Psalms 30
Listening to the one-year chronological Bible Audible books while going about my day. Has given me so much insight. Faith cometh by hearing(where is that in the bible? I really can't remember), but this hearing portion is so true. Because this weekend was the book of Psalms, and I just had to share at least one with my Marbys.
For anyone who may be new here, welcome! I am so happy you took the time to watch my videos, like, love, or comment on my content. This little space is gaining some traction, Marbs, and it really is all God, so I give Him thanks for this opportunity and for Him to use me because on a real, I don't even know what to say or post on a daily basis. Until God be like, here you go, or if you're trying to understand it, maybe someone else is too! So if you like my channel, subscribe. I know everyone says that, but the truth is, for me, I work off of dependability. So if I got someone depending on me to post, even if it is like ‘hey how is your day?’ I will get something out there because someone wants to hear it! I still have not introduced myself. I am TJ, a Caribbean girl who moved from the south to the north pole, like North Pole, Alaska. Down the street from Santa Claus’ house. I like making content that helps you get through the week and may even make you smile. I am on all social media platforms as TJ Marbell, I think tipbell on Instagram. I also have my own website, tjmarbell.com, where I will have more than blogs and great Amazon finds.
Now back to the regular scheduled programming
Psalms 30 NLT version says this was a song for the dedication of the temple. Honestly, the more I study David, I think he could have been a really good songwriter, and I know many songs, not only in the church, draw inspiration from his words. But Marbs, when I see David's words, I'm like dude, you went through it... Am I the only one who thinks this? Granted David probably broke most of the ten commandments, but he kept chasing after God. Like David be like God, I know I messed up, but please don't leave me. Like, really, I need your help, God cause I don't know what I was thinking. And honestly, that is what makes David so relatable and God so good, because even though you will have to be corrected for your actions, God is like I am still here. Just to know that makes me feel so happy, like God, you love me that much!
VS 1says you refused to let my enemies triumph over me. Marbs, they are trying, but God is like NOPE, not that one.
Vs 2 I asked for help, and you restored my health. So I just need to ask? Actually, it says I cried to you for help, so you might have to ask more than once. Just saying...
Vs3 is powerful like a whole Lazarus moment and not God being our bodyguard. Marbs, I know this is figurative writing done by David, but sometimes, when you truly process it, like a whole movie or show can be made out of these words. My imagination can't be tricking me that badly.
Vs 5 His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor Marbs it truly be lasting a lifetime! Remember, David was a shepherd who was then chosen over his military-trained brothers to be anointed to become King. While the then reigning King was still alive and hunting David like an animal, just because God picked David over him. If ya'all can't see God's favor all through that. Tell me how you feel the next time you just so happen to get that very last one of the item that normally runs out as soon as it is restocked. If that ain't favor lol.
Marbys vs 6-11! This is why when people are praising God with so much energy, it makes me happy, and if I can, I join with them. Because we just don't know what they have been through! Turned my mourning into dancing! Look, the same energy you had at the time of crop over! Carnival or from that last concert you went to. Transfer it to your praise and worship, don't be scared!
Don't be scared to worship our God with a little two-step and shoulder shrugs because hasn't He been good?
Psalms 30:12 that I may sing praises to you and not be silent. O lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
And that is what the bible says, not TJ.
