Am I faithful to you?

(S)Psa 145:1 A Song of Praise. Of David. I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever.
Psa 145:2 Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.
Psa 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
Psa 145:4 One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.
Psa 145:5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
Psa 145:6 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness.
Psa 145:7 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
Psa 145:8 The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Psa 145:9 The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.
Psa 145:10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you!
Psa 145:11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power,
Psa 145:12 to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

Psa 145:16 You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Psa 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.
Psa 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Psa 145:19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
Psa 145:20 The LORD preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
Psa 145:21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

(O)This chapter tells me of my security in the Lord. I do not see any reason why I should not praise God everyday because of His wonderful deeds (vs 1-14) . In v15, those who look, watch and expect from Him will never be hungry. In v20, I will be guarded, I will be attended and protected by the Lord. If God is for me who can be against me?

(A)My Lord is faithful and who can be more faithful than God. Am I faithful to Him? He gives me grace and mercy but am I extending it to others? Lord I praise you and thank you but am I obedient to you?

(P) Oh graciously Father, search me now and see inside my heart. Forgive me for my unfaithfulness. Lead me to righteousness and help me to become more and more like Christ everyday. Give me the grace to be faithful and obedient to you that I may always medidate into your words and apply it in my life. Lord I will put all my trust in you because there is no help in other than you alone. I will not find security and protection other than you alone my Lord and my Father in heaven. Thank you that you chose me to be your child, thank you that I have done nothing but because of my faith in Jesus, I was made righteous to you. Thank you that even if I am a sinner, I was made holy into your sight because I have Jesus in my heart. Oh Lord help me that I may always walk in your ways and help me live a life that would please you in Jesus name I pray, AMEN!!

There will be consequence


Jer 43:1 I finished telling the people everything that the LORD their God had sent me to tell them.
Jer 43:2 Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah and Johanan son of Kareah and all the other arrogant men said to me, "You are lying. The LORD our God did not send you to tell us not to go and live in Egypt.
Jer 43:3 Baruch son of Neriah has stirred you up against us, so that the Babylonians will gain power over us and can either kill us or take us away to Babylonia."
Jer 43:4 So neither Johanan nor any of the army officers nor any of the people would obey the LORD's command to remain in the land of Judah.
Jer 43:5 Then Johanan and all the army officers took everybody left in Judah away to Egypt, together with all the people who had returned from the nations where they had been scattered:
Jer 43:6 the men, the women, the children, and the king's daughters. They took everyone whom Nebuzaradan the commanding officer had left under the care of Gedaliah, including Baruch and me.
Jer 43:7 They disobeyed the LORD's command and went into Egypt as far as the city of Tahpanhes.
Jer 43:8 There the LORD said to me,
Jer 43:9 "Get some large stones and bury them in the mortar of the pavement in front of the entrance to the government building here in the city, and let some of the Israelites see you do it.
Jer 43:10 Then tell them that I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, am going to bring my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia to this place, and he will put his throne over these stones that you buried, and will spread the royal tent over them.
Jer 43:11 Nebuchadnezzar will come and defeat Egypt. Those people who are doomed to die of disease will die of disease, those doomed to be taken away as prisoners will be taken away as prisoners, and those doomed to be killed in war will be killed in war.
Jer 43:12 I will set fire to the temples of Egypt's gods, and the king of Babylonia will either burn their gods or carry them off. As shepherds pick their clothes clean of lice, so the king of Babylonia will pick the land of Egypt clean and then leave victorious.
Jer 43:13 He will destroy the sacred stone monuments at Heliopolis in Egypt and will burn down the temples of the Egyptian gods."

Father in Heaven, I praised you this morning. You are a merciful God and and just. You love me even I am a sinner. Thank you for giving me eternal life and choosing me as your adopted child. Thank you for being a loving and gracious father to me. Help me that I may always obey your commandments and that I may not go astray from your way. Help me Father that I may always focus on your Son Jesus and help me always find your way not my own way. Filled me with your Spirit and help me to live a holy life. Deliver me from evil this day that I may glorify your name. Oh Father you have reminded me tha there is always a consequence if I disobey you. If I do things that is not pleasing to you. If I do it my own way, there will be problem. Lord help me to discern your will that I may follow your ways and live my life to everlasting way, this I pray in Jesus name, AMEN!
