Love and Trust

Psalm 32:10 “Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.” Trusting in God is the easiest thing a person can possibly do yet many fail.  Why would a person trust in anyone or anything else when the Creator of the Universe has outstretched arms and offers a comfort and peace found nowhere else?  We pray that our human nature never overrides the trust we are guaranteed by our Heavenly Father.  Let us live our lives trusting in Him and Him alone.

You are blessed if…

Psalm 32:2 “Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.” You have to ask yourself–am I blessed according to what God states in this passage?  Do I have a faith filled heart and enjoy serving my Savior?  Do I read my Bible and believe what it has to say?  Do I recognize I am saved by grace and all my works are as filthy rags in gaining salvation?  Am I blessed and a child of God only because of the redemptive sacrifice of my Savior?  Your answers answer the question–Are you blessed? Have a great weekend.

You are blessed

Psalm 32:1 “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.” Are you living a life of forgiveness?  Definitely!  Are you sinful and have your sins forgiven?  Definitely!  What are the results of living a faith filled life?  The results are living a blessed life on this earth and looking forward to an eternity of blessed wonder in Heaven.  Is this the best life a person can live?  Definitely!  Be blessed!

You changed me

Psalm 30:11-12 “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.  Lord, my God, I will praise you forever.” What is the greatest relationship one can have?  A loving spouse?  Wonderful, obedient, caring children? Friends one can enjoy partying with?   All of these answers are fine, but none answer the question.  Your Heavenly Father blankets you and me with joy.Nothing is more wonderful.  What a joy it is to be a loved and adopted child of God.  So, the answer to the question??

A heartfelt prayer

Psalm 31:2 “Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.” David prayed this prayer because he knew God not only could but also would give him the comfort only God was capable of giving.  No one else could come close to satisfying David’s needs.  The same is true of you and me.  God is your and my refuge, rock and fortress.  Our ultimate strength comes from our Redeemer.  Praise God for His love for each of us.
