Failure/Success

Psalm 73:26 “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Physically and emotionally every person–even Christians–has/have stress.  Ever since Adam and Eve fell the world became contaminated with difficulties.  Fortunately, every Christion–including you and me–not only survive, but flourish because of our relationship with our loving Father.  Without Him difficulties flourish, while with Him peace and security and comfort of heart are ours forever.  Rest in His arms.

The One and Only

Psalm 72:18 “Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. The true God is light years beyond your and my capability of comprehending, yet we have a relationship with Him which provides comfort and peace like no other security on this earth.  In his psalms David constantly expressed this thought.  There is no one like Him–there never has been and there never will be.   How privileged we are to walk with Him every day of our lives. Have a great weekend.

Truth and promise

Psalm 73:24 “You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.” The statement of our Psalmist with his first 6 words of this verse is your and my constant prayer–God, please guide me.  The second half of this verse then states the result of being guided by God–eternal life in Heaven.  Is there a better personal prayer?

always?

Psalm 71:24a “My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long…” Are you serious?  All day long?  People will judge me as crazy!  Can’t I go bowling or golfing or talk with my friends or even walk the beach?  Of course, God says.–He wants us to have a life of joy, using our talents and fulfilling our purpose.  Bottom line–in our life of joy, using our talents, bowling, golfing or walking the beach—we ALWAYS represent our Savior  AND what a privilege that is! 

Who is like You?

Psalm 71:19 “Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things.  Who is like you, God?” For you and me to recognize the uniqueness of God is to walk humbly with Him.  To place God above, far above everything is to try and understand the oneness of the being of God and to humbly appreciate the love God has for each of us.  What an honor it is to be called a child of God.  To say or write that God is great is a total understatement.  We have to say with our Psalmist–Who is like you, God? Nave a great weekend.
