|2007.09.17| PSALM 33

Tonight I was praying and the Lord had given me an awesome chapter from scripture, Psalm 33. We know that it is always important to hear the voice of God. When it comes to something that doesn't make sense, but we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that it is God speaking, God brings us to a place to where we fully trust and rely on Him. Let's look at the Psalm in the Message version...


[1-3]
Good people, cheer God! Right-living people sound best when praising.
Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs!
Play his praise on a grand piano!
Invent your own new song to him;
give him a trumpet fanfare.

[4-5]
For God's Word is solid to the core;
everything he makes is sound inside and out.
He loves it when everything fits,
when his world is in plumb-line true.
Earth is drenched
in God's affectionate satisfaction.

[6-7]
The skies were made by God's command;
he breathed the word and the stars popped out.
He scooped Sea into his jug,
put Ocean in his keg.

[8-9]
Earth-creatures, bow before God;
world-dwellersdown on your knees!
Here's why: he spoke and there it was,
in place the moment he said so.

[10-12]
God takes the wind out of Babel pretense,
he shoots down the world's power-schemes.
God's plan for the world stands up,
all his designs are made to last.
Blessed is the country with God for God;
blessed are the people he's put in his will.

[13-15]
From high in the skies God looks around,
he sees all Adam's brood.
From where he sits
he overlooks all us earth-dwellers.
He has shaped each person in turn;
now he watches everything we do.

[16-17]
No king succeeds with a big army alone,
no warrior wins by brute strength.
Horsepower is not the answer;
no one gets by on muscle alone.

[18-19]
Watch this: God's eye is on those who respect him,
the ones who are looking for his love.
He's ready to come to their rescue in bad times;
in lean times he keeps body and soul together.

[20-22]
We're depending on God;
he's everything we need.
What's more, our hearts brim with joy
since we've taken for our own his holy name.
Love us, God, with all you've got-
that's what we're depending on.

I really enjoyed this chapter because it talks about what happens when you totally rely on God. I love when it poses the question of how you overcome things...and then end result as the psalmist says: "We're depending on God; He is everything we need!"
-Be blessed.

|2008.11.20| I NEED YOU

Last night happened to be a late night. I don't understand it but I can tend to stay up late. When I think about it, there is always something that catches my attention. Last night there was this site that I came across called drummerforchrist.com. It was so interesting to me to see the drummers from Malaysia that kicked butt!...Read it!
