"You are awesome, O God, in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to His people."   Psalm 68:35
 
He is an awesome God and He still gives power and strength to His people for "I, the LORD do not change..." (Mal. 3:6).
 
Recently, during my quiet time, I was prompted to look back upon scripture I had just underlined while I read through passages, as they spoke to me.  I'd like to share the following passages with you.  Allow the Lord speak to your heart, ask Him what it is He desires to say to you.  May you hear His voice clearly.
 
"No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man.  But it is God who judges: He brings one down, He exalts another.  The LORD reigns, He is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength.  Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity.  Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea the LORD on high is mighty.  Your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns Your house for endless days, O LORD.
 
The LORD knows the thoughts of man; He knows that they are futile.  When I said, "My foot is slipping," Your love, O LORD, supported me.  When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought joy to my soul.  But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the Rock in whom I take refuge.  For You, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.  Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for He guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.  Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.  Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise His holy name.  Sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done marvelous things; The LORD has made His salvation known and revealed His righteousness to the nations.  All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
 
Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His footstool; He is holy.  Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.  Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.  Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.  Know that the LORD is God.  It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.  For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations."  Amen.  (Psalm 75: 6-7; 93: 1a,2,4-5; 94: 11,18-19,22; 97: 9-12; 98: 1a,2-3; 99:5,9; 100:1-5)
 
Have a most joyous day in our Lord!
April
