Someone to Praise and Something to Sing About

'O my soul, come, praise the Eternal with all that is in me—body, emotions, mind, and will—every part of who I am—praise His holy name.


O my soul, come, praise the Eternal; sing a song from a grateful heart; sing and never forget all the good He has done.

Despite all your many offenses, He forgives and releases you. More than any doctor, He heals your diseases.

He reaches deep into the pit to deliver you from death. He crowns you with unfailing love and compassion like a king.

When your soul is famished and withering, He fills you with good and beautiful things, satisfying you as long as you live. He makes you strong like an eagle, restoring your youth.

When people are crushed, wronged, enslaved, raped, murdered, the Eternal is just; He makes the wrongs right. Psalm 103:1-6 (VOICE) 

Even the sin of forgetfulness is forgiven. My God is a merciful God. He loves me. Do not forget this:

      1. He forgives me of all of my sins,
      2. He heals me of all my diseases,
      3. He redeems me and saves me,
      4. He crowns me with love and mercy,
      5. He satisfies me and renews my youth and strength, and
      6. He works righteousness and gives justice to all.

Dear Heavenly Father. Because of Your merciful nature, God, You are the God of second chances You are the God of Grace and You are the Lord of Love. Because of these six truths, You always give me someone too praise and something to sing about. When I stumble in sin You are right there, ready to restore me to myself in You and I find myself in Your favor again and again and always, even unto eternity. You are perfect in all of Your ways and You saved my life and now my soul will praise You as I think on these things and consider all that You have done for me. And, as if these were not enough, You are still doing great and amazing things for me that bring beauty into my life and renews my strength. You bless me every day and in so many ways and I am grateful. I take my delight in You. It is my duty and a privilege to praise You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' 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

Up is Down Times

‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having nice things, bu

The Look

' 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
