Psalm 23:1, The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. My Shepherd If you gave me one million dollars, one reversal of fortune could scatter it. Now, give me a spiritual hold on the divine assurance that “the Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want”, and I am set for life. I will never go broke with this stock in my hand or be bankrupt with this security. Don’t give me ready cash; give me a check book…

Psalm 22:24, For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. God’s Attentiveness     God is so great and mighty that all things are little to Him. To us, the worlds are so enormous that we can’t estimate their size. We look in the sky and see all the stars, so many, we cannot count them. To God it…

Psalm 22:8, “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him”     Do you have faith? With faith  we look for the end of every trial and we know this trial works together for good if we love God, if we are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). With faith we can depend on God’s power during a trial. Therefore we don’t stumble but rise to the afflictions. …

Psalm 21:4, He asked you for life, and you gave it to him-length of days, for ever and ever.                                    “You gave it to him”         God will give us much more than we ask. Abraham asked God that Ishmael might live before him. He thought, “Surely this is the promised heir. I cannot expect Sarah to have a child in…

Message: From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. John 1:16                       The Lord’s marvelous, loving kindness     Have you ever felt as though you are sinking into a depression? It feels almost like a real weight upon you. At times we think we will never get through this time. But after just one glimpse of God’s everlasting love, we are near God’s right hand.…

Message: In love, the Son of God literally gave Himself for me. This puts in personal terms the great transaction of Calvary.     We all may get sick at some time in our life or see family, friends ill. It can be very upsetting to see that person suffering. Our God does not want us to be afraid or anguished. His Holy Spirit teaches us to sing, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,…

In everything gives thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1Thessalonians 5:18.     Thinking about prayer intently. There are so many concerns that have an effect on our lives. Do we worry? No, as Christians we take it to the Lord in prayer. In times of hardship, worry, and when we have praises and much thankfulness, call on Jesus. I love the hymn “What a friend we have in Jesus”. The words say…

Message: God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pain.              Before I was afflicted     The way to a stronger faith usually lies along the rough path of sorrow. Only as faith is contested will faith be confirmed.We don’t know if our experiences are similar to all of God’s people, but the grace we receive in comfortable and easy times could lie on a penny. The…

Message: God’s giving deserves our thanksgiving.     Prayer, do you ask God for mercies. If they are not answered right away do you wonder why? Well, God’s mercies are given according to His timing.     Just when we need a mercy, and when the mercy is much more a mercy because it is so timely, that is when it comes. If it had come later, it might have been too late, or at any rate it would not…

What tomorrow may bring God has given us a memory, that we may look back. It would be well if We used our memories better, to remember, reflect and repent. God has Not given us eyes to pry into the future. He unveils the past for our Penitence, but He veils the future from our curiosity. Dark days may be near at hand for some of us, but we do not perceive Them. Let us be thankful that we do…

We will not fear     The very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30) Do you Think this is a literal meaning? Well, yes it is. God’s wisdom and Knowledge are so great that He really does know every hair on your head. His providence descends to the minute dust particles in a summer storm. He numbers gnats in the sunshine and the fish in the sea. He controls All the massive planets that shine in the…

Psalm 50:15, Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you Shall glorify Me.       “Call upon Me”     Oh Lord, You see how great my trouble is! It is heavy. I cannot carry it, And I cannot get rid of it. It follows me to be and won’t let me sleep. When I rise it is still with me. I cannot shake it off. My trouble is unusual. Few are Afflicted…
