V:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that HOPE in the LORD. (...each day is another 'war to fight' and each hour of the day we see and hear of those who have no hope or has lost hope, but, by the power of GOD through Jesus / MY SAVIOR I will fight on because the battle is won and the victory is our; The marriage Supper Of The LAMB is waiting. WOW! WOW! WOW!)
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. The Lord carries us through our trials and gives us the Victory in the presence of our enemies, all we got to do is trust in His word and pray unto Him for our needs. Amen
Psalm 31:15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. He has been my guide all my life and my testimonies are countless. Thank you Lord!!!

God is the refuge for those who trust him,in this world which is passing away.Believers are set in the largest,most secure room/pavilion in all creation,the door is Jesus.To this world we are a broken vessel,useless.Believers have hope/an expectation of God and our times are in his hands.Believers are proud of God before the sons of men,because we see him and his love.Despite our troubles he hears
I remember, as a child, sitting in my bedroom and crying because I was constantly being bullied by classmates, teaching staff, and family alike because I had a skin condition that I could not help having. I was praying to God with my hand stretched out to Him. I know He heard me, and it gives comfort : . Thank you God, I love you
The "proud doer" here is saying/expressing,"I am thus because of thee", not, "I am thus because of me". The pride, is a delight in the Lord and his presence(v.20) in the life of a believer. Such as, a person might say, "I am proud to know him",or,"I am proud of my God". There is no sin in this form of the word and it is not the "pride of man'.
Anand - " ..... plentifully rewrd the proud doer." - the PROUD doer, pride is a sin, pride in what YOU have done, because that is not giving glory to God. The 'reward' for pride is judgment from God.
What is the meaning of the last verse? - "plentifully rewardeth the proud doer" O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Vs. 14 - But I trust in you, O Jehovah. I declare: You are my God. - NWT Jehovah, the name of the sovereign of the universe. Some translations omit the Divine name. Yet, as we can see, when that name is used, it clearly identifies the God of the Bible and gives much more meaning to the scriptures.
Vs. 6 NWT -I hate those who are devoted to worthless, vain idols, But as for me, I trust in Jehovah. Idol worship has crept into Christianity. Remember, the worship of idols is something God hates. Even the cross is an idol. If you pray, bow down to, or revere it, it is an idol. All Praise goes directly to God.
Nobody can separate us from the Love of God
If God is for us who can be against us? Thank you Lord Jehovah Rapha and Shalom my Healer and my Peace thank you Jesus for your protection, Love and mercy. I will praise you forever Hosanna in the Highest. Amen
David gained courage by placing his faith and hope in God. He knew that God is the only source of salvation and that God always fulfills His promises so David was able to be courageous and draw strength from that.
This is a powerful words of God. Jesus is my Rock, my strength and my salvation. No matter what we are facing I will never go of my hands with the Lord for IT IS HE WHO HOLDS MY TODAY AND TOMORROW IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS. All battles belongs to God and victory is already ours what a wonderful God we serve. Lets give thanks to the blood of Jesus and praise him for he is worthy
i read this psalm to gain confidence that i'll be well and continue to provide for my family and your comments give me confidence as i read about others who through their trials and tribulations continue their belief in God and Jesus our savior and healer.
Psalm 31:19-20 inspired me to write the following poem:
The Goodness of God
The Goodness of God is like a ship in a storm:
No matter how loud the clap of thunder
Or turbulent the waves may toss,
I rock in the cradle of God's secret Presence,
Secure, unafraid, adoring the One,
Who can calm the storm,
Or still my heart, as we sail right on..
Some say our SAVIOUR will pour His wrath upon both the righteous and unrighteous which is a most-unrighteous belief in itself. Do not strive with these but rejoice in the truth of the Father's Word and preach the truth as you receive it from Him. We must love our enemies. In Christ, God bless you. Psalms 31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. Psalms 119:163 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Psalms 145:20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
It takes courage or confidence in God to experience the strong arms of God in the midst of our challenges. We must arrive at a point in our lives where we truly trust God and his word.This trust in his word is out source of confidence in him and he has never failed anyone I know. Remember ,the Lord will fight for you but you need to hold your peace. Supernatural manifestation occurs at this instance of faith and faith is a by-product of genuine trust and confidence in the integrity of God and his word. Father, help us to know you more so we can trust you more.
I believe verse 24 is encouraging us to not despare. God is always with us and He will see us through our darkest moments. As long as our hope is in Him, we have nothing to worry about.
V:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that HOPE in the LORD. (...each day is another 'war to fight' and each hour of the day we see and hear of those who have no hope or has lost hope, but, by the power of GOD through Jesus / MY SAVIOR I will fight on because the battle is won and the victory is our; The marriage Supper Of The LAMB is waiting. WOW! WOW! WOW!)
