King David commented that throughout his life, He never
saw a righteous person forsaken or his descendants begging bread (Psalm 37:25).
God provides for His own and He blesses thousands of generations of descendents
of those who love and serve Him (Exodus 20:6). We are happy and put all of our
hope in our Lord. He keeps every promise He makes to us with as much certainty
as He uses to keep the world He created in perfect balance (Psalm 146:5-6).
He causes the Godly to flourish like a palm tree. They
grow tall and He transplants them into His own garden, so that we are under His
personal care. Even in our old age, He sees to it that we produce fruit and
remain green and vital. Our prosperity honors the Lord, because it shows the
world that God cares for His own (Psalm 92:12-15). When we are acquainted with
God’s ways, we come to put our trust in Him, because He never forsakes anyone
who seeks Him (Psalm 9:10).
When someone or something comes
against God’s beloved, He takes it very personally (Zechariah
2:8). We are precious in His sight (Isaiah 43:3). God’s
will is not an objective to achieve, but a lifestyle to live. We trust Him
because He always helps those who seek Him (Psalm 9:10). He
never sleeps, but watches over us day and night. He cares for us and defends
us, keeping us from evil and preserving our life. He keeps his eye upon us as
we come and go, and guards us in all of our ways (Psalm 121:2-8).
Jehovah made the mountains and the heavens; and yet, is
mindful of all mankind (Psalm 8:4-6). He gives justice to the poor and the
oppressed, as well as food to the hungry. He heals the sick, lifts the burdens
of those crippled under a heavy weight, protects immigrants and cares for both
orphans and widows. The Lord loves His righteous Saints and is their defense (Psalm
146:7-9). He gives His angels charge over us, so that we never stumble or fall (Psalm
91:11-12).
Prayer:
Father God, we will never forget Your promises, Your mercy
and grace or the marvelous works You perform (Psalm 111:4-6). Your loving
kindness pours out forever and ever on those who revere You. If we are faithful
to Your covenant and obey Your precepts, Your salvation is for us and our
children (Psalm 103:17). Your love stands firm forever and You establish Your
faithfulness in Heaven and earth, and it endures forever (Psalm 89:2, 119:90).
Thought for the Day:
Those who refuse to obey the Lord do not comprehend His
might or the wonders of His creation. – Nehemiah 9:17, 31
