Thank YOU FATHER for this day as I worship and glorify YOU on this Resurrection Sunday. Let YOUR face shine upon us as we go forth as an army to do YOUR will. Let all the saints arise and not be silent in giving YOU praise!
May my tongue extol and magnify YOU, because YOU so richly deserve the praise we should give unto YOU. "May the words of my mouth be acceptable unto YOU."
Thank YOU LORD for answered prayers and the peace and comfort that follows as we learn to abide in YOU according to Scripture. Isaiah 26: 3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Praise the LORD for all on this forum and for the promises YOU give to us. May we all endeavor to trust, believe, and walk for "...in the joy of the LORD is my strength.."
In Psalm 30 we see a situation much like the story of Jonah chapter 2 where he was said to have descended to the lower parts of the earth and finally gave thanksgiving and was released in verse 9. I tend to hold with the minority position that he really died and went to Sheol taking a literal description of the passage. Here in Psalm 30; David clearly was near death either physically or in the state of constant pursuit by his enemies such as with Saul. Unlike Jonah; however there was dancing and praise that seemed to outlive the immediate time of this crisis.
(last 2 verses 11 and 12).
Verses 5 and 6 give us some clues as to David's attitude maintaining a proper perspective; he understood God's holiness (v 4) and the eternal perspective (v. 5). Verse 11 shows how David sought God with sackcloth; and recognized the strength and importance of God's favor (v. 7). This could have related to his experience after the sin with Bathsheeba and losing his son; or the time he foolishly took the census when Satan was allowed to tempt him.
These verses should lead us to seeking the Lord at all times; and not waiting until a life or death matter. If we are not of the faith; we need to seek Him while He can yet be found ( Isaiah 55:6). He may not give us time at our deathbed if it happens in an instant to repent if we are a nonbeliever; and as a believer we forfeit our rewards in heaven if we are not putting Him first and dying to self daily. We should also study Job carefully and not make the error he did not being aware of Satan's schemes; but not blaming the enemy of our souls for all our problems as sin is the means of entry for him to work. Praising God in all circumstances is in order; and in the flesh many times we don't feel like it. We need to be emptied of ourselves and consider His attributes as all other things in life are temporal and fleeting as verse 5 shows.
Now O LORD God let thy promise unto David my father be established for thou hast made me king over a peaple like the dust of the earth in multitude Amen
God is always with us in good times & in bad .He knows everything. He celebrates our good times & provides comfort & solace in bad times.One can see He loves us !

Thank you that i can read the Bible on line and the king James is my favorite version. It has been of great blessing to me . Remember me in your prayers.
Philippians 4:6,7: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
That great Scripture being penned by the apostle holed up & bound in chains in prison, serves as a good reminder to us to "cast all of our care upon the Lord". It is certain that the events of the past days(s) cannot be changed and those of the future cannot be known, but voluntarily handing over the things outside our knowledge & control to a merciful, loving God Who does know & can handle them perfectly, is the best thing we can ever do. It is one thing to carefully & prayerfully consider the difficulties we're in, seeking wisdom from the Lord as to how to proceed, but when we allow that matter to constantly oppress the mind, taking away our joy, our hope & even our sleep, then this undermines the Grace of God for the believer & also to the deterioration of the mind & body.
It has always been the work of God's Spirit to bring a restless, suffering soul to a point of restful peace in Christ. Worry, agitation in spirit & irrational decisions come from one who has refused the Spirit's help, preferring to use one's own wisdom. This can never bring the Peace of God in one's life. Isaiah 30:15 well says, "For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not." Loosely translated for today: 'salvation from our struggles can only be found in coming first to the Lord & leaving it all with Him; our spiritual strength comes only by tenaciously holding onto a quiet confidence in God's great Wisdom & Power, that which He requires of us'.
Thank you for sharing your testimony of God's special ministry to your life during the times you felt you were imprisoned in but now rejoicing in His freedom.
I use to think this scripture " Weeping May Endure For A Night, But Joy Cometh In The Morning", only meant that one may cry at night and rejoice in the morning.
Now from experience, I may feel stressed, depressed, overwhelmed from all the things that happened throughout the day, but the next morning I am given a new surge of hope, energy and renewed strength. Praise be to God!!!
"Our God is an Awesome God"! When JESUS died on the Cross, He spoke a three words sentence, "It is Finished.". When we come to JESUS, we can be sure that ALL our needs have been met; The need of a Savior and Deliverer, The need. of a Comforter, Guide, Counsellor, Healer, and yes, even a provider... It's all paid for. When you have a need, reread gas 11 and 12, then lift your. hands and begin to worship the LORD for the work. has been done. Hallelujah - IT IS FINISHED! GIVE GOD THE PRAISE.
God is always there for us regardless of how we feel, or the circumstances that may come up in our lives. He is always there to forgive us when we fail He cannot fail , to comfort us when we mourn, and to keep us even when our feelings may delude us into thinking that he is not there. God is real, and he is always good to us. Thank you Lord, you are a great Father, and I am loved by you.
I will praise and magnify thee because thy have lifted me above my enemies my foes, and my illnesses. They cannot triump over me. I called on the Lord and He heard my cry and healed me.Lord you have not allowed death to take over me. I praise and thank you as I remember your Holy name. His anger or his wrath don't last long. He forgives me and Joy comes in the morning.I will praise my God forever
The message is full of encouragement. The writer has lived enough to understand severe hardship and to witness God’s healing which obliterates all the pain.
Mild Bill,saved by grace on Psalms 30 - 6 years ago
I am lifted from the grave of the dead in trespasses and sins,above my foes,to in turn extol God.I cried,God healed.From the grave to alive,and never to the pit of forever lost.God's anger is a moment,because his favor to us is life forever.Prosperity is grace,God's Riches At Christ's Expense.To be never moved is having the record of God.This is the record,that God hath given to us eternal life.
Hi Bill; I love what you wrote; "There are no partially saved people!" Yet it is equally true that as long as we are in the world awaiting our Master's return; that we are responsible for the things He's left us in charge of, and that our diligence and wise dealing with His things, will be what He looks for, in our faithfulness as His House Managers. So in that sense our salvation is not yet done.
Believers in need of mercy,cry,weep and mourn.Who owns forever?God and those to whom he has given everlasting life through the work of Jesus,we are lifted from the grave unto everlasting,the healed unto everlasting,the favored ones forever.There are no partially saved people.Therein is understanding that produces praise unto the glory of God.Love in return for the greater love shown us on Calvary.
I will exalt the name of The Lord.. He's doing something new in me so he continues get the Gliry. Praise him for he is God that can about change...Weeping shall endure in our lives but when his joy settles in us/his joy comes to live and abide in us in his timing. Hallelujah and praise God in his Holiness..Thank you God for your light that shines and your words that never returns void!! I love U
It encourages me as a Christian to know that no matter what I go through in life whether it's death in the family or having trouble at work that I must keep the faith and never give up. Keep pressing on. It lets me know that trouble will not last always.
Praise His holy name for HE alone is worthy to be praised. What security engage in God and what comfort can be found in these verses. Almighty God of Israel we I adore you
There is only one true God. When all else fails God will never ever leave you. Believe and trust in God, who sacrificed His only Son to give us the free gift of Life everlasting.
The God of Israel it's so a living God, that he speaks so clear on his bible. I'm so thankful and blessed. Praise be to God now and for ever more. Amen
May my tongue extol and magnify YOU, because YOU so richly deserve the praise we should give unto YOU. "May the words of my mouth be acceptable unto YOU."
Thank YOU LORD for answered prayers and the peace and comfort that follows as we learn to abide in YOU according to Scripture. Isaiah 26: 3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
