Psalm 149, Praising GOD our maker!

Psa 149:1, Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints. 

In most of the book of psalms there are trials, evils, crisis, and mourning’s brought to the LORD, but the last 5 Psalms it’s about praising GOD! Like in life, for those that love the LORD, we have our trials, but at the end we will end up praising GOD for all that HE has done!

Rev 21:4, AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES; THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.” 

Psa 149:4, FOR THE LORD TAKES PLEASURE IN HIS PEOPLE; HE WILL BEAUTIFY THE HUMBLE WITH SALVATION. 

Salvation only comes from the LORD, and HE shall beautify HIS Bride, the church, with salvation and righteousness!

Isa 61:10, I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; FOR HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HAS COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 

Psa 149:5-6, LET THE SAINTS BE JOYFUL IN GLORY; LET THEM SING ALOUD ON THEIR BEDS. LET THE HIGH PRAISES OF GOD BE IN THEIR MOUTH, AND A TWO-EDGED SWORD IN THEIR HAND,

Wow, this is one of those verses that I will never forget! January 12th, 2018 my manager walked into my office and said, “I have to let you go”! When I got home, I grabbed my bible, and laid in bed praising GOD for all that HE has done! I just opened the bible and it opened to this Psalm! Psalm 149:5-6! I realized that was a picture of me! Lying in bed, praising GOD, with a two-edged sword in my hands; the bible!

Hebrews 4:12, For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Praise GOD for HIS faithfulness! Praise HIM for HIS goodness; for nothing and no one escapes HIS sights!

Psalm 116, HE is with us in times of trouble!

Psa 116:1-2, I LOVE THE LORD, BECAUSE HE HAS HEARD MY VOICE AND MY SUPPLICATIONS. BECAUSE HE HAS INCLINED HIS EAR TO ME, THEREFORE I WILL CALL UPON HIM AS LONG AS I LIVE.

No one likes going through any trial, but the beauty in trials, FOR THE BELIEVER, is when HE hears and responds to your call! THEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR NOT ALONE! HE IS HERE!

Isa 41:10, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ 

Psa 116:5-6, GRACIOUS IS THE LORD, AND RIGHTEOUS; YES, OUR GOD IS MERCIFUL. THE LORD PRESERVES THE SIMPLE; I WAS BROUGHT LOW, AND HE SAVED ME.

Compared to HIS massive creation we are but microorganisms, YET HE PRESERVES THE SIMPLE! WE ARE BUT DUST, AND STILL HE LOVES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!

Luk 12:24, Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of HOW MUCH MORE VALUE ARE YOU THAN THE BIRDS?

Psa 144:3, LORD, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? 

Psa 116:10, I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE, “I am greatly afflicted.” 

The Psalmist was greatly afflicted, so in faith he spoke to the LORD in prayer! Paul used this same verse to justify him speaking of Christ JESUS in trying times!

2Co 4:13-14, And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I BELIEVED AND THEREFORE I SPOKE,” we also believe and THEREFORE SPEAK, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.

Psa 116:11, I SAID IN MY HASTE, “ALL MEN ARE LIARS.” 

In trials, we may get overwhelmed and say things in haste; saying things that shouldn’t have been said! IT IS MUCH EASIER TO BE QUITE THAN TO RECALL THE WORDS THAT WERE SAID! Calling on GOD, yet cursing men?

Jas 3:10, Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT TO BE SO. 

While HE is faithful and steadfast, we are inconsistent at best! THANK YOU LORD!
