Psalm 111 The Message (MSG)

111 1-10 Hallelujah!
I give thanks to God with everything I’ve got—
Wherever good people gather, and in the congregation.
God’s works are so great, worth
A lifetime of study—endless enjoyment!
Splendor and beauty mark his craft;
His generosity never gives out.
His miracles are his memorial—
This God of Grace, this God of Love.
He gave food to those who fear him,
He remembered to keep his ancient promise.
He proved to his people that he could do what he said:
Hand them the nations on a platter—a gift!
He manufactures truth and justice;
All his products are guaranteed to last—
Never out-of-date, never obsolete, rust-proof.
All that he makes and does is honest and true:
He paid the ransom for his people,
He ordered his Covenant kept forever.
He’s so personal and holy, worthy of our respect.
The good life begins in the fear of God—
Do that and you’ll know the blessing of God.
His Hallelujah lasts forever!

Can we just focus on this psalm and take not of “The good life” ? The Word of God says it begins in the fear of God. I just have to encourage you that only with your eyes will you look and see the reward of the wicked.

Psalm 37:10 New Living Translation (NLT)

10 Soon the wicked will disappear.
    Though you look for them, they will be gone.

Psalm 91:8 New King James Version (NKJV)

Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Today enjoy daily bread and enjoy the life that God has give you.

1 Thessalonians 4:10-12 The Message (MSG)

9-10 Regarding life together and getting along with each other, you don’t need me to tell you what to do. You’re God-taught in these matters. Just love one another! You’re already good at it; your friends all over the province of Macedonia are the evidence. Keep it up; get better and better at it.

11-12 Stay calm; mind your own business; do your own job. You’ve heard all this from us before, but a reminder never hurts. We want you living in a way that will command the respect of outsiders, not lying around sponging off your friends.

I love this translation because it talks about something that we as Christians sometimes don’t. That is a job. We are supposed to be working. There is nothing wrong with hard work. Desire for God to give you a job and to work. Enjoy today’s daily bread.

We have to understand that God is good, but he rejects the proud.

Proverbs 16:18 New Living Translation (NLT)

18 Pride goes before destruction,
    and haughtiness before a fall.

He is Father and He chastens those whom he loves. With that being said understand that you will drink the cup of His wrath if you continue in disobedience and rebellion.
