Don't Be Silent! Give Thanks To God!

"Don't Be Silent! Give Thanks to God!" 

 Psalm 30- A Pledge of Praise for the dedication of the house of David (which may be about the dedication of The Temple) - Whatever the case may be, how fitting for Thanksgiving Day!

“I will extol Thee, O LORD; for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.” LORD, You have lifted me out of troubles. My enemies have no reason to laugh. I will Praise You. I called out to You and You healed me. LORD, You have kept me alive. Sing unto The LORD, all ye saints of His, and GIVE THANKS to Him, The Only One Worthy of Praise.  His anger lasts only but a moment. He is quick to forgive. Trials and Tribulations will come in this life and it may seem like the darkness will never lift. But just like the darkness in the night, the sun will rise again…joy will come in the morning.

And in my prosperity, I said, I shall never be moved. I thought nothing could hurt me. But then trouble happened for David, just like it does for us. and for a moment he had felt like God had turned his back on him. He was confused and troubled. He cried out to The LORD “What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy Truth?” David tried to reason with God in the time of his trouble. And The LORD heard His Prayer.

Vs 11-12  shares the joy that David felt when God turned his circumstances around. “Thou hast turned me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;” “To the end that my glory may sing Praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give THANKS UNTO THEE FOREVER!!!

Give God The Glory! And Keep Your Eyes upon Him despite how the storm may be raging around you.                                   

Don’t be Silent- GIVE HIM THANKS!

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
