Psalm
92
1 It
is good to give thanks to the LORD,
to
sing praises to the Most High.
2 It
is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
your
faithfulness in the evening,
3 accompanied
by the ten-stringed harp
and
the melody of the lyre.
4 You thrill me, LORD, with all you have done for me!
I
sing for joy because of what you have done.
5 O
LORD, what great works you do!
And
how deep are your thoughts.
6 Only
a simpleton would not know,
and
only a fool would not understand this:
7 Though
the wicked sprout like weeds
and
evildoers flourish,
they
will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, O LORD, will be exalted forever.
9 Your
enemies, LORD, will surely perish;
all
evildoers will be scattered.
10 But
you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You
have anointed me with the finest oil.
11 My
eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my
ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
12 But
the godly will flourish like palm trees
and
grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
13 For
they are transplanted to the LORD's own house.
They
flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even
in old age they will still produce fruit;
they
will remain vital and green.
15 They
will declare, "The LORD is just!
He
is my rock!
There
is no evil in him!"
I
don't know what I would have this week if I hadn't had the Bible.
I
think I would have completely despaired.
In
reading the Bible every day w/o fail, I've come to depend on the Lord
to speak whatever it is He wants to say to me.
I'm
not trying to all holy & self-righteous here.
I'm
talking reality.
I
just don't know how I would have made it this week w/o having
listened out for some sort of something from Him through His Word.
Back
in November, 2015, I felt like God gave me some passages to hold on
to during 2016.
If
I hadn't had some of those this week, I really do think I would have
lost my mine.
If
someone was to ask me if I could give anyone a single piece of
advice, what would I say?
Read
the Bible every day, without fail.
I
wouldn't steer ya wrong on this...
that
is the single most important component to my life...
the
Bible...
God
speaks to us through it.
Read
it.
Listen
out for what God will say to you through it.
He's
never failed me yet.
