Shalom,


Psalm 68:1 says:


1 LET GOD arise, Let His enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.


The Amplified Bible says this:


1 GOD IS [already] beginning to arise, and His enemies to scatter; let them also who hate Him flee before Him!


I REALLY like this verse AND the many forms of the song that we sing! One of my old favorites is Paul Wilbur singing in the video below:




Verse 3 says:


3 But let the [uncompromisingly] righteous be glad; let them be in high spirits and glory before God, yes, let them [jubilantly] rejoice!


THAT is what the previous video looks like to me! AMEN!


In Mark 12:29-31 Jesus tells us what the most important commandment is:


29 Jesus answered, The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord; 30 And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment. 31 The second is like it and is this, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.


If we set our heart FIRST OF ALL to love HIM with everything within us, ALL of the rest will be easier! If we are having a hard time in any particular area of life, we have let our love for HIM slip! Just make the adjustments and get right back in the flow! NO person, place, thing or event is more important than the One, True, Most High; Living, Almighty god of the Bible!


Shalom in Him!
