Do you need a guard?

Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.” The responsibility of a guard is to provide safety and security. Parts of our own bodies can generate danger and become our own enemy.  Not only can our mouths hurt ourselves, our words can hurt others even to such a degree that a person can be hurt for life.  Spouses, parents, friends or someone unfamiliar can be hurt or can cause hurt and that hurt might very slowly heal or never heal.  Let us be very careful with the words we speak.

We pray

Psalm 141:1 “O Lord, I call to you; come quickly to me.  Hear my voice when I call to you.” Every Christian on earth communicates with their Heavenly Father.  That continual conversation is the life stream we all enjoy with God.  What an honor it is for all of us to enjoy the ability of talking with our Almighty God, knowing He is listening, sincerely cares about what we are saying and lovingly answers as is always best. Have a great weekend.

How do I learn God’s thoughts? And why?

Psalm 139:17 “How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!  How vast is the sum of them!” There is only one way to learn how and what God thinks.  We all listen to others thoughts throughout the day.  We evaluate them and either apply them or ignore them.  Not so with God’s thoughts.  We study His thoughts and apply them.  The more we know of God’s thoughts the wiser and more successful we become.  As we age and study we become rich.  We could not be more blessed.

God and knowing you

Psalm 139:13 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” God has known you since conception.  He is responsible for your conception and development even in your mother’s womb.  No one is closer to you than your Heavenly Father.  The miracle of you is not generally realized.  How can that miracle not be understood? Because most people do not know this passage or do not understand its content.  YOU ARE A MIRACLE OF GOD!!Isn’t that an outstanding thought to begin your day.

How well does God know you?

Psalm 139:1 “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.” Who knows you better than God?  No one!  Is that good or is that bad?  Both!  Our thoughts are known to Him.  Our actions are known to Him.  Someone might say—so what?  Well, when each of us searches our own hearts we have to come to the conclusion we need a Savior.  God knows that and because of His wisdom and great love for each of us He sent His Son.  That is why we celebrate Christmas, Easter and Ascension every day.
