Psalms 48-49 (NIV)
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1 Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 Beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth,
like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.……Continue Reading
Psalm 48-49
Psalms 48-49
Temporary wealth or status mean nothing in the end…we are all going to die. It’s just a matter of choosing our priorities. Shouldn’t it be that we choose to take our relationship with Christ to the grave…leaving a legacy of faith and wisdom? Only in Christ will we find eternal security.
Psalms 48-49
Reading Psalm 48 I was reminded of a song that I was taught by the ministry of the Navigators. This was many years ago. The first two verses are word by word. Giving praise to God. KJV. In chapter 49 we are told that the wealthy cannot take their riches with them when they die. They cannot even redeem their own brother. Once they are dead; they will all see corruption. Only God can redeem a soul from the power of the grave. vs15. Those that are not redeemed will never see the light. vs 19. Jesus in his parables talks about this. In the parable of the rich fool. This man acquired much wealth but lost his own soul. Luke 12:20.21. {But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul is required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.} Jesus is the light and only those that come by and through Him can enter into Heaven. John 8:12 {Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Thank God that He did this for us. Without Him there is no help and we would remain in darkness. Again thank you Jesus!
