An honest confession

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? What kind of faith do I have? 1. Is it a mile wide and an inch deep–therefore, trying to please everyone, or 2. Is it an inch wide and a mile deep –therefore, being oblivious to what is happening around me, or 3. Is it a mile wide and a mile deep–therefore, while seeing what is happening in the world, avoiding the temptations prevalent in the world while being wise in serving my Savior and spreading His truths to those I come in contact with and supporting those who serve the same purpose throughout the world?  What kind of faith do I have?

Integrity and uprightness

Psalm 25:21 “May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.” Honesty, strong moral principles and walking a path of faith are qualities which every Christian tries their best to attain and maintain.  Why? Because every move you and I make involves serving our Savior.  Is that thought too idealistic and not realistic?  For every loved and adopted child of God, service and honor to our God is an enjoyable perpetual.  What an honor it is to serve Him bravely with wisdom.

Only one way

Psalm 25:15 “My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” A snare is a trap which is very difficult, if not impossible, to be released from.  Life on earth can also be a snare with its many temptations which can ruin a person’s relationship with their Savior.  To avoid falling for the “snare” or temptation, one must always concentrate on following the wisdom of God.  Avoid the snare and walk free.

A great conversation/prayer

Psalm 25:7 “Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord are good.” You and I worship a wonderful God.  We couldn’t be more blessed than to have the privilege of being able to communicate with–imagine–God!  And to know He listens.  Even though life is full of heartache and we lack an understanding as to “why”, we enjoy the peace and comfort of knowing God is always faithfully and lovingly at our side. 

Are you sure?

Psalm 25:1 “In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.” Confidence in oneself is critical for living a successful life and is essential for avoiding depression and anxiety.  Confidence and trust in God is absolutely essential for anyone to call themselves a Christian and to experience a calm and peace which only comes from our Father in Heaven.  Having a strong faith and a tight relationship with God is a wonderful way to live.  Thank God for the blessing of such a faith based on the solid foundation of trust.
