Psalm 143:5-6:
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I ponder the work of Your hands. 6 I spread forth my hands to You; my soul thirsts after You like a thirsty land [for water]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
This is another good example to follow when you are faced with tests and trials. Remember all of the times that God and His Word have come through for you in the past. Meditate on those past victories so that you can maintain great confidence in Him. Your grateful and thankful attitude for all that He has done should bring you to a place where you desire His presence more than anything else! In HIS presence, there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11)! Here is Hillsong with "For All You've Done":
John 20 is all about the Resurrected Jesus appearing to His disciples. I really like verse 31:
31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His Name [through Who He is].
God gave us His Word so that we could KNOW Him! The Word of God is where we find the Way to LIFE (John 14:6)! Make sure that spending time in the Word of God is YOUR #1 priority!
Jeremiah 48-49 includes God's judgment on the nations of:
- Moab
- Ammon
- Edom
- Syria
- Kedar
- Hazor
- Elam
The Word that God gave to His prophets was to warn the nations so that they could repent. Those that did not will experience certain judgment! All of the nations of the world are without excuse because they had the opportunity to repent (change their thinking to agree with God)! They will also answer to God for the way that they treated the nation of Israel. Keep praying for YOUR nation, that they will support Israel and be her true friend! Any other choice is very dangerous!
Shalom in Him!
