"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 30 August 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 62:5-8 "My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is for Him. He is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is refuge for us."
Thoughts of confidence and trust predominate in Psalm 62, making this psalm a "psalm of confidence." The expressions of trust found in verses 1,2 and 5 and 7 are rich with figures that picture the absolute stability of being found in God. At least five nouns describe God's protection: Rock, Salvation, Defense (verse 2), glory and refuge (verse 7). The lament verses of 3 and 4 concerns his enemies. However, from his confident position, he is able to exhort others to trust in the Lord (verses 8-12).
Jesus is the culmination of our hopes and desires. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: who is, and was, and is to come. Before we knew God, we expressed our longings for Him in hurtful ways. We were vulnerable to the evil around us in the world. But God's Presence, shields us, enfolding us in His Loving Arms.
God has lifted us out of darkness and into His Marvelous Light. Jesus will bring many pleasures into our lives, so we as Christians need to receive God's Blessings with open hands, and enjoy His Good Gifts and cling to them. Always turn your attention to the "Giver" of all "Good Things" and rest in the knowledge that we are complete in Him.
The one thing, that we as Christians need, is the one thing that we will never lose: His Presence that is always with us. He has promised us that He will NEVER LEAVE nor FORSAKE us, and that we are sons and daughters of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Today in this my day of sorrow I am clinging to that promise of His being with me when the sea of my life is smooth and especially when the storms of my life fall upon in me. How wonderful it is to know that I can jump into my Savior's Arms and feel His Loving, Strong and Protective Arms around me.
Have you been to Jesus for this Free Gift of Salvation? Have you felt His Presence when you are down and need him the most? Do you feel His Strength and His Arms around you as you have trials and storms in your life? If not, why not come to Jesus TODAY, and be assured that when you are sinking in the storms of life, and you call out to Him, He is there to pull you up, and to Strengthen and Comfort you. If you will open your hearts door, to the calling of the Holy Spirit, you will be assured that when you live this our temporary home and you stand before Almighty God, and He opens the Book of Life to your name, it will say, "WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB" and he will welcome you into the kingdom that He has prepared for us, who are His children, where we will spend all eternity, basking in His Love and Light.
Today's Biblical Truth: To lift our hands to the Lord, expresses dependence on Him, coupled with an acknowledgement of His Power, Wonder and Majesty."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, physical, or financial in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12
JESUS REIGNS!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with all of you.
