Be at peace

Psalm 3:8 “From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.” For any of us to put our hope on anything earthly is to place hope on what will inevitably fail.  Nothing on this earth endures forever.  Our only hope is on our Savior alone.  Trust, hope and joy are triplets which are guaranteed from our Savior.  

Sleep and awake

Psalm 3:5 “I lie down and sleep; I wake up again, because the Lord sustains me.” Living in the loving arms of our God is the only way to live.  Nothing can be more peaceful than having a close relationship with our Heavenly Father.  Whether we are awake or asleep we rest in His loving arms.  How wonderful it is to be His loving, adopted child.

Prayer is answered

Psalm 3:4 “I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain.” When David wrote these words things were seemingly not going peacefully great in his life.  We can all relate.  In good times and in not so good times we do well if we place out trust in Him.  Our human nature will tell us — how can we be so naive.  Our God nature will tell us exactly what David wrote.  Sometimes it is very hard to listen to our God nature, but God is always truthful.  When we reach our home in Heaven I am sure we will truly understand.  Until then we simply believe. Have a great weekend.

A warning; A blessing

Psalm 1:6 “For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.” To be an adopted and loved child of God or as this passage says–righteous–is beyond a wonderful blessing.  Why wouldn’t everyone in the world want to be blessed like this?  That is the question of the century. Have a great weekend.

To be blessed

Psalm 1:1p&2 “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked…but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” There comes a time in all of our lives when we leave home and determine our own course in life.  We determine then the kind of life we are going to live.  Is God’s instruction going to dominate our life, is our own desire going to dominate our life or should we include God at times and our own desires at times?  Probably, for most of us, we fall into category 3.  Probably, for most of us, we need to change and be blessed in category 1.
