God's Works - Verity & Judgment


The Works of God are seen in His Word in many places and today we explore His Work in Verity & Judgment as spoken of in Psalm 111. It is a Psalm of Praise and gives reasons for Praising God with a “whole heart.” It also tells us this glorious Praise must be in the congregation of the upright. This is an awesome statement; there must be Praise in the midst of the congregation! This is a Truth! For Verity means: True, Steadfast, Sure, Faith and Agreement among other things. When Jesus said, “Verily, verily, He was giving a powerful meaning to His statement. In the Hebrew it meant: I Am speaking a Truth to you with an exclamation mark! There is no doubt in My Words.” Sometimes we read them, but we don’t take in the power of the Truth that is being said. Consider the Works of God. His Works are Eternal! In the eons of time John 16:28 Jesus tells us “I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father.” And then as we read Gen.1:1, we see the Beginning of the Works of God in the earth. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The Message today is about Verity, verity, the Truth of God’s Works in the earth and in the hearts of His people. Here the Word of the Lord from the Book of Job: “God caused the Light of His Cloud to shine, He balanced the clouds and wondrous works of Him which is perfect in knowledge! ”The Works of God are often not known to us: From Eccl. 11:5: “As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. A good thing is to study His Word, for therein do we find the “Works of God!” John 6:28 admonish us “that we might work the Works of God by sharing the Life Giving Bread, which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ!” When Jesus was questioned concerning a blind man, they were told “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the Works of God should be manifest in him.And I love to report from the Scriptures “Speaking in Tongues is the “Wonderful Works of God!! ~ Acts 2:4-11. With all the Wonderful Works of God there is Judgment. Ps. 9:16-17 “The Lord is known by the Judgment which He executeth: the wicked is snared in the Work of His own hands.  Selah. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Thus the Message of God to the World, There is powerful Truth in Verity, and there is Judgment! Praying in the Spirit for you and loving you, Pastor
