Psalm 69:16 Hear me, O LORD; for thy loving kindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. At the time of these writings, war was prevalent, for a nation would rise against another, seeking dominance, blood was shed easily and many feared for their lives. It is understandable why the writer of this Psalm cries out to God for help and mercy. We see that his enemies were from within and without. He was provoked and sought destruction, even eternal destruction for his enemies Psalms 69:22-25 Let the bountiful table set before them become a snare and their prosperity become a trap. Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and make their bodies shake continually. Pour out your fury on them; consume them with your burning anger. Let their homes become desolate and their tents be deserted. He did not stop there he went on to those who mock and persecute those who are under the Lord's chastisement: Psalms 69:26-28 To the one you have punished, they ad...

Psalm 68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah. Truly he is the Good God.  We could find this to say when we are Not passing through challenges or trials. For when there are challenges and trials, when the burden seems to be too heavy, we could tend to focus all our energy especially our life energy on it. This could weigh us down and make us forget the recent victories and testimonies. Remember, the challenges are always temporary: 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. Unless we leave this earth, we must face those challenges, thus we must be ready for them. They can't bring us down, they make us better and stronger. For we don't go through them alone - He is with us. Halleluyah. All the oppositions and enemies would yet be brought down. You will sing praises to th...

Psalm 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. The greatest evil a man can do to himself is to become an enemy of God. Then who will become your friend? See what Jesus said: Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. The false experience called "fear" and those farce called "lust" or "pleasure" are not real, they are a mirage. Why then should I sacrifice or trade the Heavenly Father's love for them? King Saul stands as a perfect example for us. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Lord! Hebrews 10:31 [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Psalms 68:1-2 Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives. Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicked per...

Psalms 67:3 May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you. Is this what we really desire? It is one thing to claim allegiance, it is another to make the sacrifice. Do we know how big the Heavenly Father is? If we have a clue we will make His praise glorious. 1 Timothy 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen. Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else. Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. That is the God we serve. Mighty powerful, beyond imagination. Only one person could declare Him and that is His Word. His only begotten Son. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at a...

Psalm 66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: One thing is sure, praise belongs to God. Psalm 66:2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. Yes, it is easy to become unconscious of His greatness. Yes, God is great and His works are great. For everyone would yet submit to Him. Even those who join the enemy's camp. For when the time comes He has the final say. Psalm 66:3 Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. Psalm 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. We cannot afford to be like the children of disobedience, for though they saw the sea parted side to side and they went ahead to walk in between them on dry ground to be delivered from their enemy that pursued, yet they did not walk in belief they preferred to doubt and rebel! Psalm 66:5 - 6 Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his] doing t...

Psalm 65:1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. There is no aspect of our lives that the Heavenly Father cannot take care of. Nothing overwhelms Him. No matter the doubt in people's hearts they still call on the Heavenly Father. Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psalms 65:5 You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. There was a time as a child we could wonder how He could hear all prayers and deal with all requests and supplication. We could not see His Majesty, His omnipotence and Sovereignty. Yes His power is unlimited and so true it is. Then that which separates us from Him, He has taken care of through His Son who paid the price: Psalms 65:3 Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ ...
