Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. Psalm 92 Praise to the Lord for His Love and Faithfulness A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. 1It is good to give thanks to the Lord, 5O Lord, how great are Your works! 8But You, Lord, are on high forevermore. 10But my [b]horn You have exalted like a wild ox; 12The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
Some asks questions such as: · If God is for me and on my side why am I facing these afflictions? · What is there to thank God for as I am not yet where I should be?
Remember that you are a work in progress, God is not finished with you yet. Also it is only God who can remove your afflictions and take you to where He has destined for you to get to as you follow Him…in His divine, all-knowing timing.
· Look at my mates, look at where I am what is there to thank God for?
By the way the Bible says it is foolishness to compare oneself with others. You are in your own God created unique and special class because you were fearfully and wonderfully made – crafted by God.
We do not have the audacity to put ourselves in the same class or compare ourselves with some who [supply testimonials to] commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they lack wisdom and behave like fools. (2 Corinthians 10:12)
Do remember, some of your mates are no longer here.
Why thank God? (very few highlights)
1. He is a unique God, there is no one else like Him (1 Chronicles 17:20, Exodus 15:11).
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11
2. He made the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1)
3. He is the I AM THAT I AM (Heb. Eheyeh asher Eheyeh) I am that (who or what) I am. I am the Self existent one; the Eternal, the One who always has been and who always will be Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. (Psalm 90:2).
4. He is above all other Gods according to Exodus 18:11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
5. There is no one as holy as our God There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. (1 Samuel 2:22)
6. He is the Almighty God: When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai— ‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. (Genesis 17:1) El Shaddai means the Almighty God, the Strong One, the Breasted One. This means God is the Strong-Nourisher, Strength-Giver, Satisfier. God is the All-Bountiful, the supplier of the needs of His people.
7. He is a man of war who does not lose battles The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3) The LORD will go forth like a warrior, He will stir up His zeal like a man of war; He will shout out, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail [mightily] against His enemies. (Isaiah 42:13)
8. He fights for His children (Exodus 14:14)
The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
