  Yesterday I left unread one Psalm that I planned to peruse. Today I realized what jewel I lost . This is a real encouragement Psalm. It really helped me today to boost my trust in the Lord . Check it out.

  1 I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! and I’ll bless your name into eternity.

  2 I’ll bless you every day,
  and keep it up from now to eternity.
  3 God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough.
  There are no boundaries to his greatness.
  4 Generation after generation stands in awe of your work;
  each one tells stories of your mighty acts.
  5 Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking;
  I compose songs on your wonders.
  6 Your marvelous doings are headline news;
  I could write a book full of the details of your greatness.
  7 The fame of your goodness spreads across the country;
  your righteousness is on everyone’s lips.

  8 God is all mercy and grace—
  not quick to anger, is rich in love.

  9 God is good to one and all;
  everything he does is suffused with grace.

  10-11 Creation and creatures applaud you, God;
  your holy people bless you.

  They talk about the glories of your rule,
  they exclaim over your splendor,

  12 Letting the world know of your power for good,
  the lavish splendor of your kingdom.

  13 Your kingdom is a kingdom eternal;
  you never get voted out of office.

  God always does what he says,
  and is gracious in everything he does.

  14 God gives a hand to those down on their luck,
  gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.

  15 All eyes are on you, expectant;
  you give them their meals on time.

  16 Generous to a fault,
  you lavish your favor on all creatures.

  17 Everything God does is right—
  the trademark on all his works is love.

  18 God’s there, listening for all who pray,
  for all who pray and mean it.

  19 He does what’s best for those who fear him—
  hears them call out, and saves them.

  20 God sticks by all who love him,
  but it’s all over for those who don’t.

  21 My mouth is filled with God’s praise.
  Let everything living bless him,
  bless his holy name from now to eternity!

  Psalm 145

  I hope it was good encouragement for you as well, especially the second part.

  ¿ What Do I Do When I Am Given Power ? Christianity, Life | (0)

  One Of The Today’s Thoughts

  

  Continuing 1st book of Samuel, I read about how David spares again Saul’s life.

  Here are the key texts:

  1. (9) But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless? (10) As surely as the Lord lives,” he said, “the Lord himself will strike him; either his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. (11) But the Lord forbid that I should lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.” 1st Samuel 26:9-11
  2. (23) The Lord rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. The Lord delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed. (24) As surely as I valued your life today, so may the Lord value my life and deliver me from all trouble.” 1st Samuel 26:23-24

  I see those occasions that God gives to Daniel, when Saul’s life is in David’s hands, as a test. God already anointed David, and David knew that. So, that is why I really like how David continues to behave. It is said that give power to a man to see how he really is. This is what God did with David. At church, work or in another places we are given the opportunity to do something, to take decisions. When we are in that posture, our flesh is ready to show it’s real face. Are we strong enough to say “NO”? Am I going to do what God taught me, or listen to the flesh?
