"Give God The Glory" 

The Power of God never ceases to amaze me. Nothing is impossible for Him. But yet, there are times we think circumstances are far beyond His Reach. That’s the enemy spewing lies again. Psalm 29 has David opening up a call for Praise to The LORD and describes the infinite power, the Divine Power of God.

“Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD Glory and Strength…” What can a poor man bring to a king… nothing except himself and Praise. There is nothing we can give God, besides ourselves. He alone is worthy to be Praised. He speaks to us through His Creation. His Voice is often associated with the sound of thunder. But also, with the still small Voice in the wind. The sea obeys His Voice and one day the rocks will cry out. His Voice is powerful beyond anything we can imagine. His Voice has all authority. Then why oh why do we choose to listen to the voice of the enemy?  

David goes on in several verses about how Powerful The Voice of God is and that God is The One in Control. This chapter ends by reminding my heart, once again, that He is The One that gives me strength. And He Blesses me time and time again with His Peace that passes all human understanding. And in these troubling days, I find myself becoming so very tired of the ugliness, the quick offense, the assumptions, the condemnation. I just want to hide under the covers. But I’m oh so thankful for His Peace that I have in Him and through Him. He is in Control. He is All Powerful. And whatever is going on, My God can change it to something better. 

LORD, I give you ALL The Glory today in what You have planned. I Glorify Your Name Above All Names. And when my heart becomes troubled, remind me, LORD, to keep my focus on You, help me close my ears to the lies of the enemy, find strength in the security of Your Love, and rest in Your Divine Peace. Amen

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
