Selah Jesus Is The Answer Mp3 Download [HOT]

Jesus response is fierce, isn't it? He is adamant that He must suffer terrible things (vs 31). He will not allow Himself to be tempted or swayed from the purpose for which He came. Then, He launches into a powerful challenge to all who follow Him. Are we willing to walk the way of suffering? The way of the cross? This is a question we must ask ourselves frequently. There is only one answer for those who follow Him. Yes, by His grace and with His help, we are willing. May it be so, Lord Jesus!

Like the King He is, Jesus summoned the twelve disciples and granted them the power to heal. Interestingly, the disciples, now Apostles, are all named in order, starting with Peter and ending with Judas. Also, many have clarifying statements following their names. For example, Matthew, "the tax collector," Simon, "the zealot," and Judas Iscariot, "the one who betrayed Him." By this, you can appreciate Jesus' sense of humor/irony and His broad perspective that transcends human ability. For instance, in any other setting, a tax collector and a zealot would be enemies; however, they are brothers in the Kingdom of God. Then there is Judas. He was also given power to heal and cast out demons. Why? The only answer is God's grace.

Surprisingly, Jesus also instructed them to rely on these strangers for their survival because "the worker is worthy of his support." They were to give liberally from what they were freely given and should expect to be provided for by the people who shared the Gospel's blessing. This is interesting and challenging for me to study. Today, most organizations only send missionaries out AFTER they are provided for. From this passage, Jesus wants to be the provider for all who answer His call in any vocation, and the people who take care of the worker are the people who are being blessed by the work. It makes one think, doesn't it?

Kids are curious about Jesus and God and yet, by the time they are teens, the majority stop asking questions about faith and starting questioning faith altogether. Respected Christian apologist Josh McDowell encourages children to stand on the foundation of truth with this contemporary gathering of concise, welcoming answers for kids ages 8 to 12.

When we take the time to see His answers we remember His faithfulness. We give Him thanks, and we trust Him more. I pray you are blessed beloved and may your prayer time with the Father grow and your faith in Him strengthen.

The second tag_hash_107_____ (v. 4) is the renewed vigor after the pause. The Message says, His answers thunder from the holy mountain. This corresponds with what David wrote when God delivered him previously (see Psalm 18:4-13). Then in the next four verses, David lists all the blessings that come when God answers:

Psalm 3 contains the words Selah three times, at the end of sections of thought, and at the very end of the Psalm: 1 O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

2 many are saying of my soul, there is no salvation for him in God. Selah

3 But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

4 I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah

5 I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

7 Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

8 Salvation belongs to the LORD; your blessing be on your people! Selah

Job 38:1-4 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

So, how do you react? Of course, as I just said, our first, instinctual reaction, is to ask a bunch of questions. And a Christian turns to God for answers to those questions, and we believe Scripture reveals to us many answers to these questions: Where did evil come from? How should we respond to crisis? What is God doing about the problem of sin? How can we live through it and come out better on the other side?

Lastly, the suggestion that "selah" is the city/province of Sela, is almost absurd. The meaning of the Hebrew word "selah" is unknown except that all are convinced it is some kind of musical instruction to the performers. In any case, placing the name of a town at random locations (three times in Hab 3) in the text offers no information about what is being said about the supposed Sela.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the stronghold of my life;

of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When evildoers assail me

to eat up my flesh,

my adversaries and foes,

it is they who stumble and fall.

3 Though an army encamp against me,

my heart shall not fear;

though war arise against me,

yet I will be confident.

4 One thing have I asked of the LORD,

that will I seek after:

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD

all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD

and to inquire in his temple.

5 For he will hide me in his shelter

in the day of trouble;

he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;

he will lift me high upon a rock.

6 And now my head shall be lifted up

above my enemies all around me,

and I will offer in his tent

sacrifices with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make melody to the LORD.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;

be gracious to me and answer me!

Let us never lose sight that God always hears our prayers. Even when we feel like we are not getting answers. God hears. This is important for the Psalmist because look how he struggles through verses 2-4,

There is probably good reason for the Selah here. It was time to stop and reflect. Would you ever consider questioning God in such a way? To bring into question his very character? Yet the questions were needful for the questioner. The answer was obviously an emphatic NO.

"My God! You have answered me!" the passenger cried out. Later that night, by his own hearth, this man, William Cowper, one of the greatest of England's 18th century poets, meditated on Psalm 77. Let us read it now:

Have you been in that situation? Are you in that situation now? You have called out to the Lord, you have cried out, and you remember that, yes, in the past God has answered you, but now there seems to be no response. The skies seem to be solid, like brass, and God is silent, as far as you can hear.

The Bible is a very honest book. It does not hide from us the troubles that are part of our lives in this world. This Psalm is telling us of a man who is in deep trouble. We don't know the source of his difficulty -- he just calls it "the day of my trouble." This is clearly a personal and not a national time of trouble. He is seeking the Lord in the middle of his trials. And yet, as he calls out to God and gets no answer, the Psalm says his soul refuses to be comforted. He is caught up in the middle of his trouble, and he expresses his belief in God through his crying out, but his soul is refusing to be comforted. And the thought of God brings no relief to him. He moans when thinking of God.

He brings out these questions concerning God. These are logical questions given his circumstances. "In the past," he says, "God answered my cries. He gave me a song in the night. But today, what do I get? I hear nothing from him. Has God changed?"

The questions are interesting, because in a sense they answer themselves. Look at the beginning of verse 8: "Has His unfailing love vanished forever?" The phrase "unfailing love" in the Hebrew is just one word, the word that implies the whole covenant relationship between Israel and God. It is translated in different ways: lovingkindness, faithful love, steadfast love, mercy, but the idea behind it is that God has made a promise to these people. God has made a promise that he will always be there for them, indeed, that he will work out history to fulfill the promises he has made, that he will be faithful day after day, century after century. That is all included in this word, "unfailing love." And so the Psalmist is asking, "Has this covenant love come to an end? Has this unfailing love failed?" Is God's word no longer valid? Are God's promises no longer valid? Has the flow of his mercy stopped?

Note that for the Psalmist there is nothing in his present circumstances that gives evidence of God's love. And so the Psalmist is faced with a choice: He has believed God in the past, when God answered him. Now he has to ask himself, "Do I believe God when I don't hear an answer? In the past, have I believed God because of his blessings? Now, do I simply believe God regardless of whether he is blessing me or not?"

They were faced with a choice. Nothing in their present circumstances gave evidence of God's faithfulness and God's love. They had to decide, "Do we believe in God regardless of our circumstances, or did we believe in the past only because of his answers?"

How did they respond? They answer this most powerful man in the world with these words: "Our God is able to deliver us: but even if he does not, let it be known that we are not going to serve your Gods." They chose to believe God regardless of their circumstances. And that is what this Psalmist is being asked to do, that is what we are often asked to do in the midst of our troubles and trials. Do we believe God because of what he does for us, because of his blessings, or do we simply believe God because of who he is?

Well, the Psalmist has now come to this brink. In asking this question, "Has God's unfailing love failed?" there are only two possible ways to go. He either has to reject everything that he has believed in the past, to decide that God never had an unfailing love, that that was all just a myth, or he has to accept that, yes, God is God and he does not change. The Psalmist comes to the brink, he examines the logical implications of answering yes to these questions about the failure of God, and then he changes in verses 11 and 12. So this is the Psalmist's resolve: 9af72c28ce
