THE MIGHT AND PRESENCE OF GOD - 8th October 2024
Let us ask GOD for His truth on these weather patterns.
This morning coming out from sleep a number came 1889 and I knew in my spirit that this was Psalm 18 verses 8-9.
7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook ; they trembled because He was angry.
8 Smoke rose from His nostrils ; consuming fire came from His mouth, burning coals blazed out of it. 9 He parted the heavens and came down ; dark clouds were under His feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew ; He soared on the wings of the wind. 11 He made darkness His covering, His canopy around Him, the dark rain clouds of the sky. 12 Out of the brightness of His Presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning. 13 The LORD thundered from heaven ; the voice of the Most High resounded. 14 He shot arrows and SCATTERED the enemies, great bolts of lightning and routed them. 15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast from Your nostrils.
CONTEXT - GOD was angry at the pagan idol worship which was deeply rooted in the land. David was defenseless against His enemy and 16 GOD reached down on high and took hold of me, He drew me out of deep waters. 17 He rescued me from my powerful ENEMY, from my foes who were too strong for me. 18 They confronted me in my day of disaster BUT the LORD was my support.
26 You O LORD keep my lamp burning ; my GOD turns my darkness into light, 27 With YOUR HELP I can advance against a troop, with my GOD I can scale a wall,
The central theme throughout these verses is the might and power in the PRESENCE OF GOD towards His faithful ones and wrath against those who choose rebel against keeping in the ways of the LORD and do evil by turning away from Him (v21) to carry out their own wilful purpose against GOD's will.
In our sincere hearts of love
