Psalm 104:5

Psalm 104:5

The earth cannot be moved

Psalm 96:10 tells us that the “world is firmly established, it cannot be moved.” Psalm 24:1-2 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” Psalm 93:1 promises, “The world is established, firm and secure.” The earth here refers to the “land” not to the whole planet. In other words, the seas will never again be able to flood over the land, there will always be dry ground and a separation from the oceans and waters that cover so much of the surface of the planet. We have discovered, in recent years, that our treatment of the land affects the seas in that the ice cap is melting and the sea levels are rising; powerful evidence, if any was needed, that if we ignore God then the seas grow in their influence over the land. “Climate change” is God’s way of showing mankind that we cannot live on this planet driven by greed and self-interest, if we do, the waters will start to return.

However, the Lord has already promised that complete destruction will not happen, He will not allow the earth to flood again. The land has solid foundations and human beings cannot move them. We may tamper with creation, the Satan would love to destroy it, but our God remains in control, and nothing can stop Him from keeping His word. If mankind will not listen, then the Lord will intervene but not by means of a flood, the oceans will never again be allowed to dominate the land! 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
