Today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan contains some of my very favorite passages of the Word of God! First we have Psalm 150 and who can ever argue that this is a MOST exciting Psalm?
Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power!
2 Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness!
3 Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp!
4 Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes!
5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
HALLELUJAH! Are YOU breathing right now? Then get busy praising HIM with everything within you! How can we do less? Then we have John 10. John is my very favorite of all of the Gospels. This speaks to me in a way that the others don't. I LOVE that we see from the very beginning of this Gospel that JESUS is GOD! He IS the Living Word of the Living God! Then in today's chapter we have one of the most revealing verses in Scripture concerning the will of God for us! Verse 10:
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
The difference between good and evil is addressed directly right here! The THIEF is the author of every evil work! His desire for us is death and destruction BECAUSE he hates God and wants to get to HIM through US! God's will is so clearly stated in the second part of this verse! JESUS came SO THAT WE can have AND ENJOY LIFE! This is "zoe". Life as God has within HIMSELF! And His desire is that we have THIS LIFE in ABUNDANCE! SO FULL that the overflow will reach others and show forth HIS GLORY! HALLELUJAH! Then we have 1 Samuel 26 where Saul is still continually seeking David to kill him. God put Saul right into David's hands and one of David's trusted men offered to run Saul through with his spear so that David would be done with the threats! David's reply is so very revealing and SHOULD be a warning to ANYONE who comes against a man or woman of God! Verses 9-11:
9 David said to Abishai, Do not destroy him; for who can raise his hand against the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? 10 David said, As the Lord lives, [He] will smite him; or his day will come to die or he will go down in battle and perish. 11 The Lord forbid that I should raise my hand against the Lord’s anointed; but take now the spear that is at his head and the bottle of water, and let us go.
AMEN! The next time someone rubs you wrong, pray for them! Walk away and pray! ONLY speak and move according to the Word of God and the Spirit of God! THAT will keep us in LOVE which never fails! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "See The Light":
Shalom in Him!
