Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?
Hebrews 13:8Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].
I wanted to start with these three verses of Scripture that remind us and reinforce to us that our God does not lie and does not change! EVER! Now that we have established this, I want to share our Psalm for today from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! Psalm 47:
Let's remember this, and remind each other of this, when things in the world SEEM to be spinning out of control! If you have received Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior, then YOU are covered by the blood (1 John 1:7), a member of His family (Ephesians 2:19), an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus (Romans 8:17), in Covenant with the One, True Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible (Hebrews 8:6), promised protection, provision and safety IF you stay in that secret place of His presence (Psalm 91), and have been given authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19)! NOTHING can hurt you unless YOU allow it to happen by NOT staying in fellowship with the Lord, filled with Holy Spirit, full of faith and acting on His Word. Make whatever adjustments that you need to make and stay in confidence in the midst of chaos and turmoil! YOU will BE that Light that the people around you need! AMEN!

Shalom in Him!
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
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.
