Good morning and Peace to you ALL today,
Whenever I am directed to read this, my heart rejoices in me. After all, why wouldn't it when we come to know just how great JAHs mercy and love IS towards US.
There is so much to glean here and I know you all will find verses that resound within you.
One thing that is a huge confusion for me is when certain folks ask "Why should I love God, or If God truly loves me, prove it!"
In talking with a dear one yesterday (peace to you) about just how much we are loved, my question would be to those above is this...." Why WOULDNT YOU LOVE JAH?" He has already proven His Love by giving his greatest gift and making the biggest sacrifice for this world.
HIS SON!
And when our Lord and master walked the earth he shared this...
JOHN 12:47...
" For I came NOT to judge the world, but to SAVE the world."
Truly something we would want to Praise JAH and Christ for. Truly something that is good news for the world. And so when JAH tells us to... " Listen TO...and obey the one HE SENT to save the world"...
Wouldn't love for them move us to truly try our best? At least?
Truly deserving our praise!!!
May any who wish to hear be given ears to hear the spirit and the bride say, "COME!" And anyone truly thirsting for Truth which IS Christ, "COME!" Take lifeswater which is Holy Spirit from our Lord who is that glorified Spirit for FREE!!!
I know many already know this, I just wanted to share how encouraged and thankful I am today!
Love, your sister fellow servant and slave of Christ, Kim
Enjoy... Psalms 145 I will exalt you, O my God the King,+ I will praise your name forever and ever.+ 2 All day long I will praise you;+ I will praise your name forever and ever.+ 3 Jehovah is great and most worthy of praise;+ His greatness is unsearchable.*+ 4 Generation after generation will praise your works; They will tell about your mighty acts.+ 5 Of the glorious splendor of your majesty they will speak+ And on your wonderful works I will meditate. 6 They will speak about your awe-inspiring deeds,* And I will declare your greatness. 7 They will bubble over as they recall your abundant goodness,+ And they will shout joyfully because of your righteousness.+ 8 Jehovah is compassionate* and merciful,+ Slow to anger and great in loyal love.+ 9 Jehovah is good to all,+ And his mercy is evident in all his works. 10 All your works will glorify you, O Jehovah,+ And your loyal ones will praise you.+ 11 They will proclaim the glory of your kingship+ And speak about your mightiness,+ 12 To make known to men your mighty acts+ And the glorious splendor of your kingship.+ 13 Your kingship is an eternal kingship, And your dominion endures throughout all generations.+ 14 Jehovah supports all who are falling And raises up all who are bowed down.[/u][/b] 15 All eyes look hopefully to you; You give them their food in its season. 16 You open your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing.+ 17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways+ And loyal in all that he does.+[i][u] 18 Jehovah is near to all those calling on him, To all who call on him in truth. 19 He satisfies the desire of those who fear him;+ He hears their cry for help, and he rescues them.+ 20 Jehovah guards all those who love him,+ But all the wicked he will annihilate.+ 21 My mouth will declare the praise of Jehovah;+ Let every living thing* praise his holy name forever and ever.+
146 Praise Jah!*+ Let my whole being* praise Jehovah.+ 2 I will praise Jehovah all my life. I will sing praises* to my God as long as I live. 3 Do not put your trust in princes* Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation.+ 4 His spirit* goes out, he returns to the ground;+ On that very day his thoughts perish.+ 5 Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper,+ Whose hope is in Jehovah his God,+ 6 The Maker of heaven and earth, Of the sea, and of all that is in them,+ The One who always remains faithful,+ 7 The One securing justice for those defrauded, The One giving bread to the hungry.+ Jehovah is releasing the prisoners.*+ 8 Jehovah is opening the eyes of the blind;+ Jehovah is raising up those bowed down;+ Jehovah loves the righteous. 9 Jehovah is protecting the foreign residents; He sustains the fatherless child and the widow,+ But he thwarts the plans of the wicked.*+ 10 Jehovah will be King forever,+ Your God, O Zion, for generation after generation.
Psalms 147 Praise Jah!* It is good to sing praises* to our God; How pleasant and fitting it is to praise him!+ 2 Jehovah is building Jerusalem;+ He gathers together the dispersed ones of Israel.+ 3 He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls all of them by name.+ 5 Our Lord is great and is mighty in power;+ His understanding is beyond measure.+ 6 Jehovah raises up the meek,+ But he hurls the wicked to the ground. 7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God, accompanied by the harp, 8 The One who covers the heavens with clouds, The One providing rain for the earth,+ The One making grass sprout+ on the mountains. 9 To the animals he gives food,+ To the young ravens that call out for it.+ 10 He does not delight in the power of the horse;+ Nor is he impressed by the strong legs of a man.+ 11 Jehovah finds pleasure in those who fear him,+ In those waiting for his loyal love.+ 12 Glorify Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion. 13 He makes the bars of your city gates strong; He blesses your sons within you. 14 He brings peace to your territory;+ He satisfies you with the finest* wheat.+ 15 He sends his command to the earth; His word runs swiftly. 16 He sends the snow like wool;+ He scatters the frost just like ashes.+ 17 He hurls down his hailstones* like morsels of bread.+ Who can withstand his cold?+ 18 He sends out his word, and they melt. He makes his wind blow,+ and the waters flow. 19 He declares his word to Jacob, His regulations and judgments to Israel.+ 20 He has not done so with any other nation;+ They know nothing about his judgments. Praise Jah!*+
148 Praise Jah!* Praise Jehovah from the heavens;+ Praise him in the heights. 2 Praise him, all his angels.+ Praise him, all his army.+ 3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all shining stars.+ 4 Praise him, O highest heavens* And waters above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, For he commanded, and they were created.+ 6 He keeps them established forever and ever;+ He has issued a decree that will not pass away.+ 7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, You great sea creatures and all deep waters, 8 You lightning and hail, snow and thick clouds, You storm wind, carrying out his word,+ 9 You mountains and all you hills,+ You fruit trees and all you cedars,+ 10 You wild animals+ and all you domestic animals, You creeping things and winged birds, 11 You kings of the earth and all you nations, You princes and all you judges of the earth,+ 12 You young men and young women,* Old men and young together.* 13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, For his name alone is unreachably high.+ His majesty is above earth and heaven.+ 14 He will exalt the strength* of his people, For the praise of all his loyal ones, Of the sons of Israel, the people close to him. Praise Jah!*
149 Praise Jah!* Sing to Jehovah a new song;+ Praise him in the congregation of the loyal ones.+ 2 Let Israel rejoice in its Grand Maker;+ Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name with dancing+ And sing praises* to him, accompanied by the tambourine and the harp.+ 4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people.+ He adorns the meek with salvation.+ 5 Let the loyal ones exult in glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds.+ 6 Let the songs praising God be in their throat, And a two-edged sword be in their hand, 7 To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples, 8 To bind their kings with shackles And their nobles with iron fetters, 9 To execute the judgment written against them.+ This honor belongs to all his loyal ones. Praise Jah!*
150 Praise Jah!*+ Praise God in his holy place.+ Praise him in the expanse of* his strength.+ 2 Praise him for his mighty works.+ Praise him for his exceeding greatness.+ 3 Praise him with the sounding of the horn.+ Praise him with the stringed instrument and the harp.+ 4 Praise him with the tambourine+ and the circle dance. Praise him with strings+ and the flute.*+ 5 Praise him with ringing cymbals. Praise him with crashing cymbals.+[b] 6 Every breathing thing—let it praise Jah
