Praise the Lord! And He has lifted up a horn for His people, Praise for all His godly ones; Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him. Praise the Lord!

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
2 Timothy 3:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.3.12.NASB1995
It is not a matter of whether you will be persecuted, but when, if you are living a godly life.
Jesus, who led the perfect godly life, was persecuted. . .
Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
John 15:20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.20.NASB1995
Have you been there? Persecuted? Then rejoice!
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we 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.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.17.NASB1995
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
2 Corinthians 4:9-10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.9.NASB1995
And remember . . .
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
🌹To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalms 116:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.116.15.NASB1995
Why do you suppose God would consider the death of His godly ones as precious?
Does God not rejoice at the salvation of His children, His creation?
He will rescue (redeem) their life (soul) from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
Psalms 72:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.72.14.NASB1995
Even though we have received God’s redemption and our eternity from oppression and violence, we still face oppression and violence this side of heaven. But . . . One day when our mortal bodies are no more, we will receive full all God has promised to His own. How precious in the sight of God, is the death of His godly ones.
I’m saddened by those who die without Jesus. What a contrast when compared to the death of a godly saint who believed and trusted God. I am very thankful to God for the ability to rejoice at a believer’s celebration of life because they continue to live. Oh how precious.
Dedicated to Joyce and Noel.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, And be gracious to me and answer me.
Psalms 27:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.27.7.NASB1995
Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer.
Psalms 61:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.61.1.NASB1995
What will it take for You to hear and heed my prayer, Lord God?
🌹But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself; The Lord hears when I call to Him.
Psalms 4:3 NASB1995

Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13 NASB
Do people around you recognize you as different? Different from the world? Set apart?
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself; The Lord hears when I call to Him.
Psalms 4:3 NASB
Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.
Leviticus 20:26 NASB
Were Peter and John uneducated men? Untrained? In whose eyes?
Are you educated?
Are you recognized as having spent time with Jesus? In His word daily? In prayer daily? Seeking His face daily?
We should not look like the world.
We are to be a people set apart.
🌹But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter 2:9 NASB
Holy God, give me understanding of Your word and the wisdom to speak it wisely and bodly with confidence; proclaiming Your excellencies, the One who brought me out of darkness into Your marvelous Light. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer. If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed. Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. — 1 Timothy 4:4-7
What makes a good minister (servant, one who acts upon the authority of another)? One who explains to the brothers and sisters of the word of God and prayer. If you do this you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus. You are one who is nourished by the message of faith and the teaching you have followed. Train yourself to be godly. Practice being like Christ.
Disciple as Jesus discipled. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed. — 1 Timothy 6:18-19
Life is all about who we are in Jesus. Life is whatever we do, doing it all to the glory of God.
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. — 1 Corinthians 10:31
Let us seek Him through the Word and prayer so that we are affective for the kingdom of God, bring glory to His name, and enrich our lives because we live every moment for our Lord.
Continually seeking Him,
Sharon
