Shalom,
Today I want to encourage you with Psalm 5 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan!
To the Chief
Musician; on wind instruments. A Psalm of David.
1 Listen
to my words, O Lord, give heed to my sighing and groaning. 2 Hear the sound of my cry, my King and
my God, for to You do I pray. 3 In
the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a
sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].
4 For You are not a God Who takes pleasure in wickedness; neither will the
evil [man] so much as dwell [temporarily] with You.
5 Boasters
can have no standing in Your sight; You abhor all evildoers. 6 You will
destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors [and rejects] the bloodthirsty
and deceitful man.
7 But
as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast
love and mercy; I will worship toward and at Your holy
temple in reverent fear and awe of You. 8 Lead me, O Lord, in
Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way level (straight and
right) before my face.
9 For
there is nothing trustworthy or steadfast or truthful in
their talk; their heart is destruction [or a destructive chasm, a yawning
gulf]; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter and make smooth with
their tongue. 10 Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own
designs and counsels; cast them out because of the multitude of their
transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
11 But
let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let
them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over
them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in
You and be in high spirits. 12 For You, Lord, will bless the
[uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with
You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and
favor).
As you read and meditate (Joshua 1:8 AMPLIFIED) on these verses, allow Holy Spirit to show you clearly the different results that a child of the Living God has over the wicked and evil doers! You can see clearly the situation in our world today and have GREAT confidence in the powerfully good outcome that the people of God WILL have as we continue in FAITH in HIM!

Shalom in Him!
