I Will Testify Of His Deeds For He Has Been Good To Me, He Has Not Hidden His Face

Topic: “I Will Testify Of His Deeds For He Has Been Good To Me, He Has Not Hidden His Face” Psalms 73: 27, 28 When God has to correct us, all He needs is for us to give Him that space so that we can grow. He comes into our lives, it is the Holy Spirit who penetrates, makes us understand when we are wrong, makes us weep and cry out. The Holy Spirit intercedes through our mortal bodies. The Holy Spirit can moan for us because the Holy Spirit is a person; God has always made plans with men on earth. It pleases God that we are imperfect because this way He can allow His power to be seen. The Holy Spirit will be the one to work in us, to make us understand and make us reflect. That is why we cannot turn it off, because if He abandons us we have everything to lose. When God created the earth He separated the waters and put them in their place. He put everything in order; He gave us the earth to live and to be happy. God has given us a lot so that we can enjoy it. He has control of all that is the human being. He created us; He made us what we are today, now. He has raised us to be His people and gave us our share. As a town we don’t lack anything, we have a course, direction. Glory to God, He came to do good in our lives. Be careful with lending your ears to those who are arrogant, because that interrupts our relationship with God. We are kings and priests, God has given us abundantly. In this path there is a process where we are being observed for our growth. That is why we cannot remain as we are. As long as we grow as the church no one will come to teach us with their arrogances or underestimate us, because we know what we are and we are worth for God. We are the apple of His eye, and when we’re ready to understand this we will never walk away or desire what belongs to others. Let us be happy. Sometimes we pass over the true essence of life. That is why for some there is no satisfaction in their lives, but sadness. It should not be this way. Sometimes people leave because of their frustrations. All those who leave God will be destroyed; the flame of fire is no longer there and we must serve God with fire. When the flame leaves, there is only a sad face. It is God who works in our lives. The psalmist was completely aware of the condition of the iniquitous, he was able to see this when he entered God’s sanctuary. The more we get to know God we will then know better how we should move. When men become strange to God and walk away because of their wickedness, it is because there is no longer love, fidelity, purity and sanctity in them. Then you can see their jealousy, they don’t trust but rather they walk with astuteness, they don’t pray, they don’t enter in the sanctuary. For that reason God sees them as strangers. They receive destruction because there is no repentance. We must be happy with what God has given us. What makes us stop is jealousy. As the church we should excel in humbleness. Coming closer to God is good for us and that it is the effect of Him coming closer to us (Romans 10:20). God has come close to us and that makes us come closer to Him. That is why we have everything to gain; there is no reason to lose. Then, a happy encounter takes place which leads us to the truth. It is good to come close to God, but it is essential and vital to apply His truth in our lives. It is a necessity to have God close. It is convenient for us to have God’s support, so let us put all our trust in Him. The evil ones, after all, will perish and be destroyed. Let us trust God and not worry about the prosperity of the evil ones.

2 Kings 18:5 As King, Ezekiel could have trusted his army, but he placed his hope in Jehovah and everything that he accomplished prospered. We have to put our hope in Jehovah and in no one else, then we can tell His deeds and we will be able to testify about what He has done in our lives. The righteous have nothing to regret. If as God’s people we no longer attend the sanctuary of God, we will always regret it. God shows His greatness. What makes us feel pleased, Jehovah or the world? If it is God then we will live in peace. Let us not be anyone’s prisoner, because we have put our eyes in Jehovah. Ezekiel preserved the commandments, he preserved his life in sanctity and all went well because Jehovah prospered him. Psalm 25:2 In God we trust, and no one else. The enemy wants to embarrass us. Let us not be ashamed by those who bring wickedness to the church. There are enemies who want to embarrass us in our difficult days; they feel glad when we have a fall. In the difficult days we should be happy because God is with us. Isaiah 12:2 Our strength and song is Jehovah, for that reason we reassure ourselves, we go into the sanctuary and there will be no fear. We have everything to gain with God; we should learn and make His deeds famous among the town. I Timothy 4:10 Although we are in disgrace, let us wait in the living God. The more we suffer the more we will have to tell about His deeds, because we will see Him working more in our lives. Why can’t we receive opprobrium’s or offenses? Because of pride? No one can work alone, we all need one another. We are God’s chosen, we are here to serve Him, let us honor what we experience for His cause. 2 Timothy 1:12 The Almighty God is the one that guards our deposit. Sometimes, when we are suffering we complain too much, we gossip; if there is something we should know it is that we cannot faint. Paul’s concern was Christ's tribunal and that is what should concern us also. There we will be rewarded for our fidelity for what God has placed in our hands. Let us testify about His deeds because He has been good to us and has never hidden His face. Amen.
