The Devotional – A look at Psalm 65

The Devotional – A look at Psalm 65

Comment: One of the many things that can be observed from reading and meditating on the Psalms is that mankind has always desired to dwell in the Courtyard of His Creator. We see this in Psalm 65 clearly as David praises God for His Good News and future Providence. “Even so; Come Lord Jesus” ought to be on the lips of all of God’s children. Yes, we have daily activities that are purposeful and productive, but we ought always to be ready for the “calling out” of the saints of God. Calling us home, not one by one, but by the RAPTURE of the church of Christ (Messiah) and the end of this dispensation. Let me also say, that if you are not praying and meditating on the Living Word of God, then you are not interested in the RAPTURE. I say to you… SHAME ON YOU! Life on the earth these days is not getting better! The cure: John 14:1-6.

Devotional: While praying and meditating with the LORD, have you ever said “I will praise the LORD”! Of course you have, but did you know that this is a VOW. According to the Hebrew word used by David in Psalm 65:1, saying such in prayer is making a “promised deed” to God. Okay you say and yes we do praise God, but what about as the day progresses. Even the unbelieving can and do praise the LORD but their own iniquities prevail against them, as do ours prevail against us at times. God has provided atonement for all sins as you know, trust and believe that Jesus the Christ died for the sins of the world, John 1:29.

Yet and notice this, Psalm 65:4-8. Blessed is the man or woman whom God has chosen and allowed to approach Him that he or she can dwell in His courts. Yes, we read this truth from SCRIPTURE, but does this truth find residence in our SOUL? Our soul ought to rejoice as it is being SATISFIED with the GOODNESS that prevails from God’s Throne in His Holy temple as we pray and mediate on Him through His Word.

When our promised deeds are truly focused on our Awesome God, we are completing the Righteous standards of God the Holy Spirit (In Christ). That is fulfilling our vows to God the Father and He readily answers us, after all, is not God our Father also the God of our salvation? Yes, He is God, The Eternal God and He is our CONFIDENCE, even the confidence of all the ends of the earth. He is God of the seas and the mountains, He is clothed with power and strength to sustain all LIFE. Even to the farthest parts of the world, all peoples are afraid of the power of God. Yet the mornings and the evenings and Creation shout PRAISE for the ever presence sustaining Power of God.

We will stop here for this morning, but there ought not be a moment in time on any day in the life of God’s children that we fail to “Praise God”. For He alone has designed “Life in Christ and sustained Creation to rejoice over the power of His Hand to lead, guide and direct our day to His Glory, see Romans 8:18-30, you will be glad you did and so will the LORD Jesus.
