Psalms 128 is a Psalms of blessing. Verses 2-8 talk about the wonderful blessings that are provided by the Lord for His people. However there is one simple tweak/condition mentioned in verse 1, which is indeed the key to receive all those blessings.

The condition or the tweak is really simple but sadly not many of us actually do it. The Lord wants us to “Look up unto Him“.

That sounds too simple, right? But how many of us actually do it?

Our Lord doesn’t expect anything big of tricky from us. He just wants us, our people, to seek Him, to put our hope wholeheartedly on Him.

Moreover, without looking up unto Him we won’t be able to receive the blessings, since our Lord is the source of all the possible blessings we could think of.

Normally the natural thing we’d do at the time of crises is to run to other people for help. We seek the help of our worldly friends and neighbors. Rather, if we seek unto the Lord and Him alone, we can easily receive help from Him.

Let’s take the example of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:3). Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus. However he had an obstacle. No – no one else stopped him from seeing the Lord nor did anyone caused any trouble to him in his way to see the Lord.

He had this obstacle within him – he was too short to be able to see the Lord. But since he had that desire and longing to see the Lord, he himself overcame the desire and climbed up on a sycamore-fig tree.

He did his best to look up unto the Lord. Zacchaeus was not an ordinary man. He was a chief tax collector. He did not mind that the others would mock him if he climbed on a tree.

Once he did that, Jesus saw Zacchaeus, He called Him and gave Him salvation. If Zacchaeus did not take the effort to overcome the obstacle (that he is short) and if he had not climbed on the tree to look up on the Lord, the Lord would not have seen Zacchaues and he would not have received salvation.

As we read in Isaiah 31:1, it is highly important that we seek the Lord for help and that we do not rely on our worldly strengths, money or other kind of worldly help. The Lord also expects the same from us and even more, He is bit annoyed to know if we run to the others for help (may be that’s the Lord’s possessiveness on His people?!).

As we read in Psalms 26:1, if we trust in the Lord we will not be faltered.

Let us put our trust, hope and faith on our Lord wholeheartedly so that we may receive His abundant help and blessings in our lives.

2 Chronicles 17: 12

Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful. He built forts and cities to keep his stores in large supplies in the towns of Judah. His forces also contained experienced and skillful men.

Jehoshaphat has grown a lot. How was he able to grow to that level? What are the reasons behind his enormous growth? Let’s analyze the reasons.

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat

In verse 3, we read that the Lord was with Jehoshaphat. If the Lord is with us, there is no doubt that a person will grow and be blessed.

On the other hand, if the Lord is not with us, all our plans and labor will be in vain. As it is said in Psalms 127 verse 1, the Lord has to be with us and the Lord has to build the house Himself and bless us. If not, all our labor will be in vain.

We must carefully see that the Lord is with us in everything we do in our lives. We may be distracted and fooled by the Satan – he might suggest various “short cut” ways for us to be blessed. But we must be very careful to ignore the short cuts and keep our faith in the Lord.

A good example of this is Jacob who always wanted to be blessed and acquire wealth and blessings by deceiving his brother and father. But he was not able to enjoy the blessings he acquired by deceiving others. He left his native with only the staff and not with all the possessions he acquired by cheating others.

During his journey, Jacob prays and makes a vow that if the Lord will be with him and watch over him in his journey, the Lord will be his God and that he will give a tenth of all his earnings as offering to the Lord (Genesis 28: 20-22). Jacob now wants the Lord to be with him since he realized that the Lord wasn’t with him earlier! He also realizes that true blessing and growth is possible only if the Lord is with him.

In Genesis 39: 2, 3 we read the the Lord was with Joseph and he prospered. He succeeded in whatever he did. Even though he was in Egypt, he found favor in the eyes of Potiphar – he was also put in charge of his household and Potiphar entrusted to his care on everything he owned.

We read the example of Nehemiah in the book of Nehemiah 2: 8 where he received favor in the eyes of the King and got whatever he asked for.

Jehoshaphat did not seek Baal and he sought the Lord

We should not seek the Lord as we please but should seek Him as He has instructed us. If we fail to do so, we will not be able to grow. And not just that we will be punished as well.

In 2 Samuel 6: 1-8 we read the story of Uzzah who died when he reached out his hand to take hold of the ark of the Lord. Even though Uzzah wanted to prevent the ark from falling, it is not what the Lord expects.

In fact, the Lord wants the ark to be bought by Lord’s men and not on a bullock cart. Since David and others did not seek the Lord as He instructed us, their whole journey was not blessed.

We should not seek the Lord as well as worship the idols. We should not seek the Lord and as well seek black magic.

Jehoshaphat followed the commands of the Lord

Jehoshaphat gave importance to Lord’s commands and principles and he followed them religiously. He totally neglected the ways of Israelites and only followed the principles that the Lord had given him.

Even though we live in the world where there are so many evil ways, we must be determined to ignore all those worldly principles and only follow the words of the Lord.

In Psalms 86: 13, if we walk in the ways of the Lord we will have an undivided heart. Our thoughts will not wander all over the place and over all the short cuts but we will be focused on our progress in the ways of the Lord – and this will guarantee us growth (as blessed by the Lord).

In Revelation 22: 14, we read that we will have the right to the trees of life only if we follow His principles and lead a clean life while we’re in this world.

To recap, Jehoshaphat let the Lord be with him in whatever he did. He avoided seeking the Baals and he sought only the Lord. He followed the principles of the Lord and walked in His ways.

And he was blessed and he grew enormously!

The Lord is my Shepherd, says David. But are we having the Lord as our shepherd? Do we really do that? This is very important.

Do we analyze this and check if we have the Lord as our shepherd?

In Exodus 33: 14, the Lord replies to the Israelites saying that “My presence will go before thee”. But we must allow the Lord to lead us. In Psalms 23, we read that David says that he does not “want” since the Lord is his shepherd. So if we have the Lord as our shepherd and if we have Him lead us, then our path will go straight.

But why should we “wait” for the Lord? It is because the Lord has His own timing. Our perception of time is not the same as His perception. The Lord knows what is the right time for us.

Psalms 116: 7 we read that our soul can rest only when the Lord has been good to us. If we do not let the Lord to be good to us and if we choose our own paths then we cannot expect our souls to be in rest and in peace. Anxiety will only be the end result if we don’t let the Lord act for us.

Isaiah 30: 15 – It is also quit important that we repent and stay in peace. Even though we have been saved and even though we are believers of the Lord, we need to repent quite often in order to stay in peace. The parable of the younger son is a nice example – until he repented he did not have peace in his life.

Matt. 11: 29 – If we have to stay in peace we have to take his yoke upon us. His yoke is nothing but His Will and God’s Will is different for different people. In Colossians 1: 9 we read that we must be filled with the knowledge of the Will of the Lord.

In every action we do, we must analyze if this is the Will of the Lord and if the Lord will be pleased by this act of ours.

In Hebrews 4:3, we see that unless we have the faith in the Lord and unless we believe in the Lord, we will not have peace.

Psalms 102 – 24, 25 – The Lord’s man who wrote this Psalm pleads to the Lord asking Him not to take his life in the midst of the days. While we are all still alive we need to praise the Lord, and worship Him. It is because we do not know when our lives will come to an end. Our life in this world can end in two ways – when we die, or when the Lord comes down during His second coming.

So it is very important that we understand what God’s Will is about us. It is important that we realize the Will of the Lord and that we complete His Will during our lives in this world.

We always pray to the Lord if we need something worldly. But we need to pray in order to ask to the Lord to reveal His Will for us. This kind of prayer will please the Lord.

Deut. 33: 27 – We can much easily fulfill the Will of the Lord by having the eternal God as our refuge and we have to take firm shelter under His everlasting arms. If we believe and trust in other people (say, friends or relatives) we will only fulfill their Will and listen to their advices. But the Lord wants us to give Him the full control and hence fulfill His Will.

Ruth 2: 12 – Since Ruth went under the wings of the Lord to take refuge, the Boas says that the Lord will repay for what she has done. The very “act” of Ruth that she left her father and mother and her homeland – the key here is to “leave” what has to be left.

We have to leave those things that are not pleasing in the eyes of the Lord. In Psalms 91: 5-8 we read the blessings received by those who take shelter under the wings of the Lord.

Psalms 36: 7 – It doesn’t matter if we are rich or poor, it is important that we need to take refuge under the wings of the Lord.

In Malachi 4: 2 we read that there is healing under the wings of the Lord. In Romans 13: 13 we read that we have to behave decently, not in orgies or drunken parties – even if we worship the Lord we have to do it decently. That’s what shows that we are under the wings of the Lord and that’s what shows that we’ve left our worldly desires and behaviors.

In Ruth 1: 11 we see that Ruth was given a chance to go back and join her men; but she chose the Lord’s path. Under the shadow of Lord’s wings, there is help and there is joy (Psalms 63: 7).

In Psalms 57: 1 we read that we should take refuge in the shadow of His wings until the disaster passes. It does not mean that we won’t face disasters. We will face disasters just like every other person in the world – but the Lord will protect us and will safely take us to the destination.

In Deut. 33: 27, 28 we read that Israel will live in safety alone. Israel’s own strength was taken away by the Lord and Israel is the group of Lord’s people who came under the Lord’s wings for shelter. The Lord says that Israel will live in safety “alone” – only when Israel lived the life of separation. Israel did not mingle with worldly and ungodly people.

We also read that the spring of Jacob is secure, and there’s new wine and the heavens drop dew (blessing). Israel is indeed blessed!

In Matthew 18: 10, The Lord tells us not to look down on those little ones. The Lord does not tell this as an advice or a suggestion but he warns us with us.

If we are superior to the others in terms of money, beauty, wealth, health, status etc. it is a blessing from the Lord. For instance if we are doing a particular work that earns us good money, it is given by the Lord. We cannot consider ourselves superior just because we earn more than someone who earns very less – it is the Lord who has given us a five figure business to one person and has kept another person in a poorly earning job.

It is His Will and we cannot question Him on that. Neither can we boast about our position.

If we look down the others then we look down at the Lord because the Lord is the one who has kept everyone in the status where they are!

In Romans 12: 3, the Lord tells us not to think ourselves more highly than we ought. As an example, we read in Genesis 29: 31 Leah was not loved and was looked down by Rachel.

We also read in Philippians 2:3 that we should consider others better than ourselves. In 2 Corinthians 12: 1 Paul points out that he must not go on boasting. In 1 Corinthians 5:6 we read that boasting is not good; which means that it is essentially evil.

In Isaiah 14: 12 – 15 we read the example of the fallen angel who had the thought of ascending to heaven and to sit enthroned on the mount of assembly; if we notice carefully, the fallen angel did not even utter this plan with his words nor did he share this with anyone. The mere boasting thought in his mind resulted in him being brought down to the grave.

To boast is a sin. As we read in 1 Corinthians 5: 6, a little yeast will spoil the whole batch of dough. In Genesis 29: 16, 17 we read that the younger daughter Rachel was lovely and beautiful while Leah had weak eyes. Now since Rachel looked down upon Leah, the Lord saw that and the Lord closed down the path to blessing in the life of Rachel, while Leah was blessed. Rachel also died half way in the journey; she did not reach the destination unlike Leah.

By looking down on someone we actually provoke the Lord to bless that someone at the same time ruining our chances of blessing and our relationship with the Lord.

In 1 Samuel 16: 10, 11, we read that David, the last son of Jesse was not even present (not invited) for the sacrifice ceremony arranged by Samuel. Jesse and his sons were invited for the feast but Jesse did not bring along David.

He was looking after the sheep in the fields. When Samuel looked at Jesse’s sons, the Lord told him not to consider the appearance or the height while choosing the one to anoint as King.

sIn fact, all the other sons of Jesse were fit and some of them were serving in the King’s army which means, they were totally fit and physically strong. While David was looked down and was neglected by his whole family, the Lord chose him!

Each and every one of us have angels to serve us and to represent us in the heaven (Matt. 18: 10) ! If we look down upon someone, their angels will report this to the Lord. And the Lord will take this very seriously and that’s why he warns us.

Luke 18: 9 – the pharisee looked down upon the tax collector. He carried spiritual pride. But God listened to the prayer of the tax collector whom was looked down by the pharisee.

In all these examples we see that Lord accepts, approves and blesses those who were looked down upon by the others. 2 Corinthians 10: 12 – Those who carry pride measure themselves by themselves. The Lord says that they are not wise.

In Revelation 3: 17, we see the example of the church of Laodicea. The people of the church think that they’re rich, wealthy and that they do not need anything else from the others. However the truth is that they’re wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked!

In 1 Corinthians 1: 27, 28, we see that the Lord always chooses the foolish things, weak things, despised things and things that are looked down.

What do you think?

Matthew 1:1 – The core focus of Gospel is Jesus Christ. However, the gospel starts with the name of Abraham. Even though the gospel is about Jesus Christ, things start with Abraham. Abraham is given so much importance by the Lord.

In Luke 16:22 also we encounter Abraham’s name. When the beggar died, the angels carried him to Abraham’s side – which is a place in Paradise. A place is named by Abraham. God also calls Himself as the God of Abraham in many places throughout the Bible.

Even in the future, in the heaven, we will feast with Abraham in the heaven (according to Matthew 8:11).

In Genesis 12: 2 God blesses Abraham by saying that He will make his name great. Abraham’s name was not only great only for a few years when he lived but long after and also will be in the future.

So what in Abraham’s life pleased the Lord? Abraham believed in the Lord and worshiped Him during the days when there was no Bible and no written principles of the Lord. Ironically, Abraham was in a family that produced idols, sold them and were making their living.

However, God did not simply bless Abraham just because he was worshiping Him from a gentile family. God still expected more from him.

If we analyze the aspects in Abraham’s life that were so pleasing to the Lord, then we can implement those in our lives too.

Let’s dive in:

Genesis 12: 1 – God wanted Abraham to lead a life of separation

As it is said in Genesis 1:4, when God saw that light was good He separated the light from the darkness. It is God’s wish that His people do not mingle with the gentiles and ungodly people and lead a life of separation.

And Abraham did exactly as the Lord told Him (in verse 4). We also read this (in a more emphasized manner) in Hebrews 11: 8. Abraham obeyed the Lord and left according to His command even though he did not know where he was going.

We read in the gospel of John 6: 66, Jesus’ disciples turned back and stopped following Him when they learned that His teaching was hard. But Abraham did not perceive what God said (to leave his father’s household) as a hard thing.

For those who focus of the Lord, His second coming and the afterlife there is nothing as hard teaching.

Psalms 45: 10, 11 – If you want the King (Jesus) to be enthralled in our beauty (our worship, our holiness and our praise) we have to forget our people and our father’s house – not literally, but we should forget where we begun (the gentile principles that we followed before coming to the Lord).

We also read in Genesis 31: 3, where God calls upon Jacob to move from his father-in-laws place to the land of his fathers. And Jacob did so as we read in verse 16-18, even though the situation at his father’s house was not so favorable (Esau was looking to kill Jacob). And so did Rachel and Leah.

In Ruth 2: 3, we read that the land where Ruth went to collect the leftover grain belonged to Boaz. Ruth went to that land not to work but only to collect the leftovers. But she found great favor in the eyes of Boaz. In Verse 1: 11, Ruth asked Boaz why he favored her.

And Boaz replies that he knows that she “left” her father, mother and her homeland and came to live with a people that she did no know before. The key is to “leave” and “be separated”.

We live in the flesh but we should not live and fight by flush and blood. It is because we live in this world which is (now) under the control and reign of Satan.

For instance, let’s consider Job’s case, when Satan demanded that Lord should lay His hands on Job and touch everything that he owns.

But then the Lord says that everything Job has is in Satan’s hands. He did not lay His hands on Job but he revealed the truth that the world and its belongings are under Satan’s control.

When Satan demanded again that Job’s flesh and bone be touched by the Lord, He again responded that Job is under Satan’s reign but he should not touch his life.

However, to overcome all the loses and all the sufferings Job had faced cannot be done by the flesh. We have to fight the evil in and according to the Spirit.

The weapons we use to fight the evil are not the weapons of the world but they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Let’s take another example of a war which was fought by the Spirit of the Lord. Judges 7: 7-12. The Midianites (worldly relations), the Amalekites (flesh and blood) and the eastern people (worldly knowledge) settled in the valley thick as locusts.

If we are God’s people, we always have to face these kinda wars – that’s normal. Now Gideon has to fight, but he did not fight according to his wish. He did not use worldly weapons to face those opponents. Let’s see how he overcame them.

Judges 7:16 – Gideon used the trumpets. Trumpet denotes our alertness and our preparation for the second coming of Jesus.

If we are prepared and if we are readily expecting His coming, we will live according to God’s principles and will preserve ourselves pure so as to fly with the Lord during His coming. If we expect God’s second coming, we will surely fight and overcome worldly sins and other temptations.

According to Philippians 3: 20,21, our citizenship is in heaven. If so, we have to be prepared to be able to live in the heaven. We should eagerly await His coming. In Titus 2: 13, we read that we have to be waiting for His glorious appearing.

In this context, in verse 11, we read that the salvation we have got and His grace teaches us that we should say “No” to ungodly and worldly passions. We therefore have to live a self-controlled, upright and godly life.

As we read in Luke 21:36, we have to be on the watch and pray always so that we will be able to stand before the Lord while he comes again. 1 Thessalonians 3: 11 – We have to preserve ourselves blameless and holy so that we can meet Him and fly with Him. We have to pray, and preserve our Spirit, Soul and our body pure and blameless.

Judges 7:16 – Gideon used empty pots. Empty pot denotes that we completely empty our heart, dismiss our own will and wishes and let God fill us with His wish and will in our lives.

2 Kings 4:3, 4 – God blessed the wife of a man from the company of prophets using empty jars. When the oil was poured into empty jars the oil was flowing continuously until all the jars were filled.

Colossians 1:9 – We have to pray and ask God to fill is with His knowledge of His will.

Judges 7:16 – Gideon placed torches inside the empty pots – Once we empty our minds we must fill it with the Word of God (Psalms 119: 105). It is important that the pot should be empty so that the torch can burn and give light inside it.

We must not only read and hear the verse of the Lord but we have to live by His principles and commandments. If so, we can easily overcome worldly passions and win the battle with Satan (with the Word of God, as Jesus did).

2 Peter 1:19 – The word of God acts as a light that shines in the darkness. The Word of God lights our path. As we read in Philippians 2: 14, we have to hold  on to the Word of God so that we can shine like stars in the universe (as a good model to the others).

Also according to Deuteronomy 11: 19 – 21, we have to teach the Word of God to our children and talk to our children all the time (as we sit and walk) about the Word of God. We have to have the verses of God as frames at the door of our houses and at our gates.

If we live so, we can overcome and drive all the nations that come against us. Hence we can also overcome Satan and his cunning plans that haunt us.

David talks about “evil” in verse 3 of Psalms 28. While we hear the word “evil” or “sin” we usually think big. We think of theft, robbery, murder, etc. as sin or evil. While these are all evil, there are small, yet very evil things, that we usually neglect.

In verse 3, David says that if we praise our brothers and speak cordially with neighbours, but lodge malice in our hearts against them, then we are evil.

Most often, we do not consider this aspect as being evil.

Psalms 36:1, 3 – If we cease to do good and be wise with our words, then we are sinners. We shall not speak anything and everything that we may think of.

Our tongue can be a great source of sin to us; we may not realize that this is a “big” sin. On the judgment day, we will have to be accountable for all the words we speak.

Proverbs 12: 5 – We should be righteous with all the advice we provide to our brothers and the discussions we make with our fellow believers. We should eliminate all wicked and deceitful advice.

Jeremiah 5: 27 – If we are full of deceitful thoughts, then we are definitely sinners in the eyes of God.

In verse 4 of Psalms 28, David highlights that we should not only be pure in our words, but also in our deeds. There should be no evil in our deeds.

Another important aspect of a sinner is that he/she neglects Lord’s works and all the miracles He did. We should always regard and remember every small and big deed that our Lord did for us. If we do not regard this, we are sinners.

We shall not receive any goodness in our lives apart from the ones that originate from our dear Lord.

As said in verse 7, we have to regard our Lord as our strength. We have to trust Him whole-heartedly and seek help only from Him. And we should never ever forget all the goodness we received from our Lord.

We shall be rejoicing, happy and we shall praise the Lord always because of the goodness we receive from Him. This will happen only if we put all our trust on the Lord.

Lord acts as a fortress for His people – for those people who He has anointed (verse 8).

According to Psalms 133: 1-3 – “There” the Lord bestows His blessing and life evermore! Not only the blessing but we acquire eternal life in His presence. If there should be a blessing and eternal life, precious oil should be poured (generously) on our head.

The oil is pure, and it is not available anywhere in this material world. How should we prepare this holy oil?

What are the ingredients of the sacred anointing oil? How should it be prepared?

According to Exodus 30:22-25, there are 5 ingredients.

Liquid Myrrh

500 shekels – liquid myrrh was used for two purposes. When a new baby is born and when there is a funeral at a house, people used to carry liquid myrrh.

Liquid myrrh denotes death of evil. Our sins, our evil deeds, our worldly desires should die so that we acquire the sacred anointing oil. As said in 1 Peter 4: 3, we have to abolish lust, drunkenness, orgies and other worldly sins.

In the Old Testament, a goat or a cow was sacrificed for the sins of people. The animal was slaughtered so that people become free of their sins. But there are certain procedures for this sacrifice.

For instance, read Leviticus 4: 1-12. We are the sheep in the New Testament. We have to offer ourselves to be killed, beheaded in spiritual sense so that we do not put our desires on worldly stuff.

The blood (life) should be poured in the altar. We should be skinned (in spiritual sense) so that our differences and pride disappear.

The fat (pride) should be burnt. The intestine (the desire for food) should be burnt. We should not take our desire for food lightly since this can be a great hindrance to our spiritual growth.

The liver denotes all the bitterness (misunderstanding with our fellow believers) which should be removed completely. The fat that covers the liver should also be burned so that we do not put all the burden on ourselves.

Kidneys denote the bad characteristics that are passed on to our generation. In order to avoid this from happening we need to burn the kidneys (in spiritual sense) completely. The thigh (our own strength) should be eliminated.

We should not rely on our own strength but rather we should believe completely in the Lord. The tail denotes our mischievousness we do that are not supposed to do as Lord’s people. And the offal denotes all the waste from our flesh; we do not usually look back at our excretion – this means that we should not look back at the sins that we once left.

Fragrant Cinnamon

This is used to eliminate bad breadth. We should keep our mouth and tongue clean, in spiritual sense. The words we speak should not produce strife. As we read in Psalms 19:14, the words of our mouth should be pleasing in the sight of the Lord.

Fragrant Cane

It is very flexible. We should be flexible, adjusting and adapting and be in good fellowship with others. As Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5: 38-45, we have to be very adjusting. We should not only love our neighbor but also love our enemies.

Cassia

This gives enormous fragrance to the sacred anointing oil. This denotes that our life be good witness before the others. We should not just talk the talk but walk the walk.

Our life should be in such a manner that others praise our God by seeing our good deeds. 2 Corinthians 2: 15 – we should be a good aroma to our Lord as well so that He is pleased. As we read in Luke 4: 22, Jesus lived as a model to this very aspect.

Everyone spoke well of Jesus they were amazed at the gracious words that came from His mouth. 1 Timothy 6: 11,12 – The people from the world, our fellow believers and others should make good confession about us!

Olive Oil

This denotes Holy Spirit. Olive oil stays as the basic element that helps combining all the other ingredients to make the sacred anointing oil. If we are anointed by the Holy Spirit and if we lead our life according to His guidance, we shall conquer in the worldly battle.

According to Psalms 150, we should praise Him where His presence is. For instance, in the Church. When we gather in the Church, we have to praise the Lord with all our heart. We have to praise Him in the form of praises, worship, songs etc. in the Church.

Even though we do not know to sing or to worship, we have to join the fellow believers in the Church to sing and worship Him.

In addition, God’s reveals His presence where two or three persons gather to praise Him.

Psalms 59:16 – The more we praise and sing the Lord we will receive His blessings. We have to think about the blessings He has given us; we have to praise the Lord early in the morning.

We have to realize all the small and big blessings He has given us in our lives. We have to think about His generosity and graciousness. We will then automatically praise Him from the bottom of our heart.

The Lord is Majestic – so let’s praise Him

Psalms 96:6 – Splendor and majesty are before the Lord, in the heaven. Strength and glory are in His sanctuary. We have to think about his splendor and glory; we have to praise Him for the same. His glory and strength has saved us a lot of times in the past from many evil.

Psalms 65:6 – God has armed Himself with His strength and He has formed the mountains by His power. If he refuses to strengthen us with His strength for a moment, we will be in disaster; for instance, the mountains that are formed by His strength could deform.

Psalms 65: 7-9 – Lord’s splendor stills the roaring of the seas and their waves. Those who live far away also do fear His wonders. Lord cares for our Lands and waters them.

We have to think about his majesty and we have to meditate on His wonderful works – Psalms 145:3

Rev.15: 3 – His deeds are are great and marvelous.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Psalms 150:6 – We have to praise the Lord simply because we live and breathe. If we breathe and still not praise the Lord, that means that we are not thankful to the Lord for the very fact that we are alive.
