On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand

 A Song of David- Psalm 26 – David was being falsely accused. Ugh! I hate it when people get the wrong end of the stick and run with the rumor mill. It’s frustrating when you can’t tell your side of the story, or when people refuse to listen to The Truth. David kept defending himself, not out of pride but out of righteousness. Once again, He seeks The LORD for deliverance and promises to give God ALL The Glory!

LORD, You be the Judge over me and prove my innocence in this situation. Examine me, test me and try me. Look closely at my heart. I depend on Your Faithfulness. You are ever Loving. I don’t run around with troublemakers. I have nothing to do with dissemblers (hypocrites). I loathe being around evil people and I refuse to join in with them. LORD, I wash my hands of any guilt, so I can come to Your Altar. I Praise You with a voice of thanksgiving and tell everyone about Your Wondrous Works. LORD, I Love Your House and the place where Your Glory is. I Respect Your Sanctuary. Don’t gather me with souls of sinners. Don’t treat me like them. They are guilty of cheating people.

But as me, I am innocent; Redeem Me- Save Me. And be merciful to me. With You I am safe from all danger. You are my Sure Foundation.  And in the congregations, I will Praise The LORD.

No matter what anyone else says about you to your face or behind your back The LORD sees it all. He sees your heart. He sees their hearts. He is not fooled. He knows The Truth. Put your eyes upon Him and let Him handle it. It only matters what He says.

*My hope is built on nothing less. Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ Name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.*

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
