GOD IN THE PSALMS(a reminder)

Psalms 108:5

Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. 

May your glory shine over all the earth.


David was one man who had an understanding of who God was in His time, his Psalms are full of revelations of the Father, the Son and even the Spirit. We cannot fully get enough songs from his worship and thanksgiving to God. No wonder then God said of him:


Acts 13:22

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.


In Psalms 24 there was a declaration:


Psalms 24:1

The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.


Do you know that everything rests on these, every definition is all around or about God. I wrote on some atheist's platform recently that they are all still about God (they say there is no God, they are actually talking about Him!) the Psalms still have something for them:


Psalms 14:1

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.


Psalms 53:1

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.


No matter how much they run from the truth, God is, and still will have the final say.


Another category are those who know that there is God but yet refuse to worship, serve or obey Him:


Psalms 3:2

Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah.


Psalms 73:11

And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?


Psalms 50:22

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.


Sometimes we ask, "why all these bother?", can't we just do what we like and live how we please, why this worry(s) about God or righteousness or eternity.


This cannot be the reasoning of the wise:


Psalms 90:12

So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.


The truth still remains that we are created in the image of God we can choose to do what we please, however we do not have the right to decide or control the consequences.


I gave this illustration to some who asked about the tree of Good and Evil. The fact that you bought electricity into your house to supply you power does not mean you should toil around with the control box that supplies this power into your home. The same way God told them not to eat of the fruit, you also instruct those in your home especially your children not to tamper with the life power source. Could they tamper with it? Yes they can, but can they control the outcome, no, it will definitely lead to an electric shock.


Excuses would not cease on why people would want to forsake the Lord and His ways. Yet the truth still remains that the earth is the Lord's and its fullness therefore. Jesus in a parable said:


Luke 19:27

 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.


The rejection of God, His Christ and His ways is an ongoing agenda of the enemy. It is a battle that has been on a long time. The infilteration in homes and churches, such that the love of God would not reign is still an ongoing mission. However it is a lost battle, yet some may find themselves on the losing side. Not you my brethren!


So don't let things move you so easily, always remember that you believe in the God who controls all things - He will definitely make it work for your good.


May the Lord keep us and sustain us may we bear the testimony of David: " one after God's heart".


He calls us blessed.


Love

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
