Good Morning Y'all. I just want to share a few verses this morning from Psalm 33. My prayer for you is that these verses will encourage your heart as they did mine. It is so sweet to take a few minutes at the beginning of each day and just spend some time letting the FATHER pour the soothing balm of HIS WORD on my heart. I am so thankful that HE has given us HIS WORD, and that HE invites us to come and hear HIS VOICE to our hearts morning after morning....and if needed more often than that. We can stop at any time during our day and ponder HIS WORD and HE will speak it into our hearts. Think about that for just a minute. Ponder the reality that the GOD who spoke and creation came into existence has inivted us, you and me, to HEAR HIS VOICE.
What are you going to do with that invitation in 2008?
Let's look at a few verses from this chapter. Let's start with verses 6 and 9 and then we will move over to the end of the chapter. By the WORD of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the BREATH OF HIS MOUTH all their host.
Think about that. BY HIS WORD...HE SPOKE everything into existence. HE can speak peace into your heart. HE can speak tranquility into the storm that you are in. HE can speak and all of creation jumps to attention.
For HE spoke, and it was done; HE commanded, and it stood fast.
Now, let's look at verses 18-21. Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear HIM, On those who hope for HIS lovingkindness, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; HE is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in HIM, Because we TRUST in HIS HOLY NAME.
HE sees those who fear HIM. HE is watching moment by moment those who have put all of their hope in HIM. HIS plan is to deliver from death and famine....be that physical death or spiritual death...HE has deliverance in mind for HIS people. Can you say with the Psalmist, this morning, that your heart rejoices in HIM? Can you say that you TRUST HIS NAME? Ask HIM to search your heart. Ask HIM to fill your heart with trust. Ask HIM to grow you this year, even this day, in ways that you never would have imagined possible. Ask HIM to use whatever trial you are currently facing to draw your heart closer to HIS OWN.
Let's wrap up by praying together Psalm 33:22
LET YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS, O LORD, BE UPON US, ACCORDING AS WE HAVE HOPED YOU. FATHER, LET THIS BE TRUE IN OUR LIVES. LET US BE EVER HOPING IN YOUR NAME. LET US LEARN TO RUN TO WHO YOU ARE. TEACH OUR HEARTS TO TRUST WHEN LOGIC WOULD TELL US TO RUN. TEACH OUR HEARTS TO RELAX IN YOU AND TO WAIT FOR YOU EVEN IF THE STORM IS RAGING AND THE WINDS ARE BOISTEROUS AND THE WAVES ARE CRASHING IN AROUND US. TEACH US TO REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVEN'T SENT US INTO THE STORM ALONE, BUT YOU ARE ALREADY THERE. THANK YOU FOR BEING TENDER AGAIN THIS MORNING WITH MY HEART. JESUS, I LOVE YOU. IT IS IN YOUR MOST HOLY NAME THAT WE PRAY THIS MORNING. AMEN
