The Heavens Proclaim His Righteousness
1 The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. Psalm 50:1-6 (KJV)
The Morning Exhortation
Thinking of quitting? It happens to us all from time to time. Take a deep breath. Inhale slowly, and exhale even slower. Be still and remember your God (Psalm 46:10). Life is full of a multitude of things, events, and people that frustrate and vex us (Ecclesiastes 1:14-15; 1 Corinthians 13:10-13) , but what God permits for us is ordained as part of our curriculum designed to increase our godliness and patience (Psalm 62:11; Matthew 28:18; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; 1 Peter 5:6-9; Galatians 6:9; Matthew 28:19-20). Now take this command: “Forward…March!” Rather than praying for relief, pray for the strength to endure (James 1:2-4; Nehemiah 8:10; Proverbs 24:10). God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted or afflicted with more than you can handle (1 Corinthians 10:13-14). Praise Him for His wonderful goodness and endure (Psalm 92:1-2; Hebrews 10:36; 1 Peter 5:10-11).
Question
If God be for us, who or what can stand against us?
Answer
Absolutely nothing, no one, no way (Romans 8:31-39; John 6:27-29; Ephesians 3:14-21)
