Great are the Works of the Lord

Psalm 111

“Praise the LordI will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the works of the Lordstudied by all who delight in them. Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and merciful. He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!”

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”

Persistence in Prayer

Luke 18:1

“And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.”

In amazement, I find people that I gave up on are now walking with the Lord. I Corinthians 3:7 says, “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” God can do anything without our permission. If we’re not dead – God’s not done!
