THE LORD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN(Psalm 34)

-
Psalm 34:7
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

The book of Psalms emphasizes the Lord's favour on those who put their trust in Him. He categorizes them as the righteousness for their way of live pleases the Lord.

The Lord calls them blessed:

Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.

All through scriptures it has been so, the righteous are those who walk in the will of the Lord, they are humble, the put their trust in the Lord, their nature is love and the do good continually.

However the other category are those who choose the path of unrighteousness, they are proud, their feet run to do evil and they do not put their trust in God.

Psalm 34:12-14
 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

For this reason Christ came that all can walk in the path of righteousness. For as He explained to Nicodemus we who come to Him, He re-births, that we may have the new life by His Word and His Spirit.

John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

People would say, I know of people who claim to be born again yet their lives are not like the description of the path of righteousness.

Those in these category are those who walk in ignorance, for though they have been adopted to inherit they still live in bondage for they do not know what has happened to them. For the entrance of the Word of God bringeth light. However if you do not know the word, darkness remaineth. They are the ones who do not understand their power of choice, for the try to enjoy a false liberty and have thus erred from the faith. For you cannot be of God and live like the enemy. Selah

Psalm 34 reminds us that God takes care of His own.

Psalm 34:15
The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry.

His face is against those who do evil.

Psalm 34:16
The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

It is not only in this life but also in the life to come.

Yes, just as Christ triumphed over death, we all who have put our trust in Him will also triumph over all things:

Psalm 34:19
 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Yes the deliverance is from them all. Halleluyah.

Those who refuse to repent, those who attack the righteous and those who choose the path of unrighteousness the scriptures prophesies:

Psalm 34:21
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

But we have a good testimony.

Psalm 34:22
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Thus we can rejoice like David:

Psalm 34:1-3
 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Glory to God, He takes care of us.

Ephesians 5:20
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Yes, He calls us blessed.

Love
@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
