GOD IS IN CHARGE

Psalm 65:1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. There is no aspect of our lives that the Heavenly Father cannot take care of. Nothing overwhelms Him. No matter the doubt in people's hearts they still call on the Heavenly Father. Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psalms 65:5 You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. There was a time as a child we could wonder how He could hear all prayers and deal with all requests and supplication. We could not see His Majesty, His omnipotence and Sovereignty. Yes His power is unlimited and so true it is. Then that which separates us from Him, He has taken care of through His Son who paid the price: Psalms 65:3 Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ ...

GUIDED THOUGHTS

Psalm 64:10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. Why people could carry such evil thoughts in their heart against another. It should not be strange to us for it has been so since the fall of man. It was because of this that the flood came to wipe out all mankind Genesis 6:5 The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil.  Did it become better eventually? Jeremiah writes: Jeremiah 17:9-10 “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” What should be strange is if who are believers enable these thoughts. That should never be! (Help us Good Lord) Psalms 64:2-6 Hide me from the plots of this evil mob, from this gang...

HE GIVES US VICTORY

Psalms 63:3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! What is life without God's love?  David made this assertion when he was in the wilderness in Judah. We could forget that when we talk of the Heavenly Father, we talk of the highest authority that be. No government or power in the heavens or earth can compare. For He created all the universe. Why do we act like we sometimes forget who God is? It is because of troubles, trials, pleasure, flesh, hearsays and of course fear. In such times and all times we need to reawake our experience as David did. Psalms 63:2 I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. We are quick sometimes to forget His victories and battles He has fought and won for us. The same way the children of Israel at their time doubted the One who parted the red sea. Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? It takes a person wh...

ALL POWER BELONGS TO GOD

Psalm 62:1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation. How lovely the message translation begins this Psalm. Psalms 62:1 (message) God, the one and only -  I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so why not? The next comes with the introduction of Christ: Psalms 62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. Yes the rock, the foundation: 1 Corinthians 10:4  And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. There has been a great falling away, confusions, heresies, lies, lustful desires, love of money, manipulations. HOW MANY STILL STAND? Psalms 62:5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. What really is your persecution, how many work against you? Psalms 62:3 So many enemies against one man— all of ...

Reality Check - BE SERIOUS WITH GOD

Luke 9:62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” God takes us seriously, He is God, He does not play around. So when you come to Him you must know what you are doing. Many miss this fact and they allow so many things to take their mind away from the most important things. The Lord does not bother us, He allows us to live our life here on earth but just as He commanded the first man in the beginning, we should know when not to cross the line. When you commit to God stay in that commitment it is not a game or a joke it is real! Psalms 61:5 For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name. Colossians 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Two major things in this Psalm: Psalms 61:8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day. * Praise to His name forever and * f...

REALITY CHECK 4

1 John 4:10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. We have established that God is the One we submit to and that He is the One that assures us eternal life, and endless time of bliss after our time here. The question then was how did He do this? Here is the answer. John 3:16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.  Christ Himself revealed this in His conversation with Nicodemus who wanted to know about eternal life. He did not stop there but revealed more: John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. No one ever could make these bold statements not before and not after His revelation on earth. No one else can offer eternal life - NO ONE!  There was no one sent before or after Christ that can make these bold claims, they have...

REALITY CHECK 3

Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Almost everyone living today accepts that there is a divine power that controls the universes. In science they could call it a force, in philosophy they could call it a powerful mind, in religion we call God! What is the story, the story is that life began from Him. So many religions come with their definition of God, some talk of the One God and lesser gods, some have multiple Gods. If you have carefully studied all religions and beliefs, you will find out something. None really have an assurance of eternal bliss! Wait! Only Christ could make the bold statements! Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Only Christ has seen and can reveal the One God, the Heavenly Father! John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. Bu...
