Day 78
Psalm 146:1–6 (AMP) PRAISE THE
Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the Lord, O my soul! While I live will I praise the
Lord; I will sing praises to my God while I have any being. Put not your trust
in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. When his breath leaves
him, he returns to his earth; in that very day his [previous] thoughts, plans, and
purposes perish. [I Cor. 2:6.] Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is he who
has the God of [special revelation to] Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the
Lord his God, [Gen. 32:30.] Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is
in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever
The princes, in our day the
politicians, insult and vilify their opponents, while they promote bizarre
unfulfillable promises that lead down the wide road to destruction. Using
enticing words, they promote exciting visions to mindless people of a perfect
society without a bothersome moral code from God, whom they say does not exist.
Unlike the Lord Jesus, they are liars, unstable, unreliable, unfaithful in all
their ways.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, is
the heart cry of this psalmist who has found, amid the princes of man, the Lord
to be faithful and trust worthy. And we like the psalmist, will find Jesus
Christ to be faithful, and trust worthy as we continue along this narrow path
of obedience set before us.
Ending Thoughts
Strong deception is pouring out on
every nation and only those that keep their focused-on Jesus will be ready to
meet Him when He comes. His coming is soon, which begs the questions; Do you
know Him? Are you ready?
