God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 1 November 2012"

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 89:15 "Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!  They walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance."

Psalm 89, begins with praise and ends as a psalm of lament.  It celebrates God's covenant with David, and then laments on how David's descendants had not remained faithful to the provisions of the covenant.  Yet even in the face of unfaithfulness, this psalm reaffirms God's faithfulness to His covenant and its ultimate fulfillment in David's greater Son, the Messiah.  This psalm has: (1) Praise to the Lord (2) A celebration of God who established His covenant with David (3) A review of the Covenant with David (4) A consternation at a time of national distress (5) Complaint to the Lord to provoke him to remember His covenant and (6) to restore the fortunes to His people.

As Christians, and as believers, there is a better way.  Whenever we face a problem, and it starts to overshadow our thoughts, we need to humbly approach the Throne Room of Grace, through Jesus Christ, His Son, and bring the matter to our Abba Father.  God loves when we talk with Him about our problems and desires, and to have us look at it in the Light of His Strong and Loving Presence.

When we approach God, we receive some much needed space between us and our worries and concerns, which then will enable us to see from God's perspective. You will be surprised at the results that this will bring, and it will strenghten your Confidence, your Faith, and your Trust in the Lord.

Sometimes, we may even laugh at ourselves for being so serious about something that was so insignificant.  Jesus told us that while we lived here upon this our temporary home, in these our temporary bodies, that we would face trials and tribulations, and that He would help us through them for He would Never Leave nor Forsake us if we but come to Him for help. 

We need to ALWAYS remember that Jesus is our BEST FRIEND and our ADVOCATE before God the Father.  What a victory is to know that Jesus is the best DEFENSE attorney in the entire universe and that He is the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever.  May we each day Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, physical, or financial dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."

JESUS REIGNS!!!  May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.

Your Sister in Christ,
