Psalm 117

 “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples! For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭117‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ 

This is the whole psalm. Two verses. Read and obey. 

1. Praise the Lord!

2.Laud Him! Laud means high praise especially in public. Don’t be ashamed of your Savior!!!

3. His merciful kindness is great! Yes, yes, yes!!!

4.Truth of the Lord is His Word….lives forever! Read it, learn it, study it, obey it!!!

5. Then praise the Lord some more!!!

What you looking at?

 “while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭

All you see with your eyes is temporary. All you see with your spiritual eyes is eternal. What are you focused on? The wise will focus on what is eternal not what will be gone as soon as death comes!

Wise in own opinion

 “Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭16‬ ‭

Several good teachings in the verse from God’s word.

1. Be of same mind…the mind of Christ is to be our goal with the brothers and sisters of the faith.

2. High things…the big shot crowd is not where you are to set your mind but with humble people of the Lord.

3. Don’t be wise…as far as thinking you are better than others but be humble.

May we all check ourselves in these areas as the Word of God teaches!

Are we listening?

 ““But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭

These are the words of Jesus!!! We had better do what we are told no matter how difficult it is. 

Chew on that and do it today!

Never take for granted.

 “for I delight in your commands because I love them.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭47‬ ‭

I was reading a story this morning about people in communist countries who can not get a Bible. They desire God’s Word but have no way to read it! May we who have it, never take it for granted and read it everyday. Pray for those to get God’s word so they may learn it and follow Jesus faithfully!
