Psalm 66:7

Psalm 66:7

His eyes watch the nations

These are frightening times for many people. The world is suffering from a pandemic such as we never seen before. Millions have died and at the time of writing, 2 years after it all began, there is still no respite. Mr Putin and his Russian army think that they can move in and destroy a neighbouring country with few repercussions. Meanwhile most of the world’s economies are in horrific debt. Money has been borrowed with no material assets to underwrite the loans, and in some countries the interest rates are negative because governments cannot afford to maintain their repayments. The system is about to break and “economic growth” that was meant to continue forever will come to an end. Millions will be plunged into poverty and famine. 

Meanwhile, we keep producing nuclear warheads, biological and chemical weapons and sophisticated weaponry that could destroy our planet many times over. Add to this scenario, the Climate Change agenda and the world is in a complete and utter mess. The only answer that mankind has, is to come together in a global system that can tackle the global problems and to keep exploring outer space to see if we can live somewhere away from this planet!

Thank God for verses like this one that tells us, “The Lord rules forever by His power, His eyes watch the nations – let not the rebellious rise up against Him.”  The sole cause of all of our problems is man’s rejection of the living God and an agenda by the Satan to destroy all that the Lord has created. Thank God for His Word that tells us there is a better way and there is One who watches the nations and who will eventually say, “Enough is enough!” Hallelujah!

Psalm 4:1 Smear campaigns

Psalm 4:1    Smear campaigns   The background to this Psalm is so familiar; David is being slandered and maligned by his detractors.  It seems that some calamity has befallen the nation and the king is getting the blame! Lies are being told, a smear campaign has begun, and the reputation of the Sovereign is under threat.  As usual, if something goes wrong, culpability is laid at the feet of the one in charge.  David, quite rightly, turns to the Lord his God and prays for relief and for mercy. The Satan is a master of such campaigns and his emissaries gleefully turn on Christians in leadership positions although the whispering campaign can affect all of us. The whispering starts in our own heads, but it can also come from the lips of our detractors. It goes something like this: - You’re the reason it went wrong You messed up again You should have seen it coming Surely you know better You are not worthy You don’t know what you’re doing Someone else ought to be in c

Psalm 74:16

Psalm 74:16 God established the sun and the moon “ In  the beginning   God created   the heavens   and the earth.   2  Now the earth was formless   and empty,   darkness was over the surface of the deep,   and the Spirit of God   was hovering over the waters. 3  And God said,   “Let there be light,” and there was light.   4  God saw that the light was good,   and he separated the light from the darkness.   5  God called   the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”   And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” These, so familiar, words from Genesis 1 remind us of who is in charge! There would be no light without God. There would be no day or night without God. There would be no earth without God. And there would have been no living things unless God had created order out of chaos. The sun, moon and stars would not be fixed in their orbits without God and you and I would not exist unless He ordered our conception. It is because we see God as glorious, righteous

Psalm4:8        I will lie down and sleep                Th ere are times, in the life of all believers, when we no longer have control of situations. We can do nothing more. We have given our all, we have tried every possible solution and now it is out of our hands. As someone has wisely said, “It is time to let go and let God.” If we truly trust Him, if our faith will allow us, we can turn our backs on our enemies. We can block our ears to the threats. We can ignore the lies and the deceit and say,  “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord, make me dwell in safety.” I should imagine that the devil, having sent a hurricane our way is not amused, when we settle in our beds in the midst of it all and drift off into a peaceful sleep! But that is our right and privilege once we let the Lord God Almighty take control. These spiritual attacks are like whirlwinds, they blow with terrifying intensity and threaten to turn us upside down; the disciples witnessed one of thes
