Psalm 112 is another Hallelujah psalm! The entire psalm speaks of the results of obeying the LORD and doing things HIS way! Verse 1:
1 PRAISE THE LORD! (Hallelujah!) Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who fears (reveres and worships) the LORD, who delights greatly in His commandments.
Doing things God's way has ALWAYS brought blessings! Even during dire circumstances! Joseph was in prison, yet he found great favor wherever he was and ended up second in command to the pharaoh himself! Daniel and the Hebrew children endured tests and trials, but the LORD delivered them when they refused to compromise! Whatever situation you may find yourself in, REMEMBER your Covenant with the One, True God, through the precious Blood of Jesus of Nazareth! HE never takes it lightly, and neither should we! So much of what we endure comes from our ignorance of the provisions of that Covenant! Stay in the Word and grow up! I plan on it! The only people who will not be happy when we are blessed are those spoken of in verse 10:
10 The wicked man will see it and be grieved and angered, he will gnash his teeth and disappear [in despair], the desire of the wicked shall perish and come to nothing.
It PAYS to do things God's Way! AMEN!
Luke 24 is all about the Resurrection! HE IS RISEN!!! HALLELUJAH! Here is It IS Finished by Sarah Hart Pearsons. I love this song!
Not only do we serve the ONLY God Who gave HIMSELF for us, we have the only One Who is RISEN from the dead! All the rest are just plain DEAD! Let's live in the fullness of our Covenant and REALLY bring Glory to His Name!
Here are some pictures of the EMPTY tomb from our trip to Israel last year:
The Empty Tomb!
Pastor Bill Novak rejoicing that "He Is Risen"! Hallelujah!
AMEN!!!
GLORY TO GOD!Deuteronomy 28 gave us the blessings for obeying the Word of God, and the curses that come into our lives when we don't! Deuteronomy 30:19-20 couldn't be more clear in revealing the Father's heart toward us!
19 I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live. 20 And may love the LORD your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
God's WILL is for us is to obey and be blessed! AMEN! Deuteronomy 29:29 also tells us this:
29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
He has given us (revealed to us) His Word so that we CAN obey! Let's choose blessing!
Shalom in Him!
