Bless the Lord O my soul

11/12/2013

 
His name shall endure for ever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the LORD GOD, the GOD of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His glorious Name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 72:17-19)
What starts out as a prayer for David's son Solomon and his earthly reign as king ends up as wonderful praise of our eternal King, Jesus Christ.  David prayed that his son, whose name means my peace, would indeed reign in peace and prosperity as GOD had told him, and then he praises our King for His spiritual reign and His present and future reign as King of Kings.  He is to be praised for His peace, peace with GOD because our sIn is paid for; peace with fellow believers because we are one in Christ, peace with man for we have the Good News of Salvation for those that will hear and obey.

That does not mean we will never have trouble, nor that lost people will always accept us peaceably, for GOD has said we will indeed have trouble in this world.  But, we shall be blessed.  It also does not mean that we will prosper in this world's ways or wantonness, for we who are of Christ are no longer of this world.  But, we shall be blessed and in His blessings are life, love, and peace.  Both here, and forever.

When He returns for His own, all things shall be fulfilled, and He indeed will be blessed and praised and worshipped as He is worthy.  As Creator, He has created all things.  As Redeemer, He paid for our sIn on the Cross of Calvary, when we rebelled against Him.  As Lord, He rules over His own, and as King He reigns in the heart of the righteous until that day when He sets up His earthly Kingdom and reigns over all for a thousand years of peace and prosperity on this earth.

But, if you don't know Him (and since you are not promised tomorrow, and may not live until His Kingdom) and are under His judgment for your sIn, GOD calls you to repent.  Surrender to Him on His terms and be born again.  You don't have to wait for His future Kingdom to receive Him by Faith in His finished and perfect work on that cruel Roman cross.  Believe His Word, and let Him establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal.  Jesus loves you and wants to give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting.  You can have peace with GOD through His forgiveness and Salvation now and forever.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
