First Sunday Meditation: Praise The Lord, O My Soul!




"And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, (the face of God), 
saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is
 spared and not snatched away."
Genesis 32:30

PSALM 146

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!

While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in
whom there is no help.

When his breath leaves him, he returns to his earth;
in that very day his previous thoughts, plans, and purposes perish.

Happy, blessed, fortunate, enviable is he who has the God of
special revelation to Jacob for his help, whose hope is
in the Lord his God.

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
Who keeps truth and is faithful forever.

Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to
the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners,

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord lifts up those
who are bowed down, the Lord loves the uncompromisingly
righteous, those upright in heart and in right standing with Him.



"Then He laid His hands on her, and instantly she was made straight
and she recognized and thanked and praised God." 
(Luke 13:13)


The Lord protects and preserves the strangers and temporary
residents, He upholds the fatherless and the widow and sets them
upright, but the way of the wicked He makes crooked, turns
upside down and brings to ruin.

The Lord shall reign forever, even Your God, O Zion,
from generation to generation.
Praise the Lord!  Hallelujah!




"The seventh angel then blew his trumpet, and there
were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion
of the world has now come into the possession and become
the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, the Messiah,
and He shall reign forever and ever, for the 
eternities of the eternities!"
Revelation 11:15
