Psalm 111:1-2 Praise the Lord!
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
These great and mighty works are only manifested when you begin to praise and honor His Word. It opens up an avenue for God to work on your life like He wants to. Without it you will live so far away from God’s best. You have to open your Bible and read of the great things God has done. They are greater than the works of man. The Bible calls them “terrible.”
Psalm 111:3-4 His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
Nobody has to talk God into being good. He is full of constant, eager yearnings to dispose favors on people. He yearns to do a favor for you!
Psalm 111: 5 He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
If you lack provision, up your worship. Worship always defeats poverty. It will drive it out of you and your life. When you begin to worship God, you’ll take on His characteristics and you’ll begin to see things through His eyes. God does not want you to struggle in your finances. God has already provided for the need. Nothing catches Him off guard.
Leviticus 26:1-2. ‘You shall not make idols for yourselves;
neither a carved image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves;
nor shall you set up an engraved stone in your land, to bow down to it;
for I am the Lord your God.
2 You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary:
I am the Lord.
God will not take second place. He is a jealous God! Not your spouse, family, or any object should take that place in your life. He takes it very seriously! He wants a relationship with you! He has real feelings and real thoughts. We are made in His image. When God isn’t in His proper place you will stray further and further from His best for your life!
Leviticus 26:3-4 ‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,
4 then I will give you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
If you will keep my statues and commandments, THEN you reap the benefits listed in verse 4. What are his statutes and commandments? Verse 1-2 explains it! Things will work in your life and produce like they should if you give God his proper place in your life. God is a good God. He watches over His own!
Leviticus 26:5b-7 you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid;
I will rid the land of evil beasts,
and the sword will not go through your land.
7 You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.
It doesn’t matter if you’re outnumbered! If you’ve got God on your side, you’ll always be victorious. This is the covenant He made with His people! God has already made the covenant, We have to enter into covenant with Him too and make Him our God. He’s waiting on us. He is big enough to take care of every single one of us! Every bit of this hinges on an “IF.” It’s up to us! Make the decision today to put Him first in your life. Be faithful to YOUR God!
