Here is a Psalm for our times.
“O Lord, I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.
Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.
Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.” Psalm 25: 1-7 (NLT).
Spring is around the corner! This verse came to me while I was praying and worshiping God. Wow!
“You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16: 11 (MEV) .
What does this verse mean to you? Does it comfort you as it does me?
Don’t live your life in fear of men.
We must be willing to stand on biblical principles even if it costs us our lives.
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Matthew 16: 24-28 (NIV).
Greetings 👋
The entire Bible, Old and New Testament, is for our instruction, encouragement, and edification.
“But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.”
Isaiah 43: 1-4 (NIV).
Do you find comfort in these promises? I do! He gets into the fire 🔥 with us.
