JOTS FROM OLD JAKE
SERVANTS OF THE LORD!

Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Who are the servants of the Lord? They are those who give praise to the Lord; who stand in the house of the Lord by night: who lift their hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord! Do you fall in that description? If you do�. Then you might be a servant of the Lord.
I visualize a book being published called, �You might be a servant of the Lord if�� who knows maybe one of the entries in that book might be. �If you are a redneck��
Or maybe not!
Psalms 113:1 (KJV) Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Psalms 134:1-3 (KJV) A Song of degrees. Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
(Psalms 135:1 KJV) Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
2 Kings 9:7 (KJV) And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
What a blessing it is to have the Lord on our side� He avenges the mal treatment of His servants. I know that in many nations that His servants are undergoing a lot of torture because they believe in Jesus and are His servants. It would be illogical to believe that there is not going to be repercussions from nations who do not believe in the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David. But it would be even more illogical to believe that Our Father will not avenge their threats and dastardly deeds. We should also be aware that some of that vengeance will be accomplished prior to the finale and will involve putting our youth in harms way to achieve this. Yes we must be sure it is the Lord leading the endeavor. As long as He is in it we will win. O by the way� the last chapter says, �WE WIN!�
Today�s memory verse:
(Psalms 145:18 - 20 KJV) The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.
Ulterior thought:
You know the old saying, �If the shoe fits�� Well let�s be reasonable about this� If it fits find its mate before you wear them!
May You Be Blessed by the Holy Spirit to Overflowing!
Bye for Now!
