Shalom,

Today we read Psalm 138 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and I want to share the whole Psalm with you today!

[A Psalm] of David.
1 I will confess and praise You [O God] with my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praises to You. 2 I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name! 3 In the day when I called, You answered me; and You strengthened me with strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) in my inner self. 4 All the kings of the land shall give You credit and praise You, O Lord, for they have heard of the promises of Your mouth [which were fulfilled]. 5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully celebrate His mighty acts, for great is the glory of the Lord. 6 For though the Lord is high, yet has He respect to the lowly [bringing them into fellowship with Him]; but the proud and haughty He knows and recognizes [only] at a distance. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. 8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the works of Your own hands.

Verse 2 has always been one of my very favorite verses! We KNOW that the Name of Jesus is higher than any other! BUT, we learn here that it is the Living Word of the Living God that makes the NAME so powerful! If you will mediate on this Psalm (Joshua 1:8 AMPC) asking Holy Spirit to teach you (Psalm 25:5) you will find your self walking in a greater degree of wisdom, understanding, Grace and power!

Shalom in Him!
