PSALM 95 DEVOTIONAL,TESTIMONY AND PRAISE REPORT

Today’s devotional is a testimony, praise report and a devotional all rolled into one. Last year as I sat upon the rocks on Lake Huron the day before I left to come back home from my vacation and visiting my mother, I prayed!! I prayed and asked our Father “how many more times will I have to leave this place that I do not want to leave?” It was getting harder and harder for me to do so with every passing year of visiting there. I asked Him, would I ever be able to just stay there? He answered me with these five words “within two years, my child!” I knew it was His voice with the peace that flooded over me as I sat there! The peace that passes all understanding was unmistakable. Last night He opened the door just when I thought I was at the end of myself, when all was looking impossible. I never forgot that prayer and His answer although lately I was beginning to feel it was a hopeless situation, temporarily forgetting that He IS our hope. Forgive me Father for my faltering faith in Your Word! YOU ARE EVER FAITHFUL!! Last night I received a job offer there; God works in very mysterious ways and answered this prayer after a spontaneous comment sent to a restaurant rating website and not so much as a resume was sent. it has been 14 months since that day God spoke to me. Even though this child was getting impatient He stayed true to that promise. Father God, thank You for all You have done for me. Thank You for loving me, for Your patience with me and Your faithfulness. Thank You for Your strength that carried me even when I was losing hope. Thank You Lord for not allowing me to wander for forty years in the wilderness to reach the land of milk and honey!! In Jesus most precious Name, AMEN!!

Psalm 95(KJV)

1O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
