ps 89 -god's word to me as my family purchase a house

dear god
thank you for speaking to me this morning yet again.

ps 89

v9
you rule over the surging sea when its wave mount up, you still them

the lord tells me that though times may be tough right now, He is lord over the troubles and he watches over us.

v13
your arm is endued with power your hand is strong and your right hand exalted.

many times during recent weeks, god has been speaking to me about his strong hand - that he will strengthen according to his might. today he speaks of that again. thank you god.

v15
blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you who walk in the light of your presence

god tells me the key to blessedness - praise god and abide in him in all circumstances.

v17
for your are their glory and strength and by your favour you exalt our horn.

this is the promise that god gives me this morning as i seek him regarding the purchase of the new house. God says that He will be the Glory and Strength in our lives and by his grace and favour, he will exalt my family to high places we have not thought of.

our horn - in the past, the horn is used in battle to sound the beginning of the battle. i think exalt the horn means to win the battle. in today's context i think exalt our horn means to help us win the battle we are engaged in.

v18
indeed our shield belongs to the lord our king to the holy one of israel.

god once again reminds me that our shield is not in our abilities or talents, but it is simply the Name and GRace and Favour of the Lord.

amenl.

God 's promise to david holds true also to me:

v 19

i have bestowed strength on a warrior, i have a exalted a yojng man /woman from among the people.

my hand will sustain Rachael, surely my arm will strengthen her

no enemy will subject her to tribute ( in this case it may refer to the clutches of financial slavery) no wicked man will oppress her ( she will live a life of freedom - including freedom from satan and the evils of money)

my faithful love will be with rachael

and through my name her horn will be exalted ( promise is repeated)

i will set her hand over the sea his right hand over the rivers

she will call out to me 'you are my father my god rock and saviour

thank you lord for your word to me.

i claim it and keep it in my heart as i continue to journed down a new chapter with you.

not by man's strength but by your power.

hold my hand step by step of the way.

jesus i need you . you are my all in all in my life.

not my job nor my husaband -- but you lord will bring your promise to pass cos of your faithfulness.

forgive me fo my sins. thank you for your grace.

amen.

i love you jesus

forever yours in your arms and heart
your apple of your eyes
Rachael lamb lamb
~~ i want to follow you always.

hugs and kisses for you my lover of my soul, my all in all.
