The Meek Shall Praise Him

 PSALM 22:22-30 KJV

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

Did our Lord Jesus not tell us in his sermon on the mountain that those who are poor in spirit are blessed because the kingdom of heaven is theirs? Did he not say that the meek shall be blessed for they shall inherit the earth?  (Matt 5:3,5)

When things are looking down then rejoice and praise the Lord for God has a good plan for all who love Him. (Rom 8:28)  The Lord of heaven and earth is with you always with a plan for your good; with a plan for peace and not for evil. (Jer 29:11)

The persecution and crucifixion of Jesus was not the end of him. He was raised from the dead and lives and reigns at the right hand of God the Father. If by the hand of God the dead can be raised then trust that it is but a little thing for Him to be able  to raise up the one who has fallen down!

Look to the good and not for the bad. Keep your head up. Keep your chin up and praise the Lord for all that he has done and continues to do!

God's Peace - Pr. J.
