For The Moment…76

Behold, God is mine helper…

Psalm 54 verse 4

We have God. We do not need anyone else.

He is the creator. He called into existence things that never existed. He parted the Red Sea so his people could walk to the other side on dry ground. He gave courage to a man who stuttered so he could deliver his people out of slavery. He calmed the seas. He shut the mouths of lions. He made the blind to see. He opened the wombs of women well past the age of conception. He raised the dead. He healed the sick and so much more.

God can do anything and much more.

With him by our side, we lack nothing.

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Psalm 53 verse 1

We try to sneak past God by doing good deeds, hoping we will get to heaven. But we can’t because God knows our hearts, our true motives.

Sure, we can be moved with compassion to give to the poor, to donate to some charity research foundation on the cusp of finding a  cure. We show true kindness, but many times when we are not looking, we are hard hearted in other parts of life.

We are called good but are we good all the time?

God knows the heart, and we can’t  hoodwink him. Motives are measured in heaven.

For The Moment…74

I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

Psalm 52 verse 8

If it were not for the kindness of God, life would be most miserable.

His compassions are renewed daily.

Great is faithfulness in times of trouble.

For The Moment…73

Lord thou hast drawn us after thee, so shall I run and never tire.

Hymn adapted from Song of Solomon chapter 1.

To be in that secret place of God where we could think of him and enjoy being in his presence.

The world around us will fade.

Our problems will be like nothing, insignificant.

Our desires will become his desires.

Our minds will be filled with nothing but all thoughts of Christ.

In this secret place, we will see Jesus only. And we will be refreshed.

For The Moment…72

Sometimes, you feel a distance. Maybe because you ate not right with the Lord at the moment. Sometimes things around you are overwhelming.

Don’t lose heart.

Quiet your spirit and look to the Lord.

He will never cast you away.

If you do not hear his voice or know his instruction, fear not he has not forgotten you.

Precious are you in his sight.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Psalm 51 verse 12

For The Moment…71

Don’t be afraid of those who have power, those who make decisions, those who rule over you, and control your advancement. These people are here on earth for a little while.  Like the cycle of life, everything comes to an end.

Man and his vain brief authority. 

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house increased; for when he dies, he shall carry nothing aqay: his glory shall not descend after him. Man, that is in honor and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.

Psalm 49 verses 16, 17,20.

For The Moment…70

Simple truth…

He Lives

I serve a risen Savior.

He’s in the world today.

I know that He is living no matter what men may say.

I see His hands of mercy, I hear His voice of care.

None other is so loving, so good and kind.

He lives. He lives. Christ Jesus lives today.

Today, we remember Sunday Resurrection day. Suffered on the cross. Gave up the ghost. Buried and on the third day, God raised  Him from the grave.

He is now seated at God’s right hand in the glory. There, he lives to die no more.

I will serve Him forever.

The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Hebrews 2 verse 9, Luke 24 verse 7, Mark 16 verse 6. Anonymous Hymn

For The Moment…69

In God, will I trust.

He is my rock, solid and sure when troubles come. I can hang onto him, remembering g his promises.

He is my shield. He protects me from the darts of the Devil as he wars against me.

He is my salvation. The Lord has made it possible through his sacrifice for me to be favored by God. I can come into the holy place of God to make requests. I can come to him personally, and he hears my prayers.

In God, do I trust.

For The Moment…68

Jesus wept.

John 11 verse 35

This is the shortest verse in the Bible, and yet it speaks volumes.

It as we cry, he cries with us. He is touched by our feelings.

He is with us in trouble we go through because he can not deny his love for us. He can not leave us.

He is faithful and will pull us out of the trouble. No matter where we are.

We have nothing to fear knowing he is near.

He stays closer to us than a brother.

He is our shield, and he is our great reward.

We have everything in Christ Jesus.

For The Moment…67

God reignite over the heathen: God sitter upon the throne of his holiness.

Psalm 47 verse 8

God is holy, and he reigns. He sits upon his throne, and nothing escapes his notice. In the right time he will put everything straight and in order.

There is no hiding from God. We may run from the east to the west. We may make our bed in hell. He will be there. We can not run from God. There is nothing that escapes him.

He knows all things.

He is holy.

God the almighty.
