"LORD Lift Us Up" 

Psalm 28 is yet another prayer by David asking The LORD for deliverance. The LORD is my Rock. Unto Thee will I cry. Be not silent to me. David cries out once again to The LORD for help. He knows Who The LORD is. He knows He can Trust Him. He is our Rock. David pleads with The LORD to answer back. There are times I feel like I will stop breathing unless I hear The LORD speaking to my heart. And the best place to hear His Voice is away from all the chaos and noise of the world.

Hear my voice… David cries out. “when I lift up my hands toward Thy Holy Oracle” Simply put this is a matter of heart surrender…sincere prayer. David goes on “Draw me not away with the wicked…” Don’t count me with the wicked ones who are secretly out to hurt others. They don’t care what The LORD says.

Blessed be The LORD!!! David’s prayers were heard. The LORD hears our prayers also. The LORD is my Strength and my Shield…and with my song I will praise Him. I woke up this morning thinking too much as usual. I once again went to The LORD in prayer with a troubled and saddened heart. I anxiously got up and went to His Word. As I was studying, I pictured a scene from yesterday with my grandsons. I had pulled the older one down and was pretending like I was whipping him. He had been aggravating and we were teasing each other. As I pretended to whip him, He was crying out pretending to be upset. Little brother quickly came to him, got down on the floor, put his arms around big brother and said “It’s okay bubby, it’s okay” We both quickly got up and let little brother know we were just playing. No matter what we are going through, big or small, as a Child of God, He quickly hears our cries. He quickly reaches down, wraps us up in His Loving Arms and reminds us that it’s okay… everything will be okay. We can put our Trust in Him. He will never fail us. He gives us strength. He IS our Strength. He lifts us up. And I’m not even teasing about that. He has Proven it to me time and time again.

Lord lift us up where we belong, where the eagles fly…

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
