study..study..study.. last week of uni, and 1 week of swot vac before exams! Gonna do well this semester to glorify God's name!
Day 117.
Read Psalm18, and 144 as part of devotion. With Psalm 18 being repeated in 2 Samuel 22. A very nice psalm of David just praising God and saying who God is. What stood out to me was psalm 18:25-30.
25 With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
27 For You will save the humble people,
But will bring down haughty looks.
28 For You will light my lamp;
The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop,
By my God I can leap over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
The first part talks about us being rewarded for what we do, like sowing and reaping. I like how it is said that with the blameless, and the pure, God will show Himself blameless and pure as well. So how we see God will determine on our actions and what we do. It's like an aim to work towards, to be a merciful, blameless, and pure person, so that we will see God in that same way as well. Then i really liked v29, it says "By my God I can leap over a wall"!! Haha, i was pretty shocked when i first read it, never expected to see that appear in the Bible with the wordings like that. Im guessing that in that context the 'wall' is a form of obstacle that is blocking us from moving forward or going somewhere.. in the first part of the verse talks about running against a troop. So anyway, we all have walls in our lives, and right here int his verse it specifically tells us that with God we are able to leap over the wall, to overcome it, and to breakthrough it! Hmmm it might be just me, but that verse really struck me when i first read it.
Lastly, psalm 144:15
15 Happy are the people who are in such a state;
Happy are the people whose God is the LORD!

haha we are meant to be happy people! It is said so in the Bible as well! Happy are the people who are in such a state, means those who are blessed by God, which is all of us! And happy are the people whose God is the LORD! that is all of us who believe in Jesus as well! We're meant to be happy people! Not many Christians show that though.
We bow our knees,
At the feet of Your cross
We lay our lives,
To the will of our God
