The Lord is Good

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.

Lest we forget . . .

Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Let us . . .

Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

Why?

For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations.
Psalms 100:1-5 NASB1995

The Nearness of God

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.
Psalms 73:28 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.73.28.NASB1995

🙏 God, You are my place of shelter, protection, and safety. You are my refuge. What have I to fear? I put my trust in You. Drawing near to You has been so, so good for me. ¹I draw near to hear Your instruction, heed Your word, trust in Your Word, and to be near to You, Lord God. Walking with You has opened my eyes to the wonder of You. I can’t help but speak of Your wonders. Use me Lord God for Your glory and purpose. I desire to speak of Your glorious work in me, a sinner saved by grace, for Your purpose and glory. Amen.

🙌 Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count.
Psalms 40:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.40.5.NASB1995

🌹Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

¹Zephaniah 3:2

Do You KNOW Him?

Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known, then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—that you may do all these abominations? Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 7:9-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.9-11.NASB1995

Do they spite Me?” declares the Lord. “Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?”
Jeremiah 7:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.19.NASB1995

But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.’
Jeremiah 7:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jer.7.23.NASB1995

What does the church look like today? What does our walk with God look like?

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 
Matthew 7:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.21.NASB1995

🌹but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

My God, In Whom I Trust

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalms 91:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.91.1.NASB1995

🙏Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of me who takes refuge at Your right hand, from those who rise up against me.
Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings.¹
For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in their distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat. The breath of the ruthless is like a rain storm against a wall.²
Lord, You are my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon You, Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.³ 
To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies exult over me.⁴
In Your Holy Name and for Your glory I pray,  amen.
Psalms 17:7-8/Isaiah 25:4/Psalms 18:2-3/Psalms 25:1-2 NASB1995

🌹I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”

Our Majestic Lord!

O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
Psalms 8:1 NASB1995

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;

A Hopeful Faith

Now faith is the assurance (substance) of things hoped for (expected), the conviction (evidence) of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.11.1.NASB1995

As believers in Jesus Christ, through His gift of salvation, we become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end. Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
In hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? So let us with perseverance wait eagerly as we hope for what we do not see. Let’s look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Hebrews 3:14/Hebrews 3:6/Romans 8:24/Romans 8:25/2 Corinthians 4:18 NASB1995

🌹For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Pathway of Life

You will make known to me the path of life;
Psalms 16:11a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.11.NASB1995

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.14.NASB1995

In Your presence is fullness of joy;
Psalms 16:11b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.11.NASB1995

🙏How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. *Our glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon Your own. For You make us most blessed forever; You make the redeemed joyful with gladness in Your presence. Thank You, Lord! Amen.

Prioritizing God

I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Psalms 16:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.8.NASB1995

Where have you set God in your life? Is He a continuous thought on your mind? Is King Jesus sitting on the throne of your heart? Are you surrendering to His rule? Are you assured, not shaken, as David was?

Jesus is calling.

When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I shall seek.”
Psalms 27:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.27.8.NASB1995

Can you truthfully say,

. . . I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.
Psalms 73:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.73.23.NASB1995

I hope you know Jesus and can trustingly say,

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

I Need Thee Lord

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;
Indeed, my mind (inner being) instructs me in the night.
Psalms 16:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.7.NASB1995

🙏 God, ¹Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. ²With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. ³I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your doings; I muse on the work of Your hands. ⁴I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart.
Psalms 73:25/Psalms 73:24/Psalms 143:5/Psalms 77:6 NASB1995

🌹Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; For I trust in You; Teach me the way in which I should walk; For to You I lift up my soul.
