COME ---

"O come, let us SING unto the Lord -- let us GIVE unto the Lord -- let us WORSHIP the Lord!"
It is a beautiful Monday morning -- the sun is brightly shining and glistening on the beautiful leaves in their fall colors, making me want to cry out with the Psalmist:  "O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker."

The book of Psalms is a glorious book!  It seems like no matter what difficulty, problem, trial or sorrow we may find ourselves in, we can find guidance, consolation, encouragement or whatever we might be in need of at any particular time in this wonderful "prayer and praise book of Israel"!

As I was reading in the Psalms last week, my heart was very blessed as I read Psalm 120 through 130.  None of these wonderful little Psalms are over eight verses, and they all have some wonderful verses to bless and encourage your heart through the week.  I thought I would pick out one phrase or verse from each Psalm to begin your week today, and maybe that will whet your appetite to read each Psalm and meditate on them through the week.

120 -- "In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and He heard me."  (I am so very thankful His ear is always open to my cry!)
121 -- "The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore."  Praise the Lord!
122 -- "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord."  Amen!  Let us be faithful in our attendance!
123 -- "Unto Thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens."
124 -- "Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth."  (And He never fails!)
125 -- "They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever."
126 -- "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy."  (I am thankful for this sweet promise.)
127 -- "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward."  (Amen)
128 -- "Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in His ways."
130 -- "I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope."

May God bless you as you live in His Word through the week!  Jesus never fails!
