And, Here’s Some Of His Love

Psalm 91, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the most powerful revelations of God’s love toward us, and of our stature in this world.

I say, “stature,” because of those nine foot long beds I saw in the castles in Germany. To see the size of some of those men is awe-inspiring. I think about that scripture about the sons of Anak-the Nephilim. The Israelites saw them and they were, “like grasshoppers” in their own sight. We often see ourselves that way, in light of the tribulation or trouble we’re facing. No, no, no! In Christ Jesus, we’re as taller and mightier than anyone or anything! (Numbers 14:21), (Hab. 2:14), (Hab. 3:3), (Isa. 6:3)

I hope this is a psalm that you will post on a wall and read aloud. You will be so filled with peace, strength, and joy!

Freedom Is Responsibility

Today’s message comes to us from Psalm 82. God’s reminding us that freedom is responsibility. Status, no matter how small or how great, comes with expectations, with standards, and with boundaries. Every king and queen must know this.

“God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!” (ESV)

When you look at this from God’s vantage point, you can see that He sees us much differently than we see ourselves. How many times I was in “invincible” mode. How many times I thought I could handle it all. Oh, yeah, and that period in my life when I thought I knew it all. LOL I can laugh now, but boy was I a mess when I realized I wasn’t the one who knew it all. And, that the One who does know it all, knew me even better than I knew myself. And He still does! I’m not shocked anymore, but I sure have to laugh with Him sometimes when He reveals me.
