I Will Sing Praises!!!

Psalm 59:17

To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, My God of mercy.

Psalm 27:1-3, 6
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me,my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me,in this I will be confident. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

You May Be Down...But You Are Not Out

Psalm 37:23-24

Power Points

Although our steps are ordered, those steps may sometimes lead us into undesirable, uncomfortable situations.

For example the "ordered" steps for three Hebrew boys led them into a fiery furnace. (Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Therefore, because the king’s command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Daniel 3:21-23)

The steps of these men were ordered. According to verse 23 they "fell down" into a burning furnace. They were down...but not out.

Psalm 37 tells us that though we fall we are not utterly (totally; completely) cast down.

Psalm 37 goes on to encourage us by letting us know the God will uphold (support or defend; keep up or from sinking; lift upward or raise) us.

God is so awesome that when He delivered the Hebrew boys from the burning furnace, they did not even look like what they had been through nor smell like smoke (And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Daniel 3:27)

The steps that God has ordered you may lead you into uncomfortable place, just know that God is there to support, defend, and lift you up.

God will never leave you nor forsake you.

You may be down right now...oh but you are not out!

When you come out, you won't even smell like smoke!

God is AWESOME...that's All I Know. -Tevin C. Jordan
