Psalm 29:11

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
Psalm 29:11

11 The LORD [Yahovah] will give [nathan] strength [`oz] unto his people [`am]; the LORD [Yahovah] will bless [barak] his people [`am] with peace [shalowm].KJV-Interlinear

11 The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.  NASB

The summary of this psalm, is that the Lord, who is Jesus Christ, who controls all of history, is more than able to plan for, take care of, provide for, and protect His people, and much, much more.  Unfortunately too many people play pretend games, and do not respect their own spiritual life, do not respect God, do not respect the scriptures, and certainly do not respect the design and will of God in and for their lives.

And they demonstrate this not by words, but by their everyday actions.  They do not engage in a daily study as mandated.  They do not confess in the proper way.  They do not grow up as God intends.

Gods intentions for you are spelled out right here. 

To receive strength from Him.
To receive blessings from Him.
To receive peace from Him.

Strength comes for the residence of doctrine in the soul, which is doctrine learned and processed and used, resulting in spiritual power in you.

Blessings come from Gods favor poured out on you, as a mature believer.

Peace comes in the form of a relaxed mental attitude, contentment, security and the resultant faith of a fulfilled and meaningful life.

All of this comes from God, and from no other source.
