"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 2 October 2014, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse:
Psalm 71:5 "For You are my hope, O God; You are my trust from my youth."
Psalm 71:8 "Let my mouth be filled with Your praise, and with Your glory all the day."
Psalm 71, is a psalm of LAMENT with a major focus on the psalmist TRUST in God. This psalm alternates between expressions of DESPERATE NEED and RESOLUTE TRUST in the Lord. Verses 5-8 are rich in expressions of TRUST and COMMUNION with God.
You are HOPE in verse 5
You are my TRUST in verse 5
You are He, my PRAISE shall be to You in verse 6
You are my STRONG REFUGE in verse 7
Your PRAISE and GLORY in verse 8
The psalmist MODELS what BELIEVERS should REACT to SUFFERING. A Believer should COMPLETELY TRUST the Lord in ANY difficult SITUATION or CIRCUMSTANCE, but at the same time, CRY to God for DELIVERANCE.
In verses 9 and 18, the psalmist describes himself as an old man, and one who speaks out of mature experience with the Lord. He PRAYS for HELP, but affirms his CONFIDENCE in the One he has found FAITHFUL from his youth. Although in danger, the psalmist will "ALWAYS have HOPE and ALWAYS PRAISE God."
We today, just as the psalmist did in today's Scripture Reading, need to REMEMBER, that despite life's TROUBLES, we can COUNT on God to RESTORE us, REVIVE us, and RENEW us, as we COMMIT ourselves to Him, in a life that is in COMPLETE SONG and PRAISE to Him, as we follow the GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit each day, and PICK UP our CROSS and WALK in the Footprints of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
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, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," Listen to the Sweet, Soft, and Tender Voice of God as He WHISPERS to you, "BUT I CAN."

Jesus Reigns, and He Is, Has Been, and ALWAYS Will Be in Complete and Total Control!!! May God's Peace, Love, Strength, and Grace be with you all. May we as Christians reach to heaven with one hand and with the other reach out to the lost and dying of the dark and sinful world. May we like John at the close of the Book of Revelation say, "Come, Lord Jesus Come."
Your Sister In Christ,
Cindi
