Shalom,
From today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan we have Psalm 106:1-5, which speaks of how wonderfully blessed God's children are! Both then and now!
1 Praise
the Lord! (Hallelujah!) O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His
mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! 2 Who can put into
words and tell the mighty deeds of the Lord? Or who can
show forth all the praise [that is due Him]? 3 Blessed (happy, fortunate,
to be envied) are those who observe justice [treating others fairly] and who
do right and are in right standing with God at all times. 4 [Earnestly]
remember me, O Lord, when You favor Your people! O visit me also when You
deliver them, and grant me Your salvation!— 5 That I may
see and share the welfare of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in
the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your heritage.
Than we see in verses 6-12 how, even though the nation had sinned, when they repented and looked again to Him, He delievered them!
6 We
have sinned, as did also our fathers; we have committed iniquity, we have done
wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your
miracles; they did not [earnestly] remember the multitude of Your mercies nor
imprint Your loving-kindness [on their hearts], but they were rebellious and provoked
the Lord at the sea, even at the Red Sea. 8 Nevertheless He saved them for
His name’s sake [to prove the righteousness of the divine character], that He
might make His mighty power known. 9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it
dried up; so He led them through the depths as through a pastureland. 10 And
He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the
hand of the [Egyptian] enemy. 11 And the waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left. 12 Then [Israel] believed His words [trusting
in, relying on them]; they sang His praise.
WE have the same, and BETTER promises that belong to our BETTER COVENANT! He will do NO LESS for us as we continue to look to HIM in faith, using the auithority that HE has given us to rebuke the enemy and stand strong against his devices, tricks, schemes, strategies, traps and outright evil lies! We do this KNOWING that our GOD confirms HIS WORD that WE SPEAK with signs, wonders, miracles and spectacular manifestions! Stay STRONG and READY! OUR GOD, who founded THIS NATION is very far from finished! In fact, the plans and purposaes that HE has for the USA are even greater and more fabulous than any that has gone before! Here is Hillsong with "Every Breath":
Shalom in Him!
