Psalm 41:12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. Like David, have you experienced betrayal? Surely for Christ experienced the same, the one He called a disciple was to betray Him with a kiss, while the one He was to make the commander denied Him thrice. John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men], And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. We cannot do without people, we all need friends, people in different aspects of our lives. However, we must know the one true friend: John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. He is the true friend, all He asks is that we dwell in obedience, for that is your part of the friendship. He paid the ultimate price. John 15:13-14 Greater love hath no man than this, that a ma...

Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. This is one of the most difficult parts of the believers walk. To wait on the Lord. I that write still struggle with this. How patient can we be living in this fast paced world? Some have thus called the Lord slow, why has the Lord delayed, why has He not answered my prayers, why has He not given me x or y? Truly it is not easy to wait, yet the waiting is the patience, it is part of our christian walk. For without patience we cannot be perfect and wanting nothing: James 1:4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Without this singular attribute of God's Spirit we cannot finish well: Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience. Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls. All those who walked in patience were able to fulfill God...

Psalm 39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am]. What will make a man so proud, to think so highly of "self", can we estimate what we are, what our flesh/self is worth? Psalm 39 says that at the highest peak of man's achievement, man is still vanity. Psalm 39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah. Psalms 39:5(NLT) You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” How foolish to keep acquiring riches, heaping and heaping them, how foolish are those politicians and people in power who loot and cart away common wealth. How much of it will they spend or enjoy. They die and pass away most times from sicknesses and diseases that money cannot heal them of. They live in pain, falsehood and fear. Worst...

Psalm 38:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. We know that the coming of the Messiah, His death and resurrection brought us out of the bondage of sin and death. This miracle David did not experience so we understand his prayers in Psalm 38. However every wrong doing has its repercussion, for the Lord has put things in place for He is the creator. There is a reward for all our actions be they good or bad. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Yes, for some, especially those who have given themselves high seats in Heavenly places, think that they are immune to the consequences of their actions. They did beware, for the bible says: Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: David saw the repercussions of his actions, he pleaded for mercy. He knew that those who hated him would take advantage to mock him, he humble...

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. We learn from David that all is not what it seems. Truly there are those the Lord granted wealth, people that may not have known Him yet He allows them to succeed. People like Nebuchadnezzar of old times who God allowed to rule and conquer. We have some of such still with us today. My belief is that everyone is born with talents and gifts, however what you do with it is up to you. It takes an encounter with the Lord to understand that everything we have received is for good works and we will account for it. The wise thing to do is to serve the Lord. This is not just going to church but shining the light of God into the world. Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LOR...

Psalm 36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil. It never pays to be counted as the wicked, for the author of life and judge of all has prepared judgment for anyone who has chosen the path of unrighteousness. What excuse does one have to walk in the path of unrighteousness? For truly it is a choice. For all temptation is common to man: 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. Thus "you are inexcusable o man". Why should anyone choose wickedness, when the Heavenly Father shows so much mercy? Psalm 36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds. For all that comes out of wickedness is punishment. See how evil it could be: Psalm 36:3-4 The words of h...
