Our hope and salvation

Psalm 7:1 “Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who would pursue me.” Everyone who seeks God, the true God, finds Him.  Not one person who takes refuge in the Almighty God lives in chaos, turmoil and in a shattered life.  God keeps that from happening.  He is our refuge.  He is our safety and security.  Nothing else on this earth provides such peace and comfort.  We trust Him and He will NEVER fail us.  

Take refuge

Psalm 5:11 “But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.” Every Christian has a right to be happy.  A Christian has a perpetual smile and not a frown.  Is a Christian at times sad, even to a point of crying? Yes, Definitely. While we live on this earth sadness is unavoidable.  Yet, we always rejoice in the comfort of the peace which only comes from our personal love relationship with our God.  Even in sadness our souls rejoice because nothing can interfere with our God/child wonderful love relationship. Have a great weekend.

Sleep in peace

Psalm 4:8 “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” A peaceful night’s rest is more valuable than wealth.  The first gives a person security and dismisses anxiety while the second gives a strong desire for more and restlessness.   So, the question is: would you rather have a peaceful mind or an anxiety for more.  Pray God gives you the wisdom to make the right choice.

Answer me

Psalm 4:1 “Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God.  Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.” God encourages each of us to talk to Him.  He promises to listen, determine what is best for each of us, and bless us as His faithful children.  I cannot imagine what will happen in Heaven when we, living in perfection, will have an understanding of His will and nothing but joy will be our lives.

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.
