Shouts of Praise from Everything Everywhere

Psalm 148

Inspired thots

It is FITTING to PRAISE the LORD! Anytime, anywhere by everything and everyone. How amazing to note that every creation is called to praise God with man last in the list of exhortation!

And God raises a HORN for His people and PRAISE for His saints. He who is seated in heavens Always wants the Best for His beloved. What a great and loving God!

Hallelujah! Rejoice! All you His saints, Praise the LORD!

God's Delight is SO Simple

Psalm 147

Inspired thots

Man can search high and low for satisfaction; and be willing to risk much to acquire Power or Fame. But God only desires in those who fear Him or hope in His steadfast love. (v10,11) He is so mighty that He has all He need. He wants only the simple from man; his creation.

So indeed Praises to Him is seemly which would delight Him instead of sacrifices and works. How easy to be in God's favor! Hallelujah!

From Warring to Blessings

Psalm 144

Inspired thots

This is a strange psalm; it starts off with a warring prayer to a praise to God who delivers to blessings bestowed on those whose God is their Lord!

It shows how situations can change but God does not. God is in control and hears all cries to Him from a sincere heart. He gives hope, joy, peace and deliverance.

Solace in God

Psalm 143

Inspired thots

The Lord is helping me sing new songs from the Psalms. This morning, I sang Psalm 143 and had v8 my chorus. The Lord is teaching me how to have the right rhythm to suit each verse; praise His name. Only He would hear and be pleased with my off-key singing.

No one quite understands in every situation except God; hence, it is really between you and God if you want to find solace. There is no one else who can offer Hope and Peace in distressful times; desperate times. only God!

His Steadfast LOVE ENDURES Forever

Psalm 136

Inspired thots

The phrase keeps ringing out, "His steadfast love endures forever". How important to remember that! Everything that God does is motivated by L O V E!

That IN ALL SITUATIONS, it is God's STEADFAST LOVE that brings us through. Despite the bad circumstances, God's Love carries us through the dark hours just like He did for me when I had a REALLY BAD stomach pain last night. The pain was SO intense that it caused backache and difficulty in breathing..

Praise God for my husband who was beside me, covering me in loving prayer; yes, it is LOVE that carried me through. It was an intense hour; a really long hour that made me grimace with pain. Thank YOU LORD for your Steadfast Love endured forever!

Unity Amongst Brethren

Psalm 133

Inspired thots

The Lord gave a song for this psalm especially verse 1. "Behold, how good and pleasant it is, when brothers dwell in unity."

Resting in the Lord

Psalm 132

Inspired thots

King David wanted to build a temple for God although God does not dwell in man-made structures. However, God is pleased with King David's attitude of loving Him to honor Him with a dwelling place.  When we know God's dwelling place, we also can enter into it and enjoy the rest we need and want. We can worship at His footstool and be clothed with righteousness.

Obedience is key through a personal encounter with God. How necessary to rest in the Lord to renew our strength. God's resting place is that of righteousness and obedience. Hallelujah for His revelation.

Humility Brings Hope

A song of humility to the Lord as I am reminded to be HUMBLE before the LORD for HOPE to arise. The SOUL needs to be QUIET to be at Peace and to Hear from God. There is Great Contentment when one is humble and quiet before God; like a child contented at its mother's breast.

The SOUL Waits

Persistency Over Affliction

Psalm 129

Inspired thots

Life is not a bed of roses; even if it were, there are thorns on the roses. Hence, afflictions are bound to come. 

Plowers will plow upon the back rather than the field but they shall not break my back because the Lord God is righteous and He is with me. I suffered bad backache yesterday night and the Lord healed me when I persisted. I called upon the Lord for healing and kept focused on Him. He gave me rest for the rest of the night. What a revelation! When I thought little of this psalm upon its first read; how amazing God works! God's Word is truly living and active.

Yes, Lord! May the Blessing of the Lord be upon me a I learn to be persistent in Him! Amen.

My HOUSE(hold) Belongs to God

March 7, 2013

Inspired thots

Whatever problems there may be in the home, if it is dedicated to the Lord, He will deal with them and set all things right. Hence, there is no need for any anxiety as God sees and knows all. He will not let His children suffer in despair for He sees and knows our hearts' desires.

How good of the Lord to provide me with restful sleep these few weeks; especially since I came back from KK. The breaking, shaking, shifting and loosing of strongholds in me allow God to pour in more and more of His grace in place of the old structures. Hallelujah!

My children shall be called BLESSED as I commit them to the Lord! God shall mold them Himself to His glory. My husband shall arise to speak to the enemies and be victorious! My mom shall glow with God's favor and revelation. I shall enjoy the fullness of the Lord as I commit one and all in my house to God. Amen! Amen!

Honor and Glory to God's Chosen

Psalm 122

It is good to spend time with God; whether in the house of God or at home or anywhere else. It is a time of fellowship with the Lord and waiting for His presence and revelation.

For the sake of the HOUSE of the Lord our God, I will seek your good (v9). The Lord's heart is on Jerusalem; the apple of His eye! Hence, let faith arise in Jerusalem upon God's chosen nation of Israel!
