If you ever find yourself giving in to worry, fear, stress or negative thinking, make sure that YOU do what David did! he encouraged HIMSELF in the Lord! No one can do that FOR us! We must make a determined purpose to NOT allow the enemy to steal another moment of our lives with his lies! AMEN! Here is Psalm 47 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan:
1 O clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy!
2 For the Lord Most High excites terror, awe, and dread; He is a great King over all the earth.
3 He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance for us, the glory and pride of Jacob, whom He loves. Selah[pause, and calmly think of that]!
5 God has ascended amid shouting, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding.
8 God reigns over the nations; God sits upon His holy throne.
9 The princes and nobles of the peoples are gathered together, a [united] people for the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.
Remember that the Psalms were the original "hymnal"! Many of them were actually sung as part of the Temple worship. Practice singing the Psalms and you will be SO blessed by what happens to your attitude and life! Encourage YOUR self today! AMEN! Here is an older praise song that should get you started! "God Has Gone Up With A Shout":
Shalom in Him!
