Trust The One True God

Psalm 138
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Praise the one true God before all gods. Get rid of those old gods and praise the one who is truly able and willing to show mercy. Those other gods will only bring you down. They cannot and will not help you. Sing praises to the One who can save you!

Life is full of troubles. Those troubles can often come at the hands of people you know well and may have even thought that they cared for you. Troubles may come through the false gods that you have put before the One true God. You may not know exactly what is troubling you; but, God knows everything that is going on in your life. Trust him! Give him  praise and thanks for he will deliver you from whatever assails you!

God's Peace - Pr. J.
