Rejoice in the Lord, You Who Are Righteous!

Troubled times are upon us. Evil has come in like a flood. Fear rules the land and the world. Countless thousands of believers are losing their lives. Persecution is coming to the West. What do we do? We are to look to Jesus the Messiah who is coming. All of his plans will be fulfilled and the wicked will be destroyed from the earth. Psalm 33 will bless and encourage those who trust in the Lord.

If you do not trust in the Lord, surrender yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ who paid the price for sin so that humans can be forgiven and receive a new spirit from God. Those who do, never die. Those who do not, never live except for a vapor. Then, as a result of their rebellion, they will be cast into the lake of fire forever. God is not going to allow sin to continue to exist. Come to Jesus while there is time. Please. He delights in forgiving and He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

Psalm 33
1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
