God's Faithfulness

Ezekiel 38; Ezekiel 39; Psalm 145; Revelation 20

Scripture:
Psalm 145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.

Observation:
Psalm 145 reminds me of the incredible faithfulness and goodness of the Lord. God is so to anger, gentle in love and He knows my needs and He knows that to give me to move me forward in the plans and purposes He has set for my life. There will be times where I feel like He is not close. There will be times where I feel there is no way out, but the promises of God are eternal, and nothing can stop them. My eyes must be on the Lord, my ears must be tuning into His voice, for I must walk in the steps my Shepherd has walked before me.

Application:
What a great hope, what a great promise this morning. The kingdom of God is everlasting, His dominion knows no end. Nothing can stand against Him. I am honored to be a child of God, blessed to be in covenant with God and all this made possible through the gift of Jesus Christ. God knows my needs, He knows where He is taking me and I am learning to let go to His will and to His ways. I do not always understand, but I do know that He is in control. As I reflect this morning on the goodness of God I know the enemy can only try to distract me. He wants to get my eyes and ears off the Lord. He wants me to listen to the foolish words of men and my flesh, he wants me to look at the things of this world like money and material things. I am glad to declare that money and things will remain behind, I want to focus on the eternal, things that I take with me to heaven, people I have ministered too or led to the Lord, those are the true riches of heaven.

Prayer:
Father thank You for always taking care of me. You have never failed me or let me go. I stand before You today as You child because of the precious blood of Jesus. I am forgive and restored to a place of authority, power and position. I pray today that I would lead well from these and that my heart would be all about Your kingdom and dominion. Forgive me for selfish ambitions and for listen to foolish talk. I ask You today to give me wisdom, discernment and compassion for all those I encounter today. May I serve with the same attitude as Christ, placing others in front of myself. Bless this day. Bless Vince as he master’s the album. Bless his business and speak to him through all of us. Bless my friend Josh this morning that peace and wisdom. Give him the insight of heaven on the next steps. Pour out favor on him. I pray for my father-in-law back home and ask You to give him peace and hope. Open the right doors and lift up his spirit. Bless my family back home and watch over them. I pray for my wife today and ask You to refresh her. Give her wisdom for her meeting today and pour out favor on her. I pray for the CD project and ask You to clearly guide the next steps. I know that without You it will be hard, but with Your favor and guidance many lives will be touched. Thank You for this day, go before me and lead I pray.
Amen.
