Here is the BEST encouragement that I can give you for today! Psalm 138 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan!
Psalm 138 [A Psalm] of David.
1 I will confess and praise You [O God] with
my whole heart; before the gods will I sing praises to You.
2 I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise
Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness;
for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You
have magnified Your word above all Your name!
3 In the day when I called, You answered me; and You
strengthened me with strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) in my
inner self.
4 All the kings of the land shall give You credit and praise
You, O Lord, for they have heard of the promises of Your mouth [which were
fulfilled].
5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully
celebrate His mighty acts, for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though the Lord is high, yet has He respect to
the lowly [bringing them into fellowship with Him]; but the proud and haughty
He knows and recognizes [only] at a distance.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive
me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your
right hand will save me.
8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your
mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, endure forever—forsake not the
works of Your own hands.
There are two portions here that especially minister to me today! Verse 2 tells us that the WORD of GOD is even higher than His NAME, which is above every other name that has ever been given! How then can the WORD be higher? Because it is by the WORD of the LIVING GOD that the NAME is given POWER! HALLELUJAH! Verses 4-5 tell us that there will be a time when all of the kings (rulers) of the earth will give praise and honor to OUR GOD! They will also sing and celebrate all that HE has done! I am believing that this last great wave of God's GLORY and POWER will sweep SO MANY people into His kingdom that nobody ever expected! Including many of the rulers of the earth! What a great and glorious day THAT will be! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "What A Beautiful Name":Shalom in Him!
