"Bless The LORD, O My Soul" 

We talk quite a bit about our own Blessings but did you know that God, Himself, is Blessed? That’s an obvious answer to Yes! But do we think about how Blessed HE is? He is Great and Mighty and Powerful and Loving and Merciful. He is Compassionate and so, full of Love for us.  And HE is Good, All The Time, and All The Time, HE IS GOOD! He is Goodness, in itself. Without Him, there is no such thing as Goodness. There is nothing that He can’t do for us. and like a parent, there is nothing He won’t do unless it is putting us in a place we don’t need to be. He is over the top, ABUNDANT! And HE in All His Glory and Love for us, wants to give us abundant life. 

He is a generous Father. We don’t know what’s best for us. We don’t know the purpose of certain things in our lives. But what we do not know is that whatever circumstances we are in, it can be used for The Glory of God and we can Bless Him. One of the prayers I often pray is “Lord, show me how I can Bless YOU today!” Sadly, I feel like I fail in that prayer way too often. However; I strive to be closer to Him, every day.  He desires to give us that abundant life. He desires to pour down His Blessings over us, every day. Even when we fail to acknowledge those Blessings. The Father has joy unspeakable in His heart that exudes just how Good He is and it pours over like water spilling over the top of a glass, into our lives. *Fill my cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord. Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more, Fill my cup, fill it up, and make me whole.*

“Bless The LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, Bless His Holy Name.” – Psalm

How can I Bless You today, LORD?

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
