Turn around to check- Praise the Lord

31 December 2011 

Praise the Lord your God who has been with you throughout the year 2011- partaking in all our activities- in joy, sorrow, in conflicts , in tears and fears, in honor and  dishonor, in sickness ,in losses, sad times, depression etc (if you check the list is never ending for each one of us)

In all HE has been the nerve centre of our life. If we have been left on our own way….?...  (I really miss the words to describe the consequences)

• "Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, 

      Because His compassions fail not'.Lamentations 3:22

 An attempt has been made to review the various ways in which God is assisting us. I am sure it varies between individuals and cannot be contained in this blog. 

Some of the example I like to post here .

• ·         Mighty God  as revealed in HIS works.

“Since ancient times no one has heard, 
   no ear has perceived, 
no eye has seen any God besides you, 
   who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” Isaiah 64:4

·                     Ultimate care and concern

“ I have upheld since your birth, 
   and have carried since you were born. 

 Even to your old age and gray hairs 
   I am he, I am he who will sustain you. 
I have made you and I will carry you; 
   I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”Isaiah 46:13-14

·                     Full protection

“For he will command his angels concerning you 
   to guard you in all your ways” Psalm 91:11

·                     Sustained support

“…upheld by Me from birth, 
      Who have been carried from the womb: 
      Even to your old age, I am He, 
      And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
      I have made, and I will bear; 
      Even I will carry, and will deliver you. Isaiah 46:3-4

·                     Constant watch

“the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.  ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil…… the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today;  and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God,….. Deuteronomy 11:11-28

·                     Affirmation during enemy’ attack

“You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven” Deuteronomy28:6-7

·                     Confirmation of HIS presence

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

·                     Protection and peace in your borders

“For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
         He has blessed your children within you.
  He makes peace in your borders,
         And fills you with the finest wheat.Psalm 147:13-14

·                     Mighty hand in the days of your life

“No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.  Be strong and courageous…Joshua 1:5

·                     Perfect guide

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; 
   I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8

            “Bless the LORD, O my soul;
              And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
                 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
                   And forget not all His benefits: Psalm 103:1-2

 

Happy and a Blessed new year 2012

God be with you
