Shalom,
We read Psalm 147 in today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan and I want to share this portion with you today because it is FOR today!
1 Praise
the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God, for He is gracious and lovely;
praise is becoming and appropriate.
2 The
Lord is building up Jerusalem; He is gathering together the exiles of Israel.
3 He
heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their
sorrows].
4 He
determines and counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by
their names.
5 Great
is our Lord and of great power; His understanding is inexhaustible and boundless.
6 The
Lord lifts up the humble and downtrodden; He casts the wicked down to
the ground.
7 Sing
to the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises with the harp or the lyre
to our God!—
8 Who
covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes
grass to grow on the mountains.
9 He
gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens that for which they cry.
10 He
delights not in the strength of the horse, nor does He take pleasure in the
legs of a man.
11 The
Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear
Him, in those who hope in His mercy and loving-kindness.
12 Praise
the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For
He has strengthened and made hard the bars of your gates, and He has blessed
your children within you.
14 He
makes peace in your borders; He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He
sends forth His commandment to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
Here is Lamb with a song that speaks of Jerusalem, "The Set Time Has Come"! ISRAEL and AMERICA are BOTH nations created by ALMIGHTY GOD for HIS plans and purposes! HIS promises to them are TRUE and SURE!
Shalom in Him!
