Psalm 16:1 SHELTER

Psalm 16:1-Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

This text reveals the psalmist confession of faith in God and his personal relationship with Him for He called God "my God".

David knew that as long as He is in God's protection,  regardless of what he may have to go through or suffer in his life, in spite of his enemies, in spite of persecution or adversity, in spite of opposition,  there is no need to worry nor fear for God will shelter him under His Mighty wings.

Real hope is not found in anything we have nor anyone we may know for it is in God alone where everlasting hope, trust and shelter can be found.

My prayer and hope for you on today is that you run to "SAFETY" in God. He is the ONLY "Anchor" that will be able to stand against the strong winds of test and trials on life's stormy sea.

When God is our protection, our shelter, our place of refuge, we are guaranteed VICTORY through Him.

Just like David, we ALL can find our security in God, and when we do we too can boldly proclaim that “in God we will take refuge.”

There is a storm out on the ocean  (world) and it is moving this way and if your soul is not anchored, you will surely drift away.

Are you protected? Is God your place of shelter? If not, it is still not too late. While breath is still in your body and while the blood is still running warm in your veins, you can make your confession to God right now in the name of Jesus.

In Jesus alone we can find guaranteed security because of what He did for us at Calvary Cross!

TAKE SHELTER IN JESUS ON TODAY, FOR YOU GOING TO NEED HIM!

God bless.

Proverbs 3:18- Seek And Pursue God's Divine Wisdom

Proverbs 3:18-She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her and happy is everyone who retains her.

God's Word declares that "Wisdom" is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 

The wisdom of God is the highest "Wisdom" man can attain. God alone is the all wise and all knowing, Sovereign God.

One of the ways that King Solomon describes God’s "Wisdom" is  that he says “it is liken unto a tree for those who take hold of her.”

King Solomon  goes on to say that “happy or blessed” is everyone who retains (possess) her.

King Solomon, the wisest kings ever lived was given the task of leading God's people after his Father, David died.

Solomon, now appointed King over God's people, knew that he did not have the "Wisdom and knowledge" needed to lead God's people, therefore, he humbled himself under the mighty hands of God and requested help from God in leading God's people the way God would have them to be lead them.

Solomon knew that in and of himself, he was incapable of performing his leadership role over this mass of people on his own apart from God.  In other word, Solomon knew he needed God's help and he seek for God for it.

When Solomon was appointed King, God visited him and asked him in 2 Chronicles 1:7-12 -what I might give to you.”8 Then Solomon said to God, “You have given a great mercy to David my father and have made me king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, may Your word to David my father be confirmed, for You have made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth. 10 Now give wisdom and knowledge to me so that I might know how to go before this people, for who can judge this great people of Yours?”

11 Then God responded to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart and you did not ask for possessions, wealth, and honor, or even the life of those who hate you, nor have you asked for many days of life, but you have asked Me for wisdom and knowledge that you might govern My people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are now given to you. Possessions, wealth, and honor I will also give to you; such has not been given to kings before you nor those who will follow after you.”

WOW!!! LOOK AT GOD!

As humans, we are limited in our ability. There are some things God will allow us to do in our own strength just to show us our need for Him, and then there are some thing that God will show us that we can only accomplish through Him.

Seek and pursue God’s divine “Wisdom” on today for you will be happy that you did.

God bless.

Matthew 24:42 If You Belong To Him "Keep Watch"

Matthew 24:42-Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord will come.

Watch-to be awake, give attention, close observation,  to look with expectation, guard, vigilance for keeping or protecting against danger.

We are living in a time that is described in the bible as the "days of evil" or perilous times. Times in which man is living according to what is right in his or her own eyes. A time when God has been given the back seat in the lives of many and the world and all of its ungodly, perishable pleasures have taken front row seat in the lives of many, including some of those who once confessed Christ.

One day the world and all its's pleasures will be no more. What will you have left if your soul is lost and you die apart from God?

Knowing the brevity of life, it is not only important, but it would seem to make sense that we will make every attempt to live each day of our lives as if it was our last for none of us knows when our last breath will be drawn.

Sadly, many today are living their lives as if they plan to be on earth forever. Making no preparation to one day leave here and stand before Christ.

The bible declares that Jesus will one day return to receive those that belong to Him. Yes, there will be a 2nd coming of Christ.

 When He returns, He will come as judge. Revelation 22:12-"Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

The day that Christ will return? On that day and hour no man knows. What is known is the fact that He is coming back.

Life is short and our days here on earth are short. James 4:14- How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.

At the end of our journey called life, what will we hear Christ say concerning us?

To those who have a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, here is what the Lord says concerning you.

If you belong to Christ, keep watch!

Ready or not, Christ will return.

God bless.

Hebrews 10:25 Make Your Way To The Lord's House Today

Hebrews 10:25  Let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but let us exhort one another, especially as you see the day approaching.

Make your way to the Lord's house today so that you can fellowship with the saints.

We are reminded in Proverbs 27:17-As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

In the perilous time in which we live, we need each other. We need each other's love, hugs, encouragement, kindness and uplifting words.

Three is nothing like sharing our testimony or a few tears of joy with another brother or sister in Christ at the Lord's house.

There is nothing more comforting and loving than the gathering of God's people together in one place on one accord.

Oh, the sound of praise and worship to the Father by the children of God gathered together in His House is indeed a smell of sweet perfume to the nostril of God.

Get out and fellowship with the people of God on today for you will be glad that you did.

Many have entertained angels unaware.

God bless.

Hebrews 10:15 Today Is Coming Together Day for God's People

Hebrews 10:15 Don’t stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near.

God along with your brothers and sisters in Christ are looking forward to fellowship with you in Church this morning.

Get an early start out so that in our gathering together at the Lord's House we can do as scripture says we do when we come together and that is "iron sharpens iron."

Today is the coming together day for the people of God.

Happy Sunday and God bless.

Psalm 121:1-8 MY HELP

Psalm 121:1-8- I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Thank you Lord for being a ever present help to your people.

We "LOVE" You Lord!

Psalm 23:6-Today Is The Lord's Day

Psalm 100:4-.Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Our temporary dwelling in the Lord's house is on earth. But, there will be a coming day when we will dwell in the Lord's house forever.

Make your way to God's house on today and tell Him 'THANK YOU" for keeping you from dangers seen and unseen. 

Thank Him for His mercy and His kindness that He continues to show towards you daily.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise.

Today is the Lord's Day! Enter there into His house and worship Him.

Psalm 111:1-10 Praise The Lord For All He Has Done

Psalm 111:1-10- Praise the Lord! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out by all who have pleasure in them. 3 His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever. 4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

6 He has shown His people the power of His works, that He may give them the inheritance of the nations. 7 The works of His hands are true and just; all His commands are sure. 8 They stand forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever; holy and fearful is His name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who live it have insight. His praise endures forever!

For all He has done, I will lift my hands and praise Him. For all He has done, I will try to live my life to please Him.

We all have many things we can praise God for. If we begin to name them, it will take all eternity for we will not be able to tell all that God has done for us. 

Praise the Lord our God for great are the works of His hands. Splendor and majesty are His works. 

Praise the Lord for His righteousness endures forever.

The Lord our God has done wonderful acts to be remembered by all of us.

Praise the Lord our God for He is merciful and full of love and compassion people of God.

Praise the Lord people of God for He is indeed our God, our Provider and He is worthy of our praises.

If you do not praise Him, here is what Jesus says in Luke 19:40-“I tell you, if these should be silent, the rocks would immediately cry out.” I don't want no rock crying out for me!

At 5:30 am yesterday morning, I heard the birds giving God His praise early. I said "Lord, even the birds are praising you early." 

Let everything that has breath, praise ye the Lord!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom! Do you fear Him? Well, if you do, you are counted among the wise.

God, I thank you! I give you praise dear Lord, I  worship you Lord, I magnify your name, I give you praise from the fruit of my lips, I lift your name on high dear Lord, I give you glory and I give you honor for truly you are worthy of my praise!!

Get up from where you are people of God and begin to praise the Lord your God for He is good and has been good to you. Give Him what He is due. Open your mouth wide and give God the glory.

PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!!

Glory to His name!!!

AMEN!

Psalm 91:1-8 You Are My Hiding Place

Psalm 91:1-8 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.,6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

When life's storm appears to never cease, when the sea billows continues to roll,  when the direction to take seems confusing and uncertainty seem to cloud your mind, when the troubles of life appears to rage on, God promises to be your hiding place.

The Psalmist in this text makes this declaration concerning God and Him being a hiding place to run to. "I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Where is your hiding place? Are you riding out life's storm under the wings of Almighty God? Or, are you riding out life's storm in your shelter of self sufficiency?  

God promise to you on today is to shelter you under His wings for it is in Him alone where you will find refuge for under the wings of your faithful God is your hiding place . 

Are you in need of rest from the cares of the world? 1 Peter 5:7-Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Thank You for for being my hiding place. Thank You Lord for being my shelter in life's storms. Thank you Lord for being a very present help in trouble.

Thank You Lord.

2 Peter 3:10-13 You Must Be Ready

2 Peter 3:10-13 - But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat. The earth also and the works that are in it will be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things are to be destroyed, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 while you are waiting for and desiring the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will be consumed by intense heat? 13 But, according to His promise, we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

The day of the Lord will take place at the end of the world. When is that day? No man knows, only the Father in heaven.  

What we do know is the fact that it is coming, without any doubt according to the Word of God.

Christ coming will be without warning for it will happen suddenly. He will come as a thief in the night.

The words of this text echos Matthew 24:43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

When a thief comes, he or she comes without giving prior warning. We are given warning after warning in the scriptures that the day of the Lord will come.

Everyday of our lives must be lived in preparation of "the day of the Lord."  Yes, the "Day of the Lord" is coming! Will you be ready? If not, why not? You have received your warning throughout scripture about His coming.

Be ye ready for no man knows the day nor the hour when the "Master" of the house would come. He is coming and it will be without warning.

When the "Day of the Lord" comes, I pray we all be ready.

God bless.
