Psalm 23

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.
¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³ he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
⁵ You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever. You

Psalm 22

Psalm 22

New International Version (NIV)

 ¹ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
   Why are you so far from saving me,
   so far from my cries of anguish?

These verses are prophesying about when Jesus died on the cross for us and He cried out to God asking why He forsaken Him to acknowledge that God put our sin upon Him so that He could give us His righteousness. God The Father turned and looked away from sin and separated Himself from sin.Jesus willingly gave Himself in our place and took the punishment we deserved and died for us so we can be saved.

² My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
   by night, but I find no rest.

³ Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
   you are the one Israel praises.
⁴ In you our ancestors put their trust;
   they trusted and you delivered them.
⁵ To you they cried out and were saved;
   in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
 ⁶ But I am a worm and not a man,
   scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
⁷ All who see me mock me;
   they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
⁸ “He trusts in the LORD,” they say,
   “let the LORD rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
   since he delights in him.”
This prophesy is about how Jesus took our shame on Himself and the people said if he is God let Him save himself but Christ willingly took our place so we could be saved.
 ⁹ Yet you brought me out of the womb;
   you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
¹⁰ From birth I was cast on you;
   from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
 ¹¹ Do not be far from me,
   for trouble is near
   and there is no one to help.
 ¹² Many bulls surround me;
   strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
¹³ Roaring lions that tear their prey
   open their mouths wide against me.
¹⁴ I am poured out like water,  Jesus is the living water and word when He was peirced His side poured out water and blood -of the passover He was our sacrificial lamb to save us!
   and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
   it has melted within me.
¹⁵ My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,
   and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
   you lay me in the dust of death.
 ¹⁶ Dogs surround me,
   a pack of villains encircles me;
   they pierce my hands and my feet.  This is about How Christ was predicted to die on the cross It showed in prophesy years before how He was to be executed on the crucifix.
¹⁷ All my bones are on display;
   people stare and gloat over me.
¹⁸ They divide my clothes among them
   and cast lots for my garment.  This shows how prophesy stated they would gamble and cast lots for His garments.The roman soldiers did cast lots for Christs garments The clothes His mother made that had no seams it was special clothes the jewish rabbis wear.
 ¹⁹ But you, LORD, do not be far from me.
   You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
²⁰ Deliver me from the sword,
   my precious life from the power of the dogs.
²¹ Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
   save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
 ²² I will declare your name to my people;
   in the assembly I will praise you.
²³ You who fear the LORD, praise him!  ------PRAISE JESUS AMEN!
   All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
   Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised or scorned
   the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
   but has listened to his cry for help.
 ²⁵ From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
   before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.
²⁶ The poor will eat and be satisfied;
   those who seek the LORD will praise him—
   may your hearts live forever!
 ²⁷ All the ends of the earth
   will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
   will bow down before him, ²⁸ for dominion belongs to the LORD
   and he rules over the nations.
 ²⁹ All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
   all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
   those who cannot keep themselves alive.
³⁰ Posterity will serve him;
   future generations will be told about the Lord.
³¹ They will proclaim his righteousness,
   declaring to a people yet unborn:
   He has done it!   
Jesus Has risen He IS OUR SAVIOUR AND LORD AMEN!

Psalm 21

<sup>Jesus Grants us victory strength and gives us our hearts desires according to His plan for blessing us He gives us long life Jesus Is our source and provider He IS God.

1</sup> The king rejoices in your strength, LORD.
   How great is his joy in the victories you give!
 ² You have granted him his heart’s desire
   and have not withheld the request of his lips.
³ You came to greet him with rich blessings
   and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
⁴ He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
   length of days, for ever and ever.
⁵ Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
   you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
⁶ Surely you have granted him unending blessings
   and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
⁷ For the king trusts in the LORD;
   through the unfailing love of the Most High
   he will not be shaken.
 ⁸ Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;
   your right hand will seize your foes.
⁹ When you appear for battle,
   you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.
The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath,
   and his fire will consume them.
¹⁰ You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
   their posterity from mankind.
¹¹ Though they plot evil against you
   and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.
¹² You will make them turn their backs
   when you aim at them with drawn bow.
 ¹³ Be exalted in your strength, LORD;
   we will sing and praise your might.

Psalm 20

¹ May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
   may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
The name of The Lord is YHVH=The hand of God nailed to the cross in grace=Jesus
So this psalm prays that Jesus=YHVH or Yahweh or Jehova will Save and Protect YOU!Amen
² May he send you help from the sanctuary
   and grant you support from Zion.
³ May he remember all your sacrifices
   and accept your burnt offerings. ^{Jesus IS our acceptable sacrifice through which we are forgiven !Amen
4} May he give you the desire of your heart
   and make all your plans succeed.
⁵ May we shout for joy over your victory
   and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
   May the LORD grant all your requests.
 ⁶ Now this I know:
   The LORD gives victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
   with the victorious power of his right hand. Jesus sits at God's right hand and IS His authority so it is through Jesus that we are forgiven,protected,that he gives us the desires of our heart,victory,He makes our plans succeed,and gives us joy- when we live life HIS way according to His will so if we obey and live as He calls us He gives us the direction and good desires to want the right things and He brings about the blessings for us to have joy and victory in our lives.
⁷ Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
   but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. =JESUS
⁸ They are brought to their knees and fall,
   but we rise up and stand firm.
⁹ LORD, give victory to the king!
   Answer us when we call!

Psalm 19

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
² Day after day they pour forth speech;
   night after night they reveal knowledge.
³ They have no speech, they use no words;
   no sound is heard from them.
⁴ Yet their voice  goes out into all the earth,
   their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
 ⁵ It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
   like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
⁶ It rises at one end of the heavens
   and makes its circuit to the other;
   nothing is deprived of its warmth.
 ⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect,
   refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
   making wise the simple.
⁸ The precepts of the LORD are right,
   giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
   giving light to the eyes.
⁹ The fear of the LORD is pure,
   enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm,
   and all of them are righteous.
 ¹⁰ They are more precious than gold,
   than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
   than honey from the honeycomb.
¹¹ By them your servant is warned;
   in keeping them there is great reward.
¹² But who can discern their own errors?
   Forgive my hidden faults.  Thank You Jesus for forgiving and renewing me!
¹³ Keep your servant also from willful sins;
   may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
   innocent of great transgression.
 ¹⁴ May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
   be pleasing in your sight,
   LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
This psalm reveals that there is a great deal of design and purpose to the creation of our earth and the universe.The very fact we can look with our eyes and see the majesty of God's work it reveals to us that there is a design and therefore a designer=God. We Thank God for all the blessings He gives us we have so much to be gratefull for everyday.We can be thankfull God forgives us our sins and renews our life.Praise Jesus!Amen

 

Psalm 18

¹ I love you, LORD, my strength.
 ² The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
   my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
   my shield  and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
 God is our defense our authority our saviour and deliverer He is our strength!
 ³ I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,  <---PRAISE JESUS
   and I have been saved from my enemies.
⁴ The cords of death entangled me;
   the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁵ The cords of the grave coiled around me;
   the snares of death confronted me.
 ⁶ In my distress I called to the LORD;
   I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
   my cry came before him, into his ears.
We can always pray to God who is our help
⁷ The earth trembled and quaked,
   and the foundations of the mountains shook;
   they trembled because he was angry.
⁸ Smoke rose from his nostrils;
   consuming fire came from his mouth,
   burning coals blazed out of it.
⁹ He parted the heavens and came down;
   dark clouds were under his feet.
¹⁰ He mounted the cherubim and flew;
   he soared on the wings of the wind.
¹¹ He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
   the dark rain clouds of the sky.
¹² Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
   with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
¹³ The LORD thundered from heaven;
   the voice of the Most High resounded.
^{The Lord deals with our enemies ,so we don't have to worry we can trust in the Lord to defend us we can put our trust in Him
14} He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
   with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
¹⁵ The valleys of the sea were exposed
   and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, LORD,
   at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
 ¹⁶ He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
   he drew me out of deep waters.
¹⁷ He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
   from my foes, who were too strong for me.
¹⁸ They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
   but the LORD was my support.
¹⁹ He brought me out into a spacious place;
   he rescued me because he delighted in me.
 ²⁰ The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
   according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
²¹ For I have kept the ways of the LORD;
   I am not guilty of turning from my God.
I thank God for helping me to repent-turn to Him and saving me He forgives Thank God
²² All his laws are before me;
   I have not turned away from his decrees.
²³ I have been blameless before him
   and have kept myself from sin.
²⁴ The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
   according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
 ²⁵ To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
   to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
²⁶ to the pure you show yourself pure,
   but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
²⁷ You save the humble
   but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
²⁸ You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;
   my God turns my darkness into light.
²⁹ With your help I can advance against a troop;
   with my God I can scale a wall.
God strengthens us to do things we never even dreamed possible but with God He empowers us to do all He has called us to do.If it is God's will for us He provides the way for it to be.
 ³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect:
   The LORD’s word is flawless;
   he shields all who take refuge in him.
³¹ For who is God besides the LORD?
   And who is the Rock except our God?
³² It is God who arms me with strength
   and keeps my way secure.
³³ He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
   he causes me to stand on the heights.
³⁴ He trains my hands for battle;
   my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵ You make your saving help my shield,
   and your right hand sustains me;
   your help has made me great.
³⁶ You provide a broad path for my feet,
   so that my ankles do not give way.
 ³⁷ I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
   I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
³⁸ I crushed them so that they could not rise;
   they fell beneath my feet.
³⁹ You armed me with strength for battle;
   you humbled my adversaries before me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
   and I destroyed my foes.
⁴¹ They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
   to the LORD, but he did not answer.
⁴² I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
   I trampled them like mud in the streets.
⁴³ You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
   you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
 ⁴⁴ foreigners cower before me;
   as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
⁴⁵ They all lose heart;
   they come trembling from their strongholds.
 ⁴⁶ The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
   Exalted be God my Savior! ⁴⁷ He is the God who avenges me,
   who subdues nations under me,
 ⁴⁸ who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
   from a violent man you rescued me.
⁴⁹ Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations;
   I will sing the praises of your name.
 ⁵⁰ He gives his king great victories;
   he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
   to David and to his descendants forever.

Read bible for direction!

The things you pay attention to direct your life

deuteronomy - keep focused on God's will and plan -7-12 if you pay attention to God's laws then God will keep His covenant and make your way blessed -trust God to guide and direct our steps

psalm 119-35 direct me in the path of your commands for there I find the light turn my eyes attention away from worthless things ( whatever you put attention to we follow after direction) this scripture asks for help to focus on good it asked for help to have our life preserved by following God's word.

proverbs 4-25 let our eyes look straight ahead fix your gaze (intentionality) do not swerve to the right or left keep your foot from evil

as our attention goes so we go our future -make the decision to what to pay attention to

mathew 6-22 the eye is the lamp of the body ( where you focus the light on you follow after so what you focus on is the direction you will take the results you go after) if ---your eyes are good and pure your whole body will be light but if your eye is bad your life be the same ----so focus on good read and learn from God's word on how to focus and live

hebrews 2-1 focus on God's word so you don't drift away so focus attention on purpose

set tone for the day with positve affirmations expect good things expect God's favour

mathew 9-29 according to your faith be it done unto you have what you expect -Jesus's word -use faith to expect His favour

Psalms 30-5 God's favour is for a lifetime! :)

psalm 115 -14 the Lord your God will increase you and your family more

Jesus said He came to give us life to the full in abundance and overflowing life

proverbs 2918 if people can't see what God is doing they stumble

so get a vision of what I am entitled to from God's word and increase faith and receive favour

romans 5-17 they that received grace ar to live like kings

if you're going to get to the right destination we need a plan otherwise we drift if we don't have goals we lose focus

have goals and a mission statement write it habakuk says write the vision make it clear

desire is from the father a God given dream

follow up the desire with a plan scripture says faith without corresponding action is dead

people who have written plan succeed more

where do i want to be in 10 years in work relationship home finances ?

you need goals so big it takes God to bring them to pass and short range goals

plan what steps to achieve goals proverbs 16 9 in the heart a man plans his steps but God directs His steps

I am writing this blog because finding our purpose and what God called us to do is relevant.I found this information and thought since it had some good advice and guidance with a couple of psalms to check out for encouragement I thought I would post.
