I was envious of the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Psalm 73 verses 3 and 17.
Don’t look at what others have. Concentrate on your own life.
The grass is never greener on the other side it just looks that way.
Live a life pleasing to the Lord, and everything will fall into place.
The wicked and the foolish will get their own just rewards.
Sing, unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that ride the upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Psalm 68 verse 4.
Who is he, and what is his name?
He is the Lord almighty who called the things that are not into existence.
The one who rides on the wi d in Majesty and Glory.
The one who kills and makes alive.
The one who has the power to destroy every living creature on the earth with the wave of his hand.
His voice is like thunder, and from his face, the heavens flee away and tremble.
Great is his faithfulness to his people.
Great is his love and mercy. His compassion is renewed all day long.
…they say who shall see them?
Psalm 64 verse 5
We must remember who God is. He is the almighty.
The one who can make the earth his footstool.
Nothing is hidden from God.
God sees everything we do.
We can not fool God.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Psalm 61 verse 2 and 3
The world around us is in turmoil. There are wars and rumors of wars. There is fighting in the streets, killings, drugs, trafficking and more taxes, and less money. This all can be overwhelming. But God is present. He promises to never leave or forsake us.
When the going gets tough, he does not and will not walk away. He is the fourth man in the fire, covering us from all things.
We may go through the problem, but he will bring us out on the other side of the problem on dry land.
Great is the God we serve.
He is worthy to be praised.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
Psalm 55 verse 21.
We do not know the heart or mind of a person. They may speak sweet words, but sweetness is far from them.
It is best to be watchful and pray for guidance.
Live a good life pleasing to God, and blessings will flow.
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.
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
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.
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
He prepares everything for those who love Him.
He promised to go ahead and make the path straight. He will walk with you through the waters of destruction and be with you even in the fire so the flames will not burn.
He will guide you with His eyes upon you so you have never to be afraid.
These promises are His to make because He can never lie because He is God.
Of His love, there is no end and no beginning. It is as eternal and infinite as He is real, as He is true.
Lift upon your eyes on high. Lift up your heart and see the beauty of my Lord.
Is not His name Wonderful?
( Adapted from Psalm 46 and Isaiah 40, 41, and 42)
