PSALMS 67 [To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song.] Just Praise God! It really does not matter what it is that you are going through, if you know that you are saved, then you are safe and secure for all eternity! Do you get that? People who doubt it, are the ones who give up when the going gets tough; they do not plan on giving up, no one does, but if your overall concern is to be blessed in this world by worldly things or comfort, then you are concerned over the wrong blessings. Do I feel blessed? Most days, yes. But truth be told, there are some days when I feel totally and ashamedly cursed. Yesterday started out as one of those days; but it ended with me knowing how blessed I really am. There is nothing that this world has to offer us, beyond what we have been given in Christ; consequently, if something gets taken away, then it was something that we did not need, because Christ is all we need! If your health is being taken, even to the point of death, you have a far greater life waiting on the other side of this life; so let it be known! There is nothing more convincing to those that doubt, then to see someone who is confident in the truth have the joy and peace of their assurance. It's almost ironic, but we pray fervently for God to make something happen, and then when He does, we don't see His answer through the circumstance or the opportunity that He has given us to participate in giving Him the glory. Don't look for it to make sense, because if it is God doing something, then it most likely won't make sense; how else would we trust Him, or even need to, if we knew everything that He was doing, and how He was going to get it done. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the title above this Psalm is the title above. It's even more ironic seeing how God uses the other nations of this world to demonstrate His love and dedication to His people, because everyone get's to participate in the process, even those that are lost...
"Then the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 'May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you His favor and give you His peace.' "Whenever Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel in my name, I myself will bless them." (Numbers 6:22-27) NLT
