Let's Live A Life Of Praise Unto The Lord
Psa 63:3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Quote
Song 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
My Thoughts and Comments
Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Verse - KJV
Psa
23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.Why
is goodness and mercy following behind us and not in front of us? Does
this say they follow us some days or all days? Do we really believe
this and live accordingly?
The enemy of our soul, through our fleshly thoughts, will tell us we can not make it. Do we recognize the enemy when he comes to us? Sometimes it is one who is close to us. At one point Jesus said to Peter "Get thee behind me satan". Why? Because Peter was saying something contrary to what His Father had told Him! The Word of God is truth! A lie is of the devil.
What does the scripture say? When the Lord is our Shepherd we have the Lord going before us leading the way, the angel of the Lord is around us, we have a banner over us saying the Lord loves us and we have goodness and mercy following behind us! Do you see it? Before the enemy can get to us he must get pass the Shepherd, get through the angel, and pass the banner of love. If we fall - before the devil can get to us goodness and mercy is there to pick us up. How could it be any better than that? Praise the Lord forever!
2 Ki 6:16-17 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Elisha's servant could see who was against them but not who was for them!
Beloved, fear will cause us to be blind to who is for us. Faith will open our eyes to see the Shepherd before us, to the angel who is around us, to the banner of love over us and to goodness and mercy behind us!
Let us not doubt, if God be for us who can be against us. Every storm is a test of our faith. All things are possible to them who believe God. (Mark 9:23) Meditate on it!

Prayer
Lord
God, thank You for placing us in a place of protection. Help us to stop
doubting You and walk in faith believing You are with us always. You
are an ever present help in time of need. We can see who is against us - open our spiritual eyes to see who is on our side. We
ask in faith believing we receive so we give thanks in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
