Today’s Thought:
“There is nothing that God cannot accomplish.” — Cicero

Words to Understand:
Preserve: keep in good condition
Supplications: urgent requests

Today’s Reading:
Psalm 86
1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 ¶ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Devotion in Psalm 147

Nothing escapes His knowledge, and there is nothing He will not handle unless it is His will. We see much of what God has done throughout the Bible, especially in the Psalms. This chapter reminds the hymn singer of what He has done and does. God: Rebuilds up that which is broken. (Psalm 147:2, 3). Knows about everything in the universe He created and is in control of all He has made (Psalm 147:4, 5, 9, 15-18). “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” Psalm 147:4 Blesses whom He will and hinders those doing wrong (Psalm 147:6, 8, 11, 13, 20). We look around, and much of what we see and hear appears to be out of control, but it is not. God knows exactly what is going on, and He is in total control. We may not...

  HEAR the devotion at  http://www.devotionsfromthebible.com/dvblog/psalm/daily-devotion-of-psalm-148/ Daily Nugget: “Praise” is mentioned many times in the book of Psalms. Although the subject is mentioned in 64 chapters in the book and 132 times, it is most used in Psalm 148. “Praise” is mentioned eight times in this chapter. It is important to God that you praise Him. I learned a long time ago if you hear or read something from God, pay attention. If you hear it more than once, you better be doing what you are shown. If God says “praise” as many times as He has said it in this Psalm, you had better be giving it your undivided attention and make it a priority in your life. Praise God: For His mightiness and creation that is unseen by us, including His Heaven, angels, and the multitudes with Him (Psalm 148:1-2). For His incredible creation that is too vast for our eyes and imagination, including the sun, moon, stars, and things that are higher than th...
