Who's ways are you keeping today?

He delivered me from my strong enemy and from those who hated and abhorred me they confronted and Came Upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay and support. These words today came from psalm chapter 18 verses 17-18. It is a Psalm of David the servant of the Lord who spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul,And he said.... well you must read it beginning with verse 1. Where he fervently declares that he's devoted to the Lord and that the Lord is his Rock in the  first 2 verses. Today before I leave my house, I want to tell the Lord that I fervently  am devoted and love Him, He is my strength. Please don't wait until you face Him. In all of my six and a half decades on this planet the Lord has been my refuge. He has delivered me from many a strong enemy and from those who hated me. From those who did me wrong. God bless, Godspeed, do not forget the Lord today. Amen.

God's purpose.

For I will not contend forever, neither will I be angry always, for if i did stay angry the spirit of man would faint and be consumed before Me, and My purpose in creating the souls of men would be frustrated. ISAIAH CHAPTER 57: VERSE 16.  God purposed us to be in fellowship with Him. Made in His image. The image of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. On the way there....we decided we would part company with Them, and do our own thing. As if we had a better plan. Do you think you have a better plan? How's that working out for you? Let's see...death, pain, financial distress. The feelings of never having enough. Divorce, family members hating and fighting. Other men taking our wives, and other wives taking our men. Mean spirited world figures, destroying nations....etc and the list is endless. Yet through it all, The Heavenly Father, through Christ and the work of the Holy Ghost has boundless ever lasting mercy. If He did not have so much mercy, mankind and all of earth would be destroyed in a flash....right before God's eyes. That would be everything living. Men women and children, animals, plant life, the earthly sphere itself. That would not dismiss hell. Punishment for disobedience to The Trinity itself. Think on it. Turn to Christ while you have time. You do not know when your time runs out.None of us do. God will get tired at some point with our sin and disrespect for Him. Read this verse again and again. Realize that while we have important things to do everyday, we must regard our true Heavenly Father and His love for us. And His judgment on our iniquity. Amen....and God speed.

Some things may be eminent. Trust Him regardless.

Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the  Lord ,and He will have love,pity,and mercy for him,and to our God, for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon. Psalm 55:verse 7. This is true. Yet there are some out there that want to be angry at God for allowing bad things to happen, even to their family members. Whatever it is, remember verse 8. " For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord". Look at verse 9......"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts".  There are so many things that have happened to me in my many decades of life, as i look back i do not know why i am even here. Yet i turned back to my God, and He has helped me understand much. I understand that sin in this world is the reason for all the hate, and evil out there. It is not God's fault. We turned on Him, disregarded Him. Did and do not care what He thinks about anything. He only loves us and gave each one of us free choice. I like to say its like this.....who wants to make someone love them? I don't.  Not kids,grandchildren, wives,siblings, etc. We want them to volunteer to love us. To choose to love us. Our Lord is that same way. So i choose to honor my Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ my Lord. Love Him to the point that if He chooses to destroy me, i praise Him for that. Am i  fanatical? Yes... concerning the ways of the Lord. He is Holy,sinless,and overflowing with mercy. So much so that He allows some horrible people what seems to be way to much time to live and work their evil horrible deeds. Thank God He is full of mercy! More than me. Thank God He does not answer all prayers. For we are not so full of mercy. I know it's hard ro comprehend, yet He explains it beautifully here in the 55th chapter of psalms. I love you my Lord Jesus. Even when death is eminent, pain is eminent, heartache is eminent, and my thoughts may be be different that yours, i still love you. Even if the earth should shake, and the heavens rattle and thunder, i will praise you. Amen.

Your burdens.

Goodmorning.
This morning in a quick blog i wish to extend to you all ,these words from the book of psalms chapter 55, Cast your burden on the lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Reference 1st Peter 5:7. God bless....and God speed.

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES !

God looks down. So says David in Psalm 53. And God looks to see among the children of men if there were any who understood,who desperately required God. Oh me,in verse 3 we see that they had all gone back( backslidden) and fallen away. They have all together become filthy and corrupt.  There is none who does good no not one.Reference Romans chapter 3:10-12. In Romans the Apostle Paul tells the church in Rome, as it is written, referring to Psalm 53.  Paul explains in more detail what goes on in the hearts and lives of those who do not consider God, or care what He thinks of their lives. I know people had rather hear more positive things, but how positive could it be when sin is not repented of ? Please read all of Psalm 53, and Romans chapter 3 verses 10-18.
So today,while there is time think on these things. Tommorow for you may never come. Redeem the the time. God's speed. Amen.

I PRAY THE SAME.....

Goodafternoon to most. Maybe goodnight for others. As i live more and more, i begin to realize how dependent on the Lord i have become. I think back on my childhood all the way to Now. How time is so short. If you stay busy it flys, if you are slothful it drags. But regardless...it's gone in a flash. Many people, things ,etc i have gained and lost in life but one thing never left me. It's actually not an it,or a thing but an indwelling.  An indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Look if you will at Psalm 51. David was experiencing a personal collapse under guilt. His prayer was awesome. In vs 8 he said" Make me hear joy and gladness; that the bones that thou hast broken may rejoice." Vs 9...Hide thy face from my sins and blot out all my inquities." Vs 10, Create in me a clean heart, Oh God; and renew a right Spirit in me.  Vs 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. This is a great example of how a man of contrite spirit knows that his sin has separated him from God. God cannot look upon sin and accept it. It has to be forgiven by repentance first. While Gods Holy Spirit indwells a man when he receives Christ, this shows how when we sin we quench the Spirit of God. David admits that he is broken to the bone. Verses 12-15 David wails on and on about being restored, so he can teach sinners the Lords ways. And he admits they will be converted unto God. He admits to God that Gods free Spirit is needed for all this. Then in verses 16 and 17 david admits that the sacrifices God loves are a broken spirit a broken and contrite heart and david says "Lord, thou will not despise these sacrifices. You must have a contrite broken heart in order to repent. The Holy Ghost is the person that leads you to this point. If your lost and do not regard God, and love your sin, i pray for your brokenness. So hopefully you will cry out to God as you repent. If your back slid,  i pray the same. AMEN!
