Simple Thoughts On Promises- 26

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD (Psalm 27:5,6)

More of an affirmation of the psalmist's faith, yet a promise for those who trust in the protection and deliverance that the Lord gives to those who have put their faith in him. Safety, refuge, exaltation is from the Lord. Worship with praises and thanksgiving should be the right response.

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. (Psalm 63:5)

Have you been feeding your soul as much as you have been feeding your body?

Time for a new decision??

but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other.

anything about his future. NIV

God knows what I need better than I myself know.
