God Hates the Wicked II

(Psa 10:2-10,GNB)Part II: 
Wicked: 
5. Their speech is filled with curses, lies, and threats; they are quick to speak hateful, evil words. 
6. They hide themselves in the villages, waiting to murder innocent people. 
7. They spy on their helpless victims; 
8. They wait in their hiding place like lions. They lie in wait for the poor; they catch them in their traps and drag them away. 

Leave the wickedness, turn to the Lord & be humble. He will bless you.

God Hates the Wicked I

Wicked: 
1. are proud and persecute the poor;
2. are proud of their evil desires; 
3. do not care about the LORD; in their pride they think that God doesn't matter.
4. succeed in everything. They say to themselves, "We will never fail; we will never be in trouble." 

Self check ur life, whether any of these wicked things is found in your life. IF so act quickly and take corrective action. God hates the wickedness of people.

JEHOVAH JIREH: The LORD Will Provide

(Psa 9:18,GNB) The needy will not always be neglected; the hope of the poor will not be crushed forever.

God is the creator of this world and is our Provider.Yet sometimes we go through situations of neglect and need.With all the worldly resources closing down or getting exhausted, we may go through desperate situations.No one seems to be really bothered abt us. Still, don't give up. Help is near. He will surely meet your needs you will not be neglected forever.

Sin & Death

(Psa 9:17,GNB) Death is the destiny of all the wicked, of all those who reject God. 

Death means separation. Since God is Holy, anyone who is sinful and wicked will also loose the presence of God in their life. Without God, there is darkness and curse. When people continue to live a sinful life, rejecting God, they will be permanently thrown into the lake of fire which is the second death. Be careful. Don't dwell in your sinful ways. Come out of it. Warn others too.

God Looks at Your Intentions

(Psa 9:15,NLT) The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.

Any person or nation devising evil snares will themselves fall into that trap. This is proven again and again in world history and in the life of individuals.God is watching over ur intentions and actions.Nothing is hidden to God. Be a person of good heart. Always do good in the lives of others and enjoy the goodness of God in ur life.

The Steadfast Love of GOD

(Psa 9:10,CEV) Everyone who honors Your name can trust You, because You are faithful to all who depend on You.

Our God is steadfast in His love and is faithful in fulfilling His promises. He never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Bt what about your faithfulness? How strong and consistent are you in loving God and trusting in HIM? Does your faith depend on feelings and the things you see around or on the written promises of God? Don't b wavery and fragile in faith.

Justice

(Psa 9:7,ESV) But the LORD sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice 

Our God is loving, kind, merciful and gracious on one side. On the other side, He is Holy, impartial, zealous and just. He is all powerful and is everlasting. He is in control of the whole universe and He will deliver justice to His people. He will condemn the evil. He is righteous and will not spare the wicked. Prepare to meet this God face to face. He is coming to judge.

LORD: The Shelter

(Psa 9:9,NLT) The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

Christian way of living will not be like a bed of roses. It has both ups and downs, good and bad, easy and tough times.We need to carry the cross in life to follow Jesus.You may be oppressed and put to testing times in the family, place of work or study because of your faith life in Jesus. But don't worry. He is our refuge. Run to HIM for help and seek His face alone. He will never let you down.

The Joy of the Lord.

(Psa 9:2,NLT) I will be filled with joy because of You. I will sing praises to Your name, O Most High.

The very fact that we are God's children and He has taken control of our life should remove all anxieties  from your life and should fill you with His Joy. Don't be worried about your future or be anxious about anything. Rather, submit everything to God in thanksgiving. He'll make everything perfect concerning your future. Rejoice. Be glad singing praises to His name.

Praise GOD with All Your Heart

(Psa 9:1,NLT) I will praise You, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done.

The Lord dwells among Praises and loves to hear our praises. He alone is worthy to be praised. Are you grateful to GOD for all His blessings in your life? Are you talking about HIS greatness and love to others?  When you are enjoying His Provision and Protection, God expects you to tell about HIM to others. If you don't tell about God & HIS blessings, who else will tell?

JEHOVAH BORE: The LORD Creator

(Psa 8:3-5,LITV) When I look upon Your heavens, the work of Your fingers: the moon and the stars which You have fixed; what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him? For You have made him lack a little from God and have crowned him with glory and honor.

Unworthy and nothing are we before our creator God.Yet He is mindful of us.The very fact that 'He has made us in His image with the free will to decide shows His love for us. "You are really special to Him".

Justice from the LORD.

(Psa 7:14-17,GNB) See how wicked people think up evil; they plan trouble & practice deception. But in the traps they set for others, they themselves get caught.So they are punished by their own evil & are hurt by their own violence.I thank the LORD for His justice;

Don't follow the ways of the wicked. Don't try to take revenge on others for their evil acts. Rather leave those things to God and forgive them.Then you will also be forgiven and blessed by God.

Repentance

Salvation is free thru JESUS CHRIST. But Repentance is a command. Anyone who ignores this or refuses to repent will be condemned to eternal death. God's reaction to such people is as follows.

(Psa 7:12-13,NLT) If a person does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He will bend and string His bow. He will prepare His deadly weapons and shoot His flaming arrows. 

Tell your near and dear about this important command of God and also share the good news of Salvation.

JEHOVAH HASHOPET: The LORD the Judge

(Psa 7:11,NIV) God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day. 

One side God is loving, gracious, forgiving and patient. But on the other side He is a consuming fire. He takes revenge against the evil with vengeance and will punish us for our wrongdoings. Don't take His silence for granted and don't mistake His patience with you. He is giving you yet another opportunity to change. Everyday will not be the same. Be submissive and correct yourself to avoid His wrath.

JEHOVAH MACHSI: The LORD My Refuge

(Psa 7:10,NIrV) The Most High God is like a shield that keeps me safe.He saves those whose hearts are honest.


God is our refuge  and ever present help in trouble. Safety is sure with God even when we are alone. He watches over us all the time and will neither sleep nor slumber. He will never fail, but will provide for all that we need in life. Be of strong faith and don't allow situations to bring doubt in your mind. Just be sincere and honest in following HIM.

GOD Looks At the Heart

 (Psa 7:9,NIrV) God, You always do what is right. You look deep down inside the hearts and minds of people. 

Our God is all powerful. We can hide things from this world but not from God. He knows even our secret thoughts. We can act before people as if we are good. But when it comes to God, He looks down into our heart & mind to know our attitude and  intentions. He analyses them and decides whether we are right or wrong. Beware of this. No one can cheat HIM.

The Righteous Judge.

(Psa 7:8,NLT) The LORD judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O LORD, for I am innocent, O Most High! 

The Lord God is a righteous judge. He is impartial and will judge the world. He is going to come back soon. Are you accused of wrongdoings and penalised for no mistake of yours? People may mistake you and may even think that you are crooked. But don't worry. The Lord will declare your innocence and shall reward you for your righteous life. Keep going and don't lose your focus.

A Clear Conscience.

(Psa 7:3-5,NLT) O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice, if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause, then let my enemies capture me. 

David was very clear in his conscience before God. So he could give a daring suggestion to handed over to his enemies, if found wrong. How abt us? How clear is our heart and life before God and men? Can we be as confident about our life like this? If not, it is time for overhauling and correction.

GOD Will Fight for You.

(Psa 6:10,NLT) May all my enemies be disgraced & terrified. May they suddenly turn back in shame. 

Are you surrounded by enemies and wicked people who are waiting for your destruction? Are you terrified because of them? Look upto God alone for help. When God becomes your refuge and shelter, your safety is assured. God shall terrify them and they will be ashamed and then turn away from you in disgrace. God will fight for you. Battle belongs to the Lord and the Victory belongs to you.

The LORD Listens to His Children's Cry

(Psa 6:8-9,NIrV) The LORD has heard my sobbing. The LORD has heard my cry for His favor. The LORD accepts my prayer.

Are you crying in secret? Sobbing silently in your bed at night? Not knowing whom to share your problem and ask for help? Don't worry. Cheer up. The Lord watches over you and He listens to ur silent cry. He will not let you down. He will give the answer to your problem. He will deliver you. Trust Him and be Happy. Your mourning will turn into Joy.

Waiting Desperately For the LORD's Touch??.

(Psa 6:2-3,GNB) I am worn out, O LORD; have pity on me! Give me strength;I am completely exhausted & my whole being is deeply troubled.How long, O LORD, will You wait to help me?

Have u been waiting for too long to be healed? Do you feel tired and totally exhausted? Are you afraid that God has forsaken you.? Don't lose heart. He willingly allows you to go through testing times just to refine you and to make you strong in faith. He knows your future and allows pain, if it is beneficial for you.

Obedience

(Psa 5:12, GNB) You bless those who obey You, LORD; Your love protects them like a shield.

God values your obedience more than your sacrifice and offerings. Ur love for Him is seen and measured by your level of Obedience. God loves and bless those who obey Him. His love for His children is the greatest protection for He watches over them like a bird that watches over its young ones. How much do you love Jesus?

Is JESUS Your Refuge??

(Psa 5:11,NLT) But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your name may be filled with joy.


Real Joy is only with Jesus and is preserved for those who love HIM as the first in their life. God's protection will be over them and He is their refuge. Because of that, no evil will come over them and there is always Joy and Happiness. Do u love HIM the most and is Jesus ur refuge?
