Shalom,


Psalm 145 is the last of the Psalms of David and the only one that is called "A Psalm Of Praise". We see in this Psalm many wonderful attributes of God that give us the answer to why we praise Him. We also see when we are to praise Him! Verse 2 especially covers how often and for how long:


2 Every day [with its new reasons] will I bless You [affectionately and gratefully praise You]; yes, I will praise Your Name forever and ever.


We should never let a day go by without some time spent in praise and worship to the One, True God! Verse 6:


6 Men shall speak of the might of your tremendous and terrible acts, and I will declare Your greatness.


This reminds me very much of  Psalm 103:7 where it says that God made known His ways to Moses, but only His acts to the other Israelites. The world can see the things that God does (in and through believers!), but only the fully committed believer can know HIM! I am with Paul in Philippians 3:10 when he says that his "determined purpose" is to KNOW HIM! How about you? Verse 17 shows us  some of the nature of our God!


17 The LORD is [rigidly] righteous in all His ways and gracious and merciful in all His works.


He is "rigidly righteous", which reveals His nature of "justice". He is also, and at the same time, "gracious and merciful"! That  is what took Jesus to the cross! His merciful nature laid down His own life to pay the price demanded by His just nature! What a powerful concept that is! Meditating on that Truth alone will completely change your life! Then we end with verse 21:


21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; and let all flesh bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) His holy Name forever and ever.


AMEN! GLORY TO GOD!


We begin today in the Book of Revelation. "Revelation" is the Greek word "apokalupsis", which means: disclosure; appearing; manifestation; uncovering; revealing. Notice that this is the "revealing" of  Jesus Christ! In verse 11a He reveals Who He is:


11a Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. 


Then we see Jesus reveal His appearance in verses 13-16:


13  And in the midst of the lampstands [One] like a Son of man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast. 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire. 15 His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. 16 In His right hand he held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday.


This is the our  Resurrected Lord Jesus! This is how He appears in heaven and WE SHALL SEE HIM! Glory to God! Verse 7 says this:


7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so [must it be] Amen (so be it).


Here is Robin Marks with Days Of Elijah:

In Jeremiah 28 we see the prophet dealing with the false prophet Hananiah. The people were believing the message of false hope that the captivity was ending rather than heeding the REAL Word of the Lord that came through Jeremiah. Verses 15-17:


15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Listen now, Hananiah, The LORD has not sent you, but you have made this people trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you will die, because you have uttered and taught rebellion against the LORD. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died [two months late4r], the same year, in the seventh month.


Make sure that YOU check out the teaching you hear with the Word of God for yourself so that you are not led off into error by anyone! Jeremiah 29 includes letters that Jeremiah sent to different groups of people. He was encouraging them to not give up during this time of exile because God had a plan for them! Verses 10-11:


10 For thus says the LORD, When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you and keep My good promise to you, causing you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the LORD, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you a hope in your final outcome.


He also has good and Godly plans for YOU! Spend time in His presence, getting to know Him, and He will reveal His good plans to you, too! Thank You Jesus!


Shalom in Him!
