PSALM 103 ;8

Our Salvation is not dependent upon our goodness.......nor is our staying saved dependent upon our human ability to live the life. We are saved by grace through faith...... not of works, lest any man should boast! ( Eph. 2 :8-10 )

We are not saved and lost over and over. Many live in constant fear that some little mistake will send them to hell........after a lifetime of living for the Lord. They make no provision for their thinking for the "grace of God ," This constand state of frustration leads to spiritual disaster when one believes he has to be repeatedly "re-saved " because of little slips. Often this beliefs leads to an attitude of "whats the use?!I've blown it anyway! I might as well give up and go all the way." This thinking comes from a distorted knowledge of our position in Christ Jesus. The Psalmist wrote, " The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord....... though he may fall , he shall not be utterly cast down, for , for the Lord upholdth him with his Hands." ( Psalm 37;23-24 ) Our sins are under the blood of Jesus! The epistle to the Romans reads, " All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God "....but we are " justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; whom God set forth to be a proitiation through faith in His blood , to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the for bearance of God ".... declaring God's righteourness, that He might be JUST as well as the JUSTIFIER of them which believe in Jesus. " where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works ? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the Law." ....Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid..... we establish the Law."! ( Romans 3:23-31; 5-9 ) He paid the price for our mistakes and failures!! ( Gal. 2:20; 3:6-14 )

At one time I had begun to memorize Ps. 145. I want to get back to memorizing it. This study has encouraged me to continue the memorization--remembering why I had chosen this particular Psalm to put in my heart! Thank you!

Psalm 103 EXERCISE

Read verses 1-5 with ‘me, my and I’ instead of ‘you and your’.

v1 I say to myself, ‘*Praise the *LORD!
Everything that is in me, *praise his *holy name!’

v2 I say to myself, ‘*Praise the *LORD!
And never forget any of the good things that he has given me!’

v3 (I say to myself) He *forgives all my *sins.
He makes me well again when I am ill.

v4 He *redeems me from the *Pit.
His kind love and *mercy are special things that he gives to me.

v5 He gives me the good things that I want.
So, I become strong again as a young *eagle.

I will praise him everyday, all the time with love & trust, faith & honor, but more than that I will praise him in all my ways and heart.

Once again I came up with a children’s praise song using the words of Psalm 117 entitled: “Praise The LORD All You Nations”.

Praise the LORD all you nations, glory in Him all you peoples;

For great is His love towards us.

Praise the LORD all you nations, extol in Him all you peoples;

His faithfulness endures forever. (Repeat)


O Praise the Lord, let’s praise the Lord, O Praise ye the Lord!

O Praise the Lord, let’s praise the Lord, O Praise ye the Lord! (repeat)




(Repeat whole song and end). (It's written in 3/4 Waltz Time)

Psalm 117. Not only is this Psalm short but it gives me great assurance that Salvation is for all people, not just for Jews. God’s Love is for the whole world.
This makes me to Praise My God more and more because of His unlimited Love.

[slicwidow]

I have been singing a lot of praise choruses this week. It is always uplifting to sing praises to my heavenly Father.

Psalm 117
From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise:
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land by every tongue.
Eternal are thy mercies Lord;
Eternal truths attend thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

These psalms tell me that I am to praise and worship God. My lips are to speak praises. I am amazed at the compassion, love, kindness, understanding our God has. We serve an awesome and wonderful God. His love endures forever. Praise His holy name.

First I will like to ask for forgiveness for being late on this study in the name of Jesus. I woke up this morning and instead of praying for many things all I wanted to do was to think God for his Love and for loving us no matter what. I began to read Psalm 43, it touch me because two weeks ago I had a dream that I was on this mountain top and I met Jesus face to face. I was a beautiful and in a way the most unexplainable thing that I ever experience. As I was reading it in verse 3 it talk about the light and the truth that will guide me and the holy mountain as the place where He lives. I have never read and seen Psalms 43 like this before, but this was my experience after meeting Jesus on the mountain top he showed me different people and the life and also told me to tell them after seeing what they were doing to seek his face. God is so real that my heart still is weeping over the fact that so many is not trusting His Love for use on a daily journey. I Love you and Thank you for all that you do in Jesus name.

Exercise - While in my office this week I was able to pray with a gentleman who was having marriage problems. And then later in the week, while on a business trip to Boise the Lord led me to two people who I prayed personally with - Rodney, and then Meagan, and then the Lord brought me in contact with another lady, Kristin, who I lift up in prayer to the Lord.
