Psalm 96, The Good news!

Psa 96:1-2, Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless His name; PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS OF HIS SALVATION FROM DAY TO DAY.

We as Christians are able to sing to the LORD for HE has paid our debt and cleansed us through HIS Blood! JESUS said “go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, Mar 16:15”.

Eph 2:17-19, And HE came and preached PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE AFAR OFF AND TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR. For through HIM we both have access by one Spirit to the FATHER. Now, therefore, YOU ARE NO LONGER STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD,

Psa 96:3, DECLARE HIS GLORY AMONG THE NATIONS, His wonders among ALL peoples. 

If you have received the good news of HIS salvation, don’t keep it to yourself, make it known throughout the world!

Mat 28:19-20, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Psa 96:10, SAY AMONG THE NATIONS, “The LORD reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.” 

The nations worry about global warming, but this is a GLOBAL WARNING, the LORD is coming back to judge the living and the dead!

Gen 8:22, While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night SHALL NOT CEASE

Psa 96:12-13, Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the LORD. FOR HE IS COMING, FOR HE IS COMING TO JUDGE THE EARTH. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.

The fields, the trees, in fact the whole world will rejoice at HIS coming

Rom 8:21, because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.  BE PREPARED FOR HE IS NEAR, BE READY FOR HE IS COMING SOON! PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS THAT THERE IS SALVATION IN HIM!

Psalm 60, The problem of sin in the camp!

Psa 60:1-2, …YOU HAVE CAST US OFF; YOU HAVE BROKEN US DOWN; YOU HAVE BEEN DISPLEASED; OH, RESTORE US AGAIN! You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.

David knew something was wrong between them and GOD when he experienced defeat before his enemies! BUT WORSE THAN DEFEAT IS KNOWING THAT GOD HAS LEFT THEM ALONE! IT’S OUR SINS THAT BLOCK THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD.

Isa 59:1-2, Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED YOU FROM YOUR GOD; AND YOUR SINS HAVE HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM YOU, SO THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR.

Psa 60:3, You have shown Your people hard things; YOU HAVE MADE US DRINK THE WINE OF CONFUSION.

Israel’s defeat was a hard lesson for them to take in! WHY, WHAT HAPPEN, WHAT DID WE DO WRONG; They were confused.  Like Joshua was when he was defeated in battle of AI!

Jos 7:10-11, So the LORD said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. ….

It wasn’t that GOD failed Israel or wasn’t strong enough to protect them, but sin got in the way of HIS blessings! The LORD tells Joshua, GET UP! HE DOESN’T NEED TO BEG THAT GOD WOULD CHANGE HIS HEART TOWARDS ISRAEL, BUT THAT ISRAEL WILL CHANGE THEIR HEART TOWARDS GOD!

Psa 60:9-10, Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? IS IT NOT YOU, O GOD, WHO CAST US OFF? AND YOU, O GOD, WHO DID NOT GO OUT WITH OUR ARMIES?

The LORD will correct those whom HE loves!

Heb 12:6, FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CHASTENS, AND SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.” 

Psa 60:11-12, Give us help from trouble, FOR THE HELP OF MAN IS USELESS. THROUGH GOD WE WILL DO VALIANTLY, FOR IT IS HE WHO SHALL TREAD DOWN OUR ENEMIES.

THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR US, BUT WE NEED TO FULLY FOLLOW HIM IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES! TRUST IN THE LORD!

Psalm 34, the LORD is good!

Psa 34:1-2, …I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

The LORD was always in David’s mind! Whatever David did he was always giving thanks to the LORD! SO MUST WE!

Col 3:17, AND WHATEVER YOU DO IN WORD OR DEED, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER THROUGH HIM. 

Psa 34:3-4, OH, MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME, AND LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER. I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND HE HEARD ME, AND DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS.

David constantly sought the LORD for he was pursued by Saul who wanted to kill him! THE LORD HEARD HIS CRY FOR HELP

Psa 34:15, THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR CRY. 

Righteous doesn’t mean perfect for all men have sinned! BEING RIGHTEOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS CONSTANTLY SEEKING THE LORD AND HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE HIM! TEACHING OTHERS REGARDING THE LORD AND DOING WHAT HE HAS GIVEN YOU TO DO! RIGHTEOUSNESS IS WISDOM AND THE WISE SHALL SHINE LIKE STARS ABOVE!

Dan 12:3, Those who are WISE SHALL SHINE Like the brightness of the firmament, AND THOSE WHO TURN MANY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS LIKE THE STARS FOREVER AND EVER. 

Psa 34:17-19, THE RIGHTEOUS CRY OUT, AND THE LORD HEARS, AND DELIVERS THEM OUT OF ALL THEIR TROUBLES. The LORD is near to those who have a BROKEN HEART, And saves such as have a CONTRITE SPIRIT. MANY ARE THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL.

Cry out to the LORD all you people; seek HIS face for that is true wisdom! HE is our refuge and strength in times of trouble! THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE HEARS OUR CRY! HE IS GOOD AND BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO KNOWS HIM!

Psa 34:8, OH, TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD; BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN HIM!
