Bible Ballistics: BBs #593       God’s Goodness!!!

 

Some things speak for themselves, and today I’d like to share some portions from Psalm 145 to lift, encourage, and remind us that our God is sooooooo good—all the time!  And not to be trite, but ALL THE TIME—God IS good!  May He speak to your heart today, and may we share His goodness with others whom God places in our path!  Thank you to each of you, for blessing me!

“I will extol thee,

my God,

O king;

and I will bless thy name

for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless thee;

and I will praise thy name

for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD,

and greatly to be praised;

and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise

thy works

to another,

and shall declare

thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour

of thy majesty,

and of thy

wondrous works…

… 8 The LORD is gracious,

and full of compassion;

slow to anger,

and of great mercy.

9 The LORD is good to all:

and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10 All thy works

shall praise thee, O LORD;

and thy saints

shall bless thee.

11 They shall speak

of the glory of thy kingdom,

and talk

of thy power;

12 To make known to the sons of men

his mighty acts,

and the glorious majesty of his kingdom…

… 17 The LORD is righteous

in all his ways,

and holy

in all his works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them

that call upon him,

to all that call upon him

in truth.

19 He will fulfil

the desire of them that fear him:

he also will hear

their cry,

and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them

that love him:

but all the wicked

will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak

the praise

of the LORD:

 and let all flesh

bless his holy name

for ever and ever.”  Portions of Psalm 145:1-21

Amen and Amen!!!

Bible Ballistics: BBs #592  An Amazing Prayer???

 

I would simply like to share one of Paul’s prayers with you all today; a prayer that I pray often for myself, for my family, for my friends, for the lost, and like Paul, for those I’ve only met by mail, blog or email!  May it touch and encourage your heart, and I pray that you will ponder on its message.  And just to set it in context Paul has just acknowledged that he had heard of the Colossians’ faithful love for Jesus—that’s the ‘cause’!

“For this cause we also,

since the day we heard it,

do not cease to pray for you,

and to desire that ye might be filled

with the knowledge of his will

in all wisdom

and spiritual understanding;

10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord

unto all pleasing,

being fruitful

in every good work,

 and increasing

in the knowledge of God;

11 Strengthened with all might,

according to his glorious power,

unto all patience

and longsuffering

with joyfulness;

12 Giving thanks unto the Father,

which hath made us meet

to be partakers of the inheritance

of the saints

in light:

13 Who hath delivered us

from the power of darkness,

and hath translated us

into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption

through his blood,

even the forgiveness of sins:”  Colossians 1:9-14

And a few comments from me, if you would, I pray that you have found this “redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” which Jesus has provided for all who will repent (change direction) and believe/trust in Him; and if you have, that you will truly grow in grace and truth as you seek His face continually.  That you also will learn to trust Him more and more as you are being: “filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding”!

And if you don’t know Him yet, that you will trust Him today, for He truly loves YOU!  He died for YOU!  He is calling YOU today!

“Behold, I stand at the door,

and knock:

if any man hear my voice,

and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him,

and he with me.”   Revelation 3:20

“Come unto me,

all ye that labour

and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you,

and learn of me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find rest

unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy,

and my burden is light.”   Matthew 11:28-30

Amen and Amen!!!
