Are you connected to the Lord God that made the heavens and the earth? Do you serve the same King and God that David spoke of in Psalm 145?

"I will bless You, my God, O King; and I will bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise your name forever and ever".

Even though David was a mighty warrior and king, he still sought after the Lord and established a special friendship with his King. He gave great truth to the reality of God's greatness and power.

"Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts and declare your greatness...All your works shall praise You, O Lord, and your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power" (Psalm 145:6, 10,11).

The world needs to know that it is possible to serve the one and only true God. You can know and love the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He has a Son named Jesus Christ. He died to save us from our sins. Have you received Him into your heart?  He is waiting for you.

A PRAYER OF SALVATION:

God, I believe that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and shed his blood for my sins. I believe God raised him from the dead. Lord Jesus, come into my heart, forgive me of my sins. I accept and receive you as my Lord and Savior. I confess you as my Lord. Thank you for saving me. God, fill me with Your Holy Spirit to give me the strength and power to live for You. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

When you take time to pray, does God give you something of Himself? Well, let us answer the question with scriptures from the Bible. "The Lord is close to all who call on Him, yes, to all who call on him in truth" (Psalm 145:13). For all Christian believers who serve the Lord with an upright heart, the Lord's presence comes when they seek Him in prayer.

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:12-13).

As you develop a life of daily prayer, you will find that the attributes and the character of God begin to form in your life. The Lord releases as much of Himself as you make room for.

1.  The Lord promises to be near to those who fear and reverence Him (Psalm 85:9).

2.  He comes to those who pray (Psalm 145:18).

3.  He is near to those who have a broken heart (Psalm 34:18).

4.  He comes to those who draw near to Him (James 4:8).

"...the Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous" (Proverbs 15:29).

God sent His Word - the written and Living Word to heal! "Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching, preaching the good news, and healing every weakness and infirmity among the people" (Matthew 4:23).

Psalm 107:20, "He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction." He is still unlimited, unchanging, and all powerful! God has not changed His mind about healing.  His thoughts and ideas for man is the same. "For I am the Lord, I do not change..." (Malachi 3:6). "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).

I love the truth about healing in Exodus 15:26. The Lord declares to His people that "He is the Lord that heals." This same message is given in Isaiah 53:4,5 and in 1 Peter 2:24.  Aren't we glad that God's truth is still enduring to all generations! This is expressed in Psalm 33:11, "The counsel of the Lord stands forever, and the plans of His heart to all generations."

God also states that the "authority of His word is settled and established in heaven and that His faithfulness endures to all generations" (Psalm 119:89,90). We should all give thanks that we can receive healing and help from the written and the Living Word! I am so grateful that I can have a part in sending forth the truth of the Lord. "I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations" (Psalm 89:1).
