Psalm 17, we will be like HIM!

Psa 17:4-5, … BY THE WORD OF YOUR LIPS, I HAVE KEPT AWAY FROM THE PATHS OF THE DESTROYER. UPHOLD MY STEPS IN YOUR PATHS, THAT MY FOOTSTEPS MAY NOT SLIP.

David not only knew GOD’s word, but also lived it! Men ate food to stay healthy and strong, YET THE MOST IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS CAME FROM THE WORD OF GOD! FOOD FOR OUR SOULS!

Mat 4:4, But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.’ ” 

HIS word is not meant to deprive us from anything good, but it’s meant to keep us on a sure and solid foundation! IF WE BUILD ON THE ROCK WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!

Deu 32:3-4, FOR I PROCLAIM THE NAME OF THE LORD: ASCRIBE GREATNESS TO OUR GOD. HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUSTICE, A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INJUSTICE; RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT IS HE.

Psa 17:14, With Your hand from men, O LORD, From MEN OF THE WORLD who have their portion in this life, And WHOSE BELLY YOU FILL WITH YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE. THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH CHILDREN, AND LEAVE THE REST OF THEIR POSSESSION FOR THEIR BABES. 

The majority of people only live for the present which is quickly passing away! Life is but a vapor which comes and then it’s gone!

Jas 4:14, WHEREAS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY.

Psa 17:15, AS FOR ME, I WILL SEE YOUR FACE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; I SHALL BE SATISFIED WHEN I AWAKE IN YOUR LIKENESS. 

Whereas men only lived for the present, DAVID LIVED FOR GOD! DAVID KNEW ONE DAY HE WILL SEE THE LORDS FACE! DAVID KNEW ONE DAY HIS BODY WILL RECEIVE A MAJOR UPGRADE IN THE LIKENESS OF JESUS, AND SO WILL WE! KEEP THE FAITH AND SEEK HIM!

1Jn 3:2, Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed WHAT WE SHALL BE, but we know that when HE IS REVEALED, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.

Esther 9, from Mourning to Joy

Est 9:2-3, The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, BECAUSE FEAR OF THEM FELL UPON ALL PEOPLE. And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and all those doing the king’s work, helped the Jews, BECAUSE THE FEAR OF MORDECAI FELL UPON THEM.

Deu 2:25, … I WILL BEGIN TO PUT THE DREAD AND FEAR OF YOU UPON THE NATIONS UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, WHO SHALL HEAR THE REPORT OF YOU, AND SHALL TREMBLE AND BE IN ANGUISH BECAUSE OF YOU.’ 

The LORD can put a thought in their head, and fear their hearts! YET BELIEVERS IN HIM SHOULD NEVER FEAR BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US A DIFFERENT SPIRIT!

2Ti 1:7, FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND. 

Est 9:22, as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month WHICH WAS TURNED FROM SORROW TO JOY FOR THEM, AND FROM MOURNING TO A HOLIDAY;

Whatever situation that were in HE can change it for good! REMEMBER JOSEPH!

Gen 50:20, BUT AS FOR YOU, YOU MEANT EVIL AGAINST ME; BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

Psa 30:5, …WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING. 

We are limited in our thoughts and understanding, yet HE KNOWS ALL. We may not know why something has happened but HE can change use anything to HIS gain! HAVE FAITH IN TIMES OF TROUBLE FOR HE IS ALWAYS WORKING ON YOUR BEHALF!

Rom 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 

Psa 30:11-12, YOU HAVE TURNED FOR ME MY MOURNING INTO DANCING; YOU HAVE PUT OFF MY SACKCLOTH AND CLOTHED ME WITH GLADNESS, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD MY GOD, I WILL GIVE THANKS TO YOU FOREVER.
