God won’t tell you about His dream for your life if He knows you’ll want to debate it.
Your enemies may get you down, but you can still call on the LORD. David did. He said, "The enemy hath persecuted my soul. ...He hath smitten my life down to the ground. ...He hath made me to dwell in darkness. ...My spirit is overwhelmed within me. ...My heart within me is desolate. ...I flee unto thee to hide me." Your enemies cannot escape when God intervenes.
Psalms 143:9,12 - "Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies. ...And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant."
PRINCIPALS - "All Creation Praises God"
The psalmist called on all creation to praise the LORD. "Praise ye him, all his angels: ...all his hosts, ...sun and moon, ...all ye stars of light, ...heaven of heavens, ...waters above the heavens, ...earth, ...fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind, ...mountains, and all hills, fruitful trees, and all cedars: beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl, ...kings of the earth, and all people, ...young men, maidens, old men and children."
Psalms 148:13 - "Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven."
PRINCIPLES - "Don't Trust In Men - Trust In God"
Here is an admonition NOT to trust in princes, or ordinary men, in whom there is no help. Men stop breathing and are buried in the earth. Look at God's record: He made heaven, earth, the sea, and everything in it. He keeps truth forever, executes judgment for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry, loosens prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, raises up those who are bowed down, and more and more.
Psalms 146:5 - "Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God."
PROPHECIES - "He Hath Not Dealt So With Any Nation"
"The LORD doth build up Jerusalem. He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. ...He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. He makes peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. ...He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel." No nation in history has been so profoundly blessed of God as Israel.
Psalms 147:12 - "Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. ...He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them."
• Every time you set a goal, you are saying, "I believe God wants me to do this by ‘such and such’ a date," and that is a statement of faith.
• Did you know... Did you know that Susanna Wesley, one of the great women of history, had 18 children. She prayed a hour daily sitting in a rocker with her head covered. One of her sons, John, founded the Methodist church and spread Christianity across West America! Another son Charles wrote over 6000 hymns!
"Ninety percent of what God wants to say to you is encouragement." If all you ever hear from God is negative messages, something’s wrong. The wires have been crossed.
Stay uncrossed & Have a great day!
