He is good. We are saved for His glory. He saves us because He loves us. We sadly forget. Listen and trust Him. He continues to rescue. He is faithful. He remembers His promises.
I love how often the Exodus story is retold in the Bible; it is such a good reminder to be grateful to God and appreciate all that is does for us. It reminds me to not complain about my life, but relish in the innumerable blessings.
The psalmist does not hesitate to recount the wrongs and sins of himself and his fathers because his delight is in the steadfast love and deliverance of God. May we also look to our past lives and the old man in such a way that it can be devoted to praising God for His kindness and grace.
Hi ladies! I’m having trouble understanding verses 30-31. I grew up Catholic, but I’m getting more into Protestant, and this verse just confuses me when it comes to the term “righteousness” and how Phinehas’s act credited him. Does anyone have any insight for me?
Matthew Poole’s Commentary may be helpful for you regarding v. 31: “And although that action of his might seem harsh, and rash, and irregular, as being done by a private person and a priest, and as allowing the delinquents no space for repentance, it was accepted and rewarded by God as an act of justice and piety agreeable to his mind, and proceeding from a sincere zeal for God’s honour, and for the good of God’s people; and God gave him a public testimony of his approbation to be recorded to all generations, and the priesthood to be continued to him and his in all succeeding generations, of all which see Numbers 25.”
Thank you Lord that you are always good and steadfast when we arent. What a comfort that we can cling to you always as a rock, that Jesus blood covers us and presents us as righteous before you always. Help me Lord to operate from the position of righteousness that was given to me freely. Help me to look to You constantly for guidance and rest ❤️
5 “I want to see your chosen succeed,
celebrate with your celebrating nation,
join the Hallelujahs of your pride and joy!”
Lord- how I want to join the Hallelujahs of your pride and joy!!!
It is so easy to become consumed with my sin and shame and “never good enough” posturing. But remaining a slave to shame is like saying Your blood isnt enough to cover me. Help me to remember that I am Your pride and joy. And I will join the chorus of Hallelujah every chance I get.
I’m playing catch up today. With my mind moving a million miles an hour with my classes, studying, and working that I sometimes feel like I’m not truly getting anything out of the reading. I always look to the comments for guidance and I must say that your post really spoke to me! I’m currently in a season of constant worry and immense guilt and shame. Despite asking for God’s forgiveness and guidance, I am still fixated on my wrongs. But you’re so right that in my worrying it’s like I’m telling God that his forgiveness isn’t good enough! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! They’re really helping me change my outlook
Such beautiful& truthful reminders. God never ever leaves us truly& He is always waiting until we see His provision and His beautiful paths He wants us to take, until we surrender& turn away from our sin& need to control/ choose what we want selfishly. God is so faithful, beautiful and loving. We are blessed
A good reminder. How often do we forget God in our lives? But He’s there. Waiting for us to turn away from our wickedness and selfish desires. What a loving and faithful God.
Verse 47 “Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your Holy Name and glory in Your praise.” Lord, gather us to You and save us from being overcome by the things of this world. Praise be to Him!
I don’t comment here much, but I would love to thank SRT for this app. I have been raised in the Christian church but was always just in attendance, going through the motions. This Bible journey has taken me so much deeper into these things and for that I am grateful. I am very OCD and get very caught up and confused in the readings, details, timelines, etc and find myself researching for a long time after each reading, and each topic leads me down a rabbit hole reading more and more, exploring meaning, reading about prophecies and how they are being fulfilled daily. I am weak in my ability to believe in things, as I am a very skeptical person, and have a hard time thinking about the unknown, but I am doing my best to open my heart and search to be called deeper by my Lord and to have the faith and strength in spirit that you ladies do. I thank God today for this app and for the ability to learn more about my faith, and deepen my connection, to care less about things, the current world, and materialistic callings of our time, and search for the deeper meaning and the faith in what is after this world.
Alyssa- I’ve always heard the Christian life is like a marathon, not a 100 yd dash. Keep on keeping on. So glad you are searching the scriptures like the Berean believers in Acts. I believe God reveals more of Himself like the layers of an onion- one layer at a time. With the prophesies in Isaiah there are many fulfillments that it can be confusing but I am so encouraged to read of your hungry heart for truth. God Bless you.
V13. How easy I forget the works of the Lord And his steadfast love toward me yet I am tossed and turned by my own emotions, circumstances around me, desires of the flesh in this broken world. Lord would you do a work in my heart? Help me be ever more devoted to you in my heart and actions. Amen.
Shirl, I was going to post almost the same thing this morning. How easy is it to say God has abandoned me when I am struggling or going through a rough time, how easy is it for me to feel I have to fight through on my own…BUT look at the faithfulness of God! Look at all the wonderful things He has done (and continues to do). I know it’s doing my heart a load of good to meditate on that this morning instead of my own shortcomings. Praying that God would take both of our hearts and make them more devoted to Him and focused solely on Him.
Shirl and Becky I am right here with you. This verse leapt off the page to me as a gentle admonishment. Your words affirm my need to pause and remember the Lord’s faithfulness in my life and “…wait for his plan to unfold.” Thank you ladies for your words of wisdom and honesty. Praying with you both.
I always enjoy Psalm Sunday and today was no exception. Today I’m reminded again that no matter the faults we make, as long as we remain focused on His direction and all He has already done for us, we can veer away but always to turn our Faith back to where it matters. Psalm 106:43 Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their purposes
and were brought low through their iniquity.
Thank goodness for a living father who rescues us when we stumble and fall from his grace.
He is good. We are saved for His glory. He saves us because He loves us. We sadly forget. Listen and trust Him. He continues to rescue. He is faithful. He remembers His promises.
Today is my birthday I am 21 and i just thank God for bringing me this far his grace his mercy is unmatched his Love is unmatched ❤️

Out of his great love! He relented. That verse really stood out to me.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, his loves endures forever. That is a good verse to remember

This is a great example of how the people continually son repent and sinned. But God truly loves us and will forever love us.
*sin. Not som
I agree! I am constantly astounded by the loving and forgiving nature of God.
Just what I needed today! For the Lord is always good even when we aren’t.
Amen!

They forgot God, but God never forgot them.

Thank your Gabrielle! I appreciate it very much. God bless you
this was very encouraging to me, thank you!
