Verse of the Day 6/14

Psalm 48:14 Yes, this is our God, our great God forever.
He will lead us onward until the end,
through all time, beyond death,
and into eternity! The Passion Translation (TPT)

Today???s verse should be a comfort to us, no matter what we face. Our God is the Creator of all things and He will lead us forever, beyond the here and now, beyond our troubles now, in the future and beyond death and into eternity.

The people of Israel admired the beauty of the city and the temple and if you???ve been there you can see why. But above that, they worshipped the God who is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. Other cities in those days had their own gods, but the God of Israel was Lord of all. None could compare with Him.

Jesus would later predict the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. It would be knocked down. Jesus would come, be knocked down and lifted up on a cross to die. But He overcame death and rose again so that those who put their faith and trust in Him will follow Him until the end of this life to the beginning of a new life in Him, ???through all time, beyond death, and into eternity.

Jesus, my Lord will love me forever,
From Him no pow'r of evil can sever,
He gave His life to ransom my soul;
Now I belong to Him;

Once I was lost in sin's degradation,
Jesus came down to bring me salvation,
Lifted me up from sorrow and shame,
Now I belong to Him;

Now I belong to Jesus,
Jesus belongs to me,
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.

Psalm 48:9-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
10 As your name, O God,
so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments!
12 Walk about Zion, go around her,
number her towers,
13 consider well her ramparts,
go through her citadels,
that you may tell the next generation
14 that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
He will guide us forever.[a
