Psalm 116
Good morning brothers and sisters. The Lord has disciplined me. To put it in plain English, He has whipped my butt and I am thankful. I know that not all likes to hear the bad but speaking and teaching God's whole truth is what He has called me to do. We have gotten comfortable with a soft message. God loves you but He wants us to do our part. This is a relationship and it can not be a one way street. He saved us from an eternal death and for that alone we should be singing His praise all the day long. So let's get on with kingdom business and it starts with us living a holy, biblical life. All of it. I love you too much to not tell you. God loves you too much not to tell you.
1- I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
2- Because He has inclined His ear to me. Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3- The pains of death surrounded me and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me, I found trouble and sorrow.
4- Then I called upon the name of the Lord, "O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!"
5- Gracious is the Lord and righteous. You, our God, is merciful.
6- The Lord preserves the simple. I was brought low and He saved me.
7- Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8- For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.
9- I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10- I believed therefore I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted."
11- I said in my hast, "All men are liars."
12- What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?
13- I will take up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.
14- I will pay my vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people.
15- Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
16- O Lord, truly I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant, You have loosed my bonds.
17- I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18- I will may my vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people,
19- In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. PRAISE THE LORD!
If we do nothing else, PRAISE THE LORD! If you read this or you study with me online then He has placed a calling on your life. He wants the very best for you and He will provide it. But we also should provide our very best to Him everyday. Have a blessed day and rise up child of God, rise up!
