Psalm 33

I've been immersed in prayer this morning.  Loving God's precious gems in His Word.  He led me to Psalm 33 today.  Please read it, too.  Meditate.  Ask God's Holy Spirit to reveal what HE wants you to understand from this Psalm.  I was especially drawn to verse 12:

"Happy the nation whose God is Yahweh".  Happy and Blessed are the same word.  We have been such a blessed nation, and will continue to be as long as we seek God and know HE IS LORD!!!! 

Reading on in verse 16:  "A large army will not keep a king safe,
nor does the hero escape by his great strength;
It is delusion to rely on the horse for safety,
for all its power, it cannot save."  Continue reading, and then in verses 20-22:

"Our soul awaits Yahweh,
HE is our help and shield;
our hearts rejoice in HIM,
we trust in HIS HOLY NAME. (Yahweh, or Jesus)
Yahweh, let your love rest on us
as our hope has rested in YOU."

JESUS IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.  HE ALONE IS OUR HOPE.  HE IS OUR HELP AND SHIELD FROM HARM AND THE EVIL ONE.  We rejoice in HIM.  Praise God!

verse 6 "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the f
breath of His mouth all their host."

Every year when I teach astronomy to my third graders I learn something new. I am in awe of the vastness of the universe. It is so big, and I am so small, yet God knows all about me and loves me anyway.

I think just about the time astrologers think they have the universe figured out, God just stretches it out even more. Where is the end of the universe, anyway? What is out there? Someday maybe I'll find out!

Isn't that amazing, Debbie? God's vast universe! So beautiful and yet so mysterious. Louie Giglio's latest DVD is so beautiful and powerful and brings this stuff to life. Do you have it? I do. I could loan it to you, if you want. I think I'll go watch it again.
