Good  morning everyone.  Today I will be studying  psalms  46.  We  need  to  realize that  even  when  things  in our  lives  look  the  worst that God  has  already  taking control  of them and we  have victory  over  them.  God will  be there  for us  just as  he was  for David all we  have to  do  is asked  and He  will grant  our needs .  We may, in singing it, apply it either to our spiritual enemies, and be more than conquerors over them, or to the public enemies of Christ’s kingdom in the world and their threatening insults.

 He checks the rage and breaks the power of the nations that oppose him and his interests in the world.
God  will not  let  the nations  fo this  world  keep  mocking  Him and  getting away with it.  We  need to  remember  that He is  God and  will always  be God.  I thank him for  this and praise  his name  for all he has done for me.
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Galatians 6: 7-8 (KJV)

Pray:  Dear  Heavenly Father  I thank you for  your live and grace.  I thank  yor  for  my friends and family that  your  have giving me.  I pray  that you watch  over each of them and give  them  their needs today.  I pray for the  ones  that  are sick and  hurting both physically and mentally,  I asked  that you watch  0ver them  and heal them.  I praise  your  wonderful  and loving  name.  I pray  that  you will be  owth  our military and their families.  Help  me  to day to be a better  servant  for  you then  what I wan yesterday.  Lead  us  and  guide us in all that we do today.  we  want fail to give  the honor and  glory to  you because  it all is  your  in Jesus name I pray amen.

   James is at work and the  boys are up.  Terrie is still asleep right now.  I am fixing to take baby out for walk and then  read my Bible.
Went to  take  off the trash and then  went to  the  store. to pick  up a few things.  back  at  home  eating brunch and then  will clean house  up.

Applications:

1.  Our Lord is to be celebrated!  We are to clap our hands and even shout with the voice of joy to Him.  We are to sing praises to Him with a skillful psalm or song.  Are you in the habit of praising the Lord in this way?  What would hold you back from doing so?  The Scriptures tell us that even the trees clap their hands to Him.  Comment on the following Scriptures and be encouraged to praise our Lord with all of creation!

• Psalm 96:11-13 -11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
  

  12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

  13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
• Psalm 98:7-9 -7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
  

  8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

• Isaiah 55:12 -For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

  38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

  39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

  40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

2.  The Lord chose the nation of Israel to show Himself through and He chooses all of those in the body of Christ in the same way.  We should delight where the lines of our inheritance have fallen on earth but also rejoice in the inheritance that is to come for us in heaven!  Comment on the following Scriptures:
  We  should  alway  give  the honor an praise  to God for  everything  that  we  have and everything we do .  These verse are  tell us not  to worry abut  what we  have and what peoples  see us do  down here  but  to  lay  up  our treasures  on Heaven If  it was  not for God's  grace and mercy  we would be lost and have no hope  of life  with  him.

  21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
• Luke 14:12-14 -12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

  14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

  5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

3.  We looked at how God rules over our lives and all the nations in our lesson for Psalm 46, but since the Psalmist repeats in this Psalm about how God reigns over the nations, let's review some verses and look at some new ones about how our God reigns over all the nations of the earth.  Comment on the following Scriptures:
These verse  are  telling  us  that  as  we  already know  there is only one God and  He  rules  ove  all the  earth.

• 2 Chronicles 20:6 -And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
• Psalm 2:1-12 -2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
  

  2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

  3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

  4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

  5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

  6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

  7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

  8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

  9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

  10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

  11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

  12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
• Psalm 22:28 -28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
• Psalm 46:8-10 -8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
  

  9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

  10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
• Psalm 47:8 -8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
• Psalm 66:7 -7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
• Psalm 103:19 -19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
• Isaiah 40:23-24 -
• Isaiah 41:2 -23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
  

  24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
• Isaiah 46:11 -11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
• Jeremiah 32:17 -17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
• Daniel 2:21 -21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
• Zechariah 14:9 -9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
• Acts 17:26 -26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
