Salvation from…

Psalm 37:39 “The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.” There is one source of our salvation and that source is certainly not our own making.  Our Father demands perfection and no one either reading or writing these words comes close to perfection.  We all desperately need a Savior.  Fortunately, neither you nor I are desperate—-we have our Savior.   We can breathe a giant sigh of relief. We soon celebrate–our Savior is born!

Another promise

Psalm 37:28 “For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.” Live with integrity.  Every Christian lives and breaths integrity. A Christian cannot act one way in a bar and another way in a church.  A constant relationship with one’s Heavenly Father is enjoyed by you and me and is blessed by our God.  And to be loved by God—nothing could be better! Have a great weekend.

Time proves God’s promises

Psalm 37:25 “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” David had experienced life when he wrote this verse.  He was elderly.  He had experienced sadness, rebellion, happiness, dear friendship, a very close relationship with his Savior and knew he would affect future generations like you and me as he wrote.  Never–that’s a key word–Never will God abandon His children.  Never will He stop blessing His children.  You and I could never conceive of a more loving and faithful God.  Enjoy and praise!

Firm, stumble upheld

Psalm 37:23-24 “The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” Our Psalmist, David, wrote what is realistic, what is truth, and what is faith filled.  He knows God.  He knows the strength and the weakness of man.  He knows and tells us the truth and the ultra-importance of our reliance on God.  You and I are His faithful followers, but none of us are perfect.  Yet, because of His grace, we live on this earth in peace and look forward to an eternity of unbelievable joy.  Our present and future looks great!

Brave words from a brave warrior

Psalm 37:5p “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him…” If you had to define your attitude many times you would use the word “skeptical”.  If you apply that word to your faith you would be “one of the biggest losers”.  David is telling us very specifically–trust– and be “one of the biggest winners”.  “Loser” or “Winner”?  Make your heart, mind and soul decide.
