HE SAVED US, THUS WE WAIT ON THE LORD (Psalm 130)

-
Psalm 130:5
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

Man's problem is separation from God. What brought about this separation? Disobedience. What did it now put in man? Iniquity!

For it is the same thing that was found in the enemy, that caused him to be cast out of God's favour. No wonder he envied man and wanted his fall.

Ezekiel 28:15
Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

So it takes a man to awaken from his sleep and seek the Lord for help, because man cannot save himself.

Psalm 130:1&2
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

Yes it is the Lord,  by His Spirit, that prompts a man to seek Him. Truly I believe He prompts everyone, however man was created in God's image, he has the power of will. He could decide to yield or not to yield.

Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Yes, for God calls out to everyone, through His Spirit. However will you yield?

John 6:65
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

John 6:37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

For no man can be saved by the law, for if God considers iniquity no one will pass!

Psalm 130:3
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

So the Heavenly Father showed mercy, He gave us grace.

Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Man cannot save Himself. The Heavenly Father is the one who does the work, thus He is to be feared and glorified.

Psalm 130:4
But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

Ephesians 2:8-9
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

So we see it is all about the Heavenly Father. We should, like David, wait on the Lord and trust in His word.

Psalm 130:5-6
 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
My soul [waiteth] for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: [I say, more than] they that watch for the morning.

Halleluyah, we wait on the Lord day to day, walking in His direction,day after day. We still wait for His coming, when all things will come to an end, and He will make all things new both in heaven and on earth.

It is a win-win for all who have put their trust in the Almighty God, revealed in His Son, His Word, Jesus the Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:9
God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Glory to God. We wait on the Lord, we win.

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
