Does God keep a record?

Psalm 130:3-4 “If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?  But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.” Every morning you or I wake up we are met by our loving Father informing us of our perfection in His eyes because of our loving Savior.  Even though we all have an addiction to sin, He understands and lets His love for each of us begin each day with a perfect slate.  Without question—-God is love.

From Christmas to Easter to Ascension

Psalm 130:3-4 “If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?  But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.” The entire life of Jesus was to bring you and me into a close relationship with God.  We need perfection to live at the throne of God.  Jesus is that Perfection.  You and I are perfect only because of our loving Savior.  We could not possibly be more blessed.  Merry Christmas–Happy Easter–Wonderful Ascension!  

You are blessed

Psalm 128:1-2 “Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.  You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” These two verses are not wishes or psychological thoughts meant to counter depression.  These two verses are absolute truths from our Heavenly Father.  You are truly blessed and being blessed means success is yours.  Don’t look to “celebrities”  or “sports heroes”  or anyone else.  Look in the mirror and praise and thank the God who blesses you.  Never compare–always be a thankful, adopted and blessed child of your Savior.  You are blessed beyond measure. Have a great weekend.

Children

Psalm 127:3 “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.” God has blessed His faithful with many blessings.  The greatest earthly blessing He has given to parents is that of children.  That truth is especially seen when young parents have their first child.  We ought to all maintain that happiness throughout our children’s lives even when difficulties and the “growing up” times happen.  Children are a precious gift from our Heavenly Father.

We build with God

Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” All of man’s accomplishments on this earth are only because of the grace of God.  That statement is true both individually and collectively.  You and I have accomplished nothing because of our great abilities.  Yet, you and I have accomplished much because God has enabled us to be successful.  Without Him our accomplishments are failures.  With Him we can do tremendously.  Why would we ever want to live without Him?  Can you imagine how happy this world would be if our Creator was recognized and given the praise He deserves?  Build your life with Jesus—- both eternal joy and success are guaranteed.
