Protect Your Praise. Part [8] 05/08/2025 (Evening thought)

Psalms 121:5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Instruction [3] Wherever possible, sing and play the songs of Zion that will lift your spirit heavenward. It is especially important for musicians and singers to pay attention to this particular instruction. The right type of music would deeply affect for the better, the one who is musically inclined, even if the songs of Zion are played to his / her unconscious mind. The voicings and melodies that soothe will help the mind in thinking along positive lines, and this often paves the way for desired outcomes.

Psalms 149: 5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand. Psalms 150: Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.  6 Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

Instruction [4] Live in harmony with whatsoever you know to be right. A clear conscience before God and man is critically important to dealing with adversity, for wherever this is the case, the one who is facing trial will have the confidence and assurance to plead with God. This particular instruction proved very valuable to Job, as he battled the forces of darkness during his time of testing.

Job 23: 10 But he knows the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
