Psalm 92...
Psalm 92:1-15 (amplified) It is a good and delightful thing to give thanks to the Lord, To sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp, With a solemn sound on the lyre.
For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing.
How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep beyond man’s understanding.
A senseless man in his crude and uncultivated state knows nothing, Nor does a self-righteous fool understand this:
That though the wicked sprout up like grass And all evildoers flourish, They will be destroyed forever.
But You, Lord, are on high forever.
For behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do evil will be scattered.
But my horn (my emblem of strength and power)You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil for Your service.
My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
The righteous will flourish like the date palm long-lived, upright and useful; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon majestic and stable.
Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. Growing in grace they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be vital and fresh rich in trust and love and contentment;
They are living memorials to declare that the Lord is upright
and faithful to His promises; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
I was not able to go to church yesterday. But woke up to this psalm this morning...a psalm for the sabbath day...how appropriate...especially this last Sunday before the most irregular national elections that I have ever seen in my voting life...
God is in control, He raises up and tears down...His will will be done...
Thank YOU...he knows who is righteous and who are the enemies...He knows who will rise and who will fall...He knows who will flourish, grow in grace, who will thrive ....He knows who is self righteous and senseless ....
You, are on high forever....and as the battles go on before me, I need to remember that fact...thank YOU....
