Praise for Deliverance

'I will praise the Lord at all times, his praise is always on my lips. My whole being praises the Lord. 

The poor will hear and be glad. Glorify the Lord with me, and let us praise his name together.

I asked the Lord for help, and he answered me. He saved me from all that I feared. Those who go to him for help are happy, and they are never disgraced.' Psalm 34:1-5 (NCV) 

Daddy, teach me your ways! And He does.

He teaches me His ways and in His Kingdom He always goes first. Heavenly Father says, first, we praise. Not only that but He teaches me to praise Him at all times. My lips are to be praising Him always. Even in my distress it is what I am to do. Even before I cry out to Him in anguish it is where I am to go. Do it first. It is His Divine order of approach.

I can approach Him with lips of praise for He is worthy. Even during my most difficult situations and in my poverty, I am to search for and to think on these things until something lovely comes to mind and I am to praise Him and thank Him for it. Then He will listen. Thus our lines of communication are to be established.

I know that my lines of communication are secure. My Heavenly Father is always listening for His daughter's voice. I know I am blessed because of it. I think I've got it now, my Good Father. I admit, I've had things backwards for awhile. Now I see why it seemed like You weren't listening to me before. I will do what You have told me to do. First I bless You and then You bless me.  I will praise You even before I ask for Your help and You will hear me. You hear me and in Your Will Your answer will always be a 'yes'. You hear me and You save me from all my fears. You deliver me out of all of my troubles and for that I am so happy.

You make me happy. I am crazy about You. I even rave about You to all of my friends. When I keep my eyes on You all of my burdens are rolled away. Even all of my friends are calling on You for help. Just like me, when they praise You their shame is gone and their distress is lifted and they are happy too. We know that You care. Thank You for being our Lord and for saving us!

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...
