The Greatness of our God…

The Lord our God is a great God!

Who is like our God, except for those he has called his own?

Who can challenge the God I know as my god?

From the beginning of time, all through the generations, he alone has defended his position as our Lord, the creator of heaven and earth, and all that are in them. With his eternal wisdom, the Lord has made seasons for sawing and harvesting, but all time for praising and worshiping him. He made seasons for different types of fruits and cereals, yet his protection, provision and love in our lives is always their.

Our God challenges all natural wisdom and knowledge when he defends us from enemies we don’t see. For generations man has invented many things, but even the wises and most knowledgeable of men, even the most honored, the richest, the most powerful, except for stubbornness and disobedience; all of them acknowledge the presence of a powerful God.

The powerful God is on my side; the mighty God is on the side of those that love him through doing what is right and pleasant to him. He will defend those who stand for what he says, and for the proud, he will pour great fear on their death beds.

The Lord’s love, provision and protection are always their; his mercies have no season, but a time will come when he will reward the obedient and punish the disobedient.

The Lord our god is the creator of everything beneath, on and above the earth, yes, he owns them all and no other can claim them from this influence; yet his greatest desire and pleasure is to see men and women worship him in spirit and truth. As for me and my house, we will give the Lord our God what he desires most from people, we will give him his greatest pleasure.

Praises to The Lord…

Praise be to the Lord our God forever.


Praises be to the God of all that live on the mountains and hills, in the valleys and the islands.
You O Lord are so good; you’ve blessed the people that live in the deserts with enough cereals (seeds) and fruits!


I will praise you for your goodness; in the isolated places I will talk good about you; yes, with my mouth I will confess the wonderful things you have done for me; I will thank you with my praises and tell you how much I love you.


You, my God are a good God; a God of the near and far future, even the God who has been in the many past generations.


Who can tell the depth of your wisdom and knowledge? Who can challenge you about past events; are you not the only true and holy witness we have about what was? Who can fully understand and describe your plans for man kind?


Every time I think about your good plans for mankind, I see how deep your love for us is, though its bottom I can see. And, every time I try to understand your plans for mankind, my mind can’t go far enough, but I always discover how you love us so much.


You, O Lord are very merciful, very merciful to mankind.
You look at what the evil men do and you spare them because of their descendants who still rest in their bones. You spared our evil and pagan ancestors because you saw true worshippers in their linage after several generations.


With our sins we offend you today knowing and unknowingly, and even without remembering to repent before your anger can fall upon us, you forgive us because you know that tomorrow we’ll love, praise and worship you with a true mind and spirit.


You forgive us in the das of our youth, when the desires of our youthful days cause us to sin, because you know that in our old days it’s you that we’ll serve; worship and teach to our children and grandchildren. Praise the Lord.

The Lord God, The Creator of Man…

How I wish all men knew how wonderful the Lord our God is!
How I wish they would understand how much he loves us; even how much he cares about us!

Everything the Lord our God has done is good; they are all beautiful that he has created.
The Lord has given us hunger in our body that we will taste the sweetness of what he has created for us as food.

The Lord has given us many desires that we will continuously adore his creation, and praise him for what he has created; that we will appreciate his creation and find satisfaction and wholeness in it.

He has deepened the desires of the hearts of men that they may see and appreciate the taste and art of his creation.

Who then, is like the Lord our creator?
The Lord has given us thirst that we will taste water; whose taste we can’t fully describe; whose color we can’t tell, yet its satisfaction is so relieving!

Such things like water; the things I can see, feel and taste, yet I can’t fully describe make me get down on my knees, bow my head to the ground and worship you my Lord and creator.
You, our God are very caring; you’ve placed your blessings and provisions in every road in which we walk. You created some men among us with the hearts of angels that they will bless us with the things we need most in our desperate times.

You’ve created men who speak words that can put together a broken spirit and heal a broken heart.

Because you love us so much, you know our silent needs, and you’ll provide even before we are certain: look how we see and breathe even when we’ve forgotten that we do. You’ll teach us responsibility before we discover; you’ll prepare us for the long journeys of life before we can ever think we’ll have them. You go behind us, before us, besides us and above us every where we go, at all times and you never give up. How I wish we fully understood your love for us, or get the right words to worship and praise you with thanksgiving.

The Death Of Saul… The Rise of King DAVID…

2 Samuel 1: ...27

{1:1} Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;

{1:2} It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and [so] it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.

{1:3} And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

{1:4} And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

{1:5} And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?

{1:6} And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

{1:7} And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here [am] I.

{1:8} And he said unto me, Who [art] thou? And I answered him, I [am] an Amalekite.

{1:9} And he said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life [is] yet whole in me.

{1:10} So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that [was] upon his head, and the bracelet that [was] on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.

{1:11} Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that [were] with him:

{1:12} And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

{1:13} And David said unto the young man that told him,
Whence [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

{1:14} And David said unto him,
How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to
destroy the LORD’S anointed?

{1:15} And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, [and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

{1:16} And David said unto him, Thy blood [be] upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’S anointed.

{1:17} And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:

{1:18} (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah [the use of] the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

{1:19} The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!

{1:20} Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

{1:21} Ye mountains of Gilboa, [let there be] no dew, neither [let there be] rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, [as though he had] not [been] anointed with oil.

{1:22}
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

{1:23} Saul and Jonathan [were] lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

{1:24} Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with [other] delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

{1:25} How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, [thou
wast] slain in thine high places.

{1:26} I am distressed for
thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

{1:27} How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
