God, to see You in Your majesty exalted above mountains. Help me Lord; that I may be helpful to others. Let me prosper, today, by reason of help from above. Happy 72nd day!
