Salvation thinking

Psalm 13:5 “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.” A relationship locked is a visual of trust.  The trust you and I have in God’s love cannot ever become separated.  Nothing is more secure than God’s promise of love for each of us.  If you weren’t feeling well with a contented heart before reading this you certainly are now.  Could you be blessed more?

Security is yours

Psalm 11:1a “In the Lord I take refuge…” Finances are important.  A home is important.  A safe, reliable vehicle is important.  Living without war is important.  Eating nutritious food is important.  Living without anxiety or depression is important.  The bottom line?  The most important?  Having a close, tight and always growing relationship with your Heavenly Father.  Nothing is more important.  Cherish that relationship!

God listens

Psalm 10:17 “You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry.” Last night, at a meeting where former addicts of the Lighthouse ministry met, the question was asked—how important is constructive encouragement?  To summarize in one word the answer was—extremely!  There is no one who encourages you and me more than our Heavenly Father.  How important is that encouragement?  Answer—there is nothing more important!  Study His Word and receive the best nourishment your soul can possibly receive.

Short but huge

Psalm 11:1a “In the Lord I take refuge…” When you and I listen to these 6 words of this psalm we live in wisdom.   Have a great weekend.

Don’t be like this guy

Psalm 10:4 “In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.” Unfortunately, this verse identifies may who live in this world.  Man can be self-centered and pride-filled.  Education, wealth, celebrity status, can all contribute to narcissism: that is, being in love with oneself.  There is either a very weak recognition of God or total blindness of His presence.  This verse warns against such shallow and self-destructive thinking.  Never allow pride to place any of us into such a category.
