Psalm 68:19 ... Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
Exhortation: (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)
Daily as we think on those words given us by God by HIS Spirit we are loaded with benefits. Also as we think of the many physical things God has arranged for us we think on HIS benefits. Yesterday I was overwhelmed at one point in the physical benefits and I was thanking God for providing so abundantly for me in so many ways to help me endure this earth.
And God saves us by that word He gives us by His Spirit.
Save means:
- to keep from harm and danger
- to rescue from harm and danger
- to prevent from going into harm and danger
- to preserve ... not to be used up needlessly
- to avoid, lessen, guard against
- to prevent opponent from scoring against us
- keep us from pointless effort
All these things are done by that word given us by God as we walk on this earth.
When we think on that word and make appropriate actions in our lives we enter into a rest provided by God.
When some people think of Jesus, they think of some human shape. When I think of Jesus I usually think of THE WORD.
Jesus lived in the flesh for a short time to fulfill the Word of God and to make a way to God for us by shedding His blood. But Jesus was before the creation of the earth ... Gen. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word,
... v. 14 ...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us
THE WORD does everything and is great power and is life.
There is no end to THE WORD ... The word of the Lord endures forever ... I Peter 1
We are refreshed as we things of the various words given us by God by HIS Spirit that dwells in us.
