He Rescues Us From Our Enemies - Part 847

More and more, I seem to be using the phrase "Jesus NEVER fails!" Initially, the phrase was a response to friends who seemed to be struggling from the burden of life issues. But lately, the same heavy load that is weighing on non-believers seems to be a problem even for those who do believe. This is a problem that cannot continue.

Why? Because our Lord God and Saviour fully expects us to reign -- not only in the next life but here on earth too. And He has equipped us to do the same. Indeed, His desire is for us to become "world changers" like the apostles, turning the world upside down with the good news gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom. 

In that context, today's message comes from Psalms. David wrote the psalm prior to God becoming flesh so God's name -- beyond Lord -- is not specifically mentioned. However, the content in David's message remains relevant today. The only difference is that in this current dispensation of grace, we know who our Lord God and Saviour by name --- Jesus -- the King of kings and Lord of lords. 

Read on ... from Psalms 136:

"Praise the Lord! He is good! God’s love never fails. Praise the God of all gods. God’s love never fails. Praise the Lord of lords. God’s love never fails. Only God works great miracles. God’s love never fails. With wisdom He made the sky. God’s love never fails. 

The Lord stretched the earth over the ocean. God’s love never fails. He made the bright lights in the sky. God’s love never fails. He lets the sun rule each day. God’s love never fails. He lets the moon and the stars rule each night. God’s love never fails ... 

God used His great strength and His powerful arm. God’s love never fails. He split the Red Sea apart. God’s love never fails.The Lord brought Israel safely through the sea. God’s love never fails. He destroyed the Egyptian king and his army there. God’s love never fails.The Lord led His people through the desert. God’s love never fails. Our God defeated mighty kings. God’s love never fails. And He killed famous kings. God’s love never fails. 

One of them was Sihon, king of the Amorites. God’s love never fails. Another was King Og of Bashan. God’s love never fails. God took away their land. God’s love never fails. He gave their land to Israel the people who serve Him. God’s love never fails. God saw the trouble we were in. God’s love never fails. He rescued us from our enemies. God’s love never fails. He gives food to all who live. God’s love never fails. Praise God in heaven. God’s love never fails.

So the next time you aren't sure what is happening in your life, take hold of God's promise that still stands true today. That is, Jesus love for you and I never fails. Stand in the offering plate.
