Psalm 130:6 “My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.” Looking forward to communicating with those you love is one of the greatest joys of life. Do you communicate with God every morning? Do you read His Word every morning? If you do you are enjoying the greatest joy you can have in the morning. If you don’t, try it. You will experience the greatest joy of the morning.

Psalm 130:5 “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.” God’s Biblical definition of hope is far from a maybe. His entire Book defines hope. Confident expectation of all of God’s promises defines hope. God’s promises are absolutely real and are full of hope. You and I knew Good Friday would be followed by Easter Sunday. There was no doubt–we had a hope which was because of our Savior’s promise. We hope our Father will bring us to Himself in Heaven. Just like Easter was real so our future home in Heaven is as real as real gets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Psalm 125:2 “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore.” Our all knowing God understands you and I enjoy visuals which help our understanding. This passage is a visual. The purpose? To paint a picture of His ever presence and the security only He can provide. Our God again shows His tremendous love for each of us.

Psalm 125:1 “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.” Imagine putting your arms around a large oak tree and shaking it. You can’t. Now imagine yourself viewing the highest hill in Jerusalem and attempting to shake it. Two problems: putting your arms around it and then shaking that which cannot be shaken. The trust you and I have in our God can never be shaken. His faithfulness endures forever—Praise God!

Psalm 124:8 “Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” God, our Creator, the Creator of the huge universe and the creator of every child in the womb is the same God who walks by your and my side every second of our lives. What an honor it is to be His child and for us to call Him our Father. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 123:1 “I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven.” No one has ever physically seen God. He is so magnificent our physical eyes would become blind; however, we do see God with our heart, soul and spirit and you and I love the sight. We love to see His glory and enjoy the beautiful thought of His unsurpassed love for each of us. We truly do see Him and thoroughly pleasure in His everlasting presence. Have a great weekend.
