Today I am going to post ALL of Psalm 146 because it is SO good!
1 PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord, O my soul! 2 While I live will I praise the Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 When his breath leaves him, he returns to his earth; in that very day his [previous] thoughts, plans, and purposes perish. 5 Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is he who has the God of [special revelation to] Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever, 7 Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners, 8 The Lord opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the [uncompromisingly] righteous (those upright in heart and in right standing with Him). 9 The Lord protects and preserves the strangers and temporary residents, He upholds the fatherless and the widow and sets them upright, but the way of the wicked He makes crooked (turns upside down and brings to ruin). 10 The Lord shall reign forever, even Your God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
The time to praise the Lord for all of the wonderful things He has done is right now, and right here on earth! And while you're at it, remember this: As a born again believer in Jesus of Nazareth, you have the "breath" of God in you! HIS breath contains His spiritual DNA! It is everything that causes God to BE God, in you! Don't take this lightly! Meditate on these Truths until they simply explode on the inside of you! THEN go about your Father's business, "breathing" His Word, His Life and His Light on everyone you meet! Some will receive and others will not, but YOU will have done your part! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Everything That Has Breath":
Shalom in Him!
