Psalm 103, the best is yet to come!

Psa 103:1-2, BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS:

Most people remember the LORD only when they fall into hard times! LORD HELP! But, when everything is well they tend to forget!

1Th 5:18, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 

Psa 103:3, WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR INIQUITIES, Who heals all your DISEASES, 

The first Benefit listed here is by far the most important blessing one can receive! Forgiveness of sins! WHAT GOOD IS IT IF HE HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES, YET WE END UP IN HELL?

Mar 2:5, When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the PARALYTIC, “SON, YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN YOU.” 

The Paralytic needed to be forgiven, but he and the others only saw his need to walk!

Mar 2:10-11, BUT THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN HAS POWER ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS”—He said to the paralytic, “I SAY TO YOU, ARISE, TAKE UP YOUR BED, AND GO TO YOUR HOUSE.”

Does HE heal all our diseases? Well in this world no, because our great grandparents chose to disobey GOD from the very start! But, in a future sense YES, we shall receive new bodies and we shall be like HIM! 1John 3:2

1Cor 15:51, 53, Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED— … FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY.

Psa 103:4, WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION, WHO CROWNS YOU WITH LOVINGKINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES,

HE has redeemed us from hell, like a twig being pulled out of the furnace! We all deserve death, yet HE clothes us with HIS tender mercies!

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, …

The best is yet to come! Stand fast with the LORD for HIS mercies endure forever!

Psalm 95, Worthy to be priased!

Psa 95:1-2, Oh come, let US sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the ROCK OF OUR SALVATION. LET US COME BEFORE HIS PRESENCE WITH THANKSGIVING; LET US SHOUT JOYFULLY TO HIM WITH PSALMS.

Let US, as a community of believers, give praises to the LORD for HE is worthy to be praised! To those that know their GOD, who HE is, what HE has done, and what HE has planned for those that seek HIM, must give praise to HIM for the best is yet to come!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” 

Psa 95:4-5, In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.

From the lowest valleys to the highest hills, from sea to shore, HE has created everything we see around us! HE is the master craftsmen!

Psa 95:6, OH COME, LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN; LET US KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER.

As Christians, we bow down to HIM alone, Not to a statue or image, not the work of men’s hands, but to HIM alone! 

Psa 115:5-6, They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;

These are the idols of lost men bowing to the work of men’s hands who cannot hear or see!

Psa 115:8, Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them. 

Even worse, those who make and believe in them are spiritually dead! THE DEAD PRIASING DEAD OBJECTS!

Psa 95:7-8, For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. TODAY, IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE: “DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, …

BUT HE is our GOD! The only true and living GOD! TODAY, if you hear HIS calling, listen to HIM and do not let pride get in your way! Wicked men also hear HIS calling, yet harden their hearts to HIM!

Rom 1:20, For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE,

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.
