My Light Source





'The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?' Psalm 27:1
 
'Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.' Isaiah 60:1

'Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me.' Micah 7:8

'What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?' Romans 8:31

'The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?' Psalm 118:6 (NKJV)

This morning, a thought on a theme; God's love and protection. Not just this morning, but every morning! The theme of my life is being played out right in front of me and I can see it with my own eyes. Fingers speak!

Why not find comfort in Him? Why not fill my mind this morning with thoughts of my Lord and my Redeemer? Sleep? Evasive. Overrated. So, I run to Him with open arms and invite Him into this place of sanctuary with my praises.

His gracious presence calms me. His light is my guide and His mighty power sustains me and is my source of strength. No one or nothing else will do. I've tried. All else have failed. I found. This prevails.

His promises keep me now and forever. There You are! I know You hear me. Your Spirit speak! In You I find peace and security and meaning. I shall not fear. Light! Eternal and that to be soon enough. Excellence. Dependable. Just. True. Guiding and directing. Never suspicious or demanding. The Glory! The Lord's Glory. You have risen and Your Glory is upon me! Hallelujah. Nothing but Your Love and that mingled with my faith is all I need.

Darkness is but for a little while. I contemplate hope during this season. I consider from where I have come. Out of the darkness You saved me. You have brought me out of darkness and rescued me from many things and took me to this place. Now I find my rest in You. Even now I look forward to a new day in You. Great God! I will praise Your name forever.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
