Mark 9:42 - And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Amen and Amen. Though, I understand that in the Millenium period, Jesus Christ will rule, but in the New Jerusalem, prepared and coming down from Heaven, God will reign with His people: "Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God". ( Rev 21:3).
A cry out to the Lord for help to lead us in the right path and save us from the wicked and ungodly people who come against us every day every hour of the day. Ephesians 6:11 says We need to put on the whole armour of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil...Give praise to the Lord for deliverance from the wicked! Psalms 1:6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous
The morning is an excellent time to begin your spiritual routine. We are more refreshed in the mornings, and distractions are generally few. Regularly praying and reading the Bible in the morning, can help us through the day. Everyone's schedule is different Personally, the morning is the best time for me . Find a good time for you where you can draw close to God. You will see benefits.
That's what Satan Done in The Garden, Twisted The Words of The Lord Saying: Yea, Hath God Said---( Genesis 3:1) Before is Not to be Taken Lightly. For if You are Not Covered by The Blood of The Lamb Before There is After, The Answer Only Can Be ( Revelation 20:15)
I Am that Michael Isaac Dale on Psalms 5 - 5 years ago
Now, if it yet be Christ that is coming again or Christ that will return, then you are saying you are before the coming again or before the return of Christ. Thus, you condemn yourself as being a thief and robber. As it is written, All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. (The wicked fall by their own counsels and do show themselves as antichrists.)
Christ Leaves this World and Goes to The Father(John16:28)Jesus Will Come Back in like Manner as You Seen Him Go(Acts1:11) Behold I See Heaven Open and The Son of Man Standing on The Right Hand of God(Acts7:56)For The Lord Himself Shall Descend From Heaven with a Shout(1 Thessalonians4:16) YES He is Coming Again. He Will Return. Thiefs,Robbers and Antichrist Say "He's Not Coming Back"
I Am that Michael Isaac Dale on Psalms 5 - 5 years ago
The living Word of God now says; All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers. Yet ye that screen and post here say, When the Lord comes! and When the Lord returns! The living Word of God now says; Every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. Yet ye that screen and post here confess not. Verily, you are naked as thieves, robbers and antichrists.

I agree Helen; I feel the same way. This is why I have been quoting and reading out loud this Psalms and others as affirmation, decree and declaration for about over 10 years, every morning in my morningadevotion, with aIfew missh days here and there and see how over these 10years this scriptures come to pass in my life as They daily remind me to fear God, reverence him, obey His word and love him
God is our protector. He is ever present. The doors that were shut to you will open because of God's favor. Favor comes on two feet. No hurt or harm will come nigh your dwelling because of God's grace and mercy.
He will shelter his followers with guidance through safe passages because we are following his guidance and is leading us to his might presents which his heaven. Thank you Lord. We are not our own.
"Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face." Like the Apostle wrote "Everyone that has this hope in him purifies himself even as He is pure;" whether its the innumerable voices of strangers that mislead into darkness and error away from faith, or our lusts; we have to set our eyes on Jesus above all these evils that surround us in and out.
"For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing (falsehood): the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man." Therefore we make account and set in order all our ways every morning before God that we be of the Truth from the heart.
Dear Mild Bill; You write right from my heart! And I love especially what is taught in this Psalm about coming before the LORD in the morning to "set in order" and "give account" before Him, BECAUSE He is not a God who will abide wickedness, nor allow anything unclean into His Presence. So we examine ourselves through His Word, and be all honest about our character, our behavior, and our thoughts.
Mild Bill,saved by grace on Psalms 5 - 6 years ago
After sleep,we should make a habit of going to the Lord who has sustained us while in that state.To pray for a path in the day to follow,in his service,unto his glory.Because of his mercy and grace,we are in his house,in the company of other believers.Sin and wickedness are near us in this world and we know judgement with justice will come.Joy to fullness then in Thy kingdom come,Thy will be done.
I like this scripture it gives you reassurance knowing that God will bless you and surround you with his shield of protection in face of the adversary.
I would like to get deeper understanding of the book of psalm because my heart desires to truly seek the face of The Lord and to be to do his will by having understanding and insight of his ways
Self righteousness is iniquity/deceitful,whereas,the truly righteous are so,by the grace of God.Man can never earn forgiveness, some are lead by God to accept what was paid for on the cross."Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy and whom he will he hardeneth."Titus3:5. God is,Sovereign in salvation,never indebted to our works,done in thankfulness to him.Salvation is never temporary.
Bill; This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. The Pharisee really had a lot to be thankful for, but not for the things that he supposed made him "better than" his neighbor the Publican. Had he rightly understood the meaning of his religion he wouldn't have had the "holier than thou" attitude to judge and despise his brother's trouble. Walking in truth cannot forget its own need of grace.
The Pharisee stood,prayed thus,God, I thank thee,that I am not as other men are,extortioners,unjust,adulterers,or even as this publican.I fast twice in the week,I give tithes of all that I possess.And the publican,standing afar off,would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven,but smote upon his breast, saying,God be merciful to me a sinner.Saved by mercy and grace of God.Romans5:8 while yet
of God on Earth,for one thousand years.It is written and will be done,as it is God's will.The great lie of
Satan is based on this truth,that is,namely,utopia,or,the human desire to again enter Eden.Admission to
the Kingdom is by the grace of God only.The eternal realm begins after final human failure in the Kingdom,
as was human failure in the garden.The Savior,the Lord Jesus, is all the glory permitted,demonstrated and
worthy of our love.A sinful self will no longer be a part of us,hard for us to imagine as we are in this world,
yet,the fullness of forgiveness will be our experience,as it is written.
