"My Strength Comes From The LORD" 

Psalm 33 is a call to Praise. I’m so thankful for His Word which gives me comfort and strength. My soul is so weary this morning. So, Let us Rejoice in The LORD this morning. And Be strengthened through Him.  

Rejoice in the LORD, good people, O ye righteous; for it is only right for the good people to stand up and Praise Him.  Praise Him with music. Praise Him with singing. God’s Word speaks often of praising God with music; instruments and singing. “Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.” A new song; a fresh Praise to God. It should never be about entertainment or wanting applause. Praise should always come from the heart. He doesn’t even mind if it’s a bit loud.

Why should we Praise Him? Verse 4 begins by telling us that The LORD's Word is True and He is Faithful in everything He does. He alone is Worthy to be Praised. He is The Goodness. He is Justice. His Love is ever Faithful.  By His Word, He Created everything. Only The Righteous have the right to Praise God. But all the earth should fear Him and Respect Who He Is. Without Him, nothing and no one would exist. He is in Control. If He says, “Stop!” – then it stops. He can change any plans that are made. But His plans last forever. The LORD looks down from heaven and sees all the people. He created us. He knows what each of us is thinking and doing. A king is not saved by a powerful army. A soldier does not survive on his own strength. Horses don’t bring victory in war. Their strength will not help us escape. It’s only from the Power of God. It’s HIS Strength. It’s HIS Power. It’s HIS Love. No matter how tough a situation may be; no matter how heartbreaking people are. No matter the circumstances; It ALL comes back to The LORD. We are all struggling with something. Find Strength in The LORD and REJOICE!

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
