Psa 102:2 Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call! Psa 102:3 For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

Read all of Psalm 102

The blood of Jesus on the cross brings:

• Protection. Just as the blood on the door posts brought protection to the Israelites the bllod and resurrection on Jesus provides protection for everyone who believes.
• Deliverance and authority. The blood delivers us from sin. Jesus has authority over Satan.
• Forgiveness, The blood provides forgiveness of our sins.
• Peace of mind. We can be assured of our salvation because of what Jesus did on the cross and His resurrection.

Praise God today for His great gift!

Jeremiah 17:14: "Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise."

Mark 5:34: "He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.'"

God heals everyday. He seems to pick some and leave others, but we must remember that God is perfect and so is His will. He decides within His plan whom to heal.
God loves all His creation! He chooses not to heal some. He chooses to delay healing to others. And, He does instant healing.
Do not be discouraged, but pray earnestly and ask that Gods will be done.
Most of all praise God at all times. We cannot see His great plan for us!

Psa 148:1  Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights!
Psa 148:2  Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts!
Psa 148:3  Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars!

God’s wonderful earth.
The Divine creation of our Lord is beyond description. From the mountains to the plants to the seas and animals they show His power and love. The beauty around us should remind us of God’s beauty and love each day!
Many non-christian religions worshiped the natural world around us. Of course, they should have been worshipping the creator and not the world as seen through their eyes.
Believers are seen by God as stewards of His creation, and we should manage it as good as humanly possible.

Praise God for giving us such a great world to live in.

Psa 150:1 Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens!

Psa 150:2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Psa 150:3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!

Psa 150:4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!

Psa 150:5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

Psa 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!

Isa 8:11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: Isa 8:12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. Isa 8:13 But the LORD of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. (italics added) ESV

Many people believe everything posted on the internet or what they read in print. Even some Christian literature does not match what the Bible teaches. The Bible says to interpret using the power of the Holy Spirit. Some verses seem to say something, but when taken in context with a whole chapter they have a totally different meaning! Remember even Satan twisted scripture when he was tempting Jesus.

1 John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." ESV

Be careful and ask the Holy Spirit for insight when reading the Bible!

Psa 106:47  Deliver us, O LORD, our God! Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. Psa 106:48  The LORD God of Israel deserves praise, in the future and forevermore. Let all the people say, “We agree! Praise the LORD!”

Psa 103:1  By David. Praise the LORD, O my soul! With all that is within me, praise his holy name! Psa 103:2  Praise the LORD, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds! Psa 103:3  He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, Psa 103:4  who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion, Psa 103:5  who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. Psa 103:6  The LORD does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed. NET

Mat 5:38  "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' Mat 5:39  But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. Mat 5:40  And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. Mat 5:41  If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Mat 5:42  Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” (ESV)

These verses of the Bible are to teach a new way of living. They focus on Jesus teaching to transform your heart and have love for all. This not a command against self-defense or escape from abuse. This is a command not to seek personal revenge. Unfortunately, even government leaders are seeking revenge on perceived enemies. A true christian would not seek retribution against another person.
How soon will it be before your neighbor turns you in for a reward because you said something that offended. Jesus teaching shows true christians that they must forgive and move on with their lives. Praise God!
