Title: Psalm 147.

Scriptures: Psalm 146:1 - 20

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

This chapter speaks nothing but God's true nature to us.  He is our rebuilder, healer and not just physical but even the heartbroken.  He bandages our wounds and He is just, giving the wicked what they deserve.  But I want to focus on the author's words about God's limitless strength...yes, His strength has no limits!  So when we are weak or tired or afraid, we can turn to His limitless strength!  He will provide for He cares for us.  He gives His undivided attention to those who fear Him.  He is the only One we can truly depend on whatever our situation may be.  It is His nature to bless us and keep peace around.  It is His nature to put the best bread on our table and He never fails on His promises.  It is nature!  Hallelujah!  To abandon us, or neglect us, will be a true opposite of His nature.  He will be contradicting Himself in doing so...and so I know that He will always take care of us and help us in whatever trouble we are in.  But note that He is also just!  It is His Nature too.  So we ought to fear Him because His attention is upon those who fear Him and His wrath to those who are wicked!  So in the end, we choose which nature of God we want in our lives... to fear Him then reject His undivided attention, or to disregard Him by becoming wicked, then suffer His wrath...your choice!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a great reminder that Your true nature is to love and protect and provide and heal us but at the same time You are just and righteous and Holy.  All we need to do is to make a choice, to choose You or against You.  Lord I want to choose You as my ally, as my Lord, my King, My Father, and Savior.  I want to choose You Lord.  Help me to live this choice in my life each day.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
