"Lord, We Lift Your Name On High" 

Psalm 20 and 21 go together. So, let’s study it that way. Psalm 20 is more than likely before a battle, while Psalm 21 is celebrating a victory after the battle. They are battle songs. They are also messianic, in which they foretell a coming king and deliverer; Jesus Christ.

David prayed to The LORD, seeking Victory in the upcoming battle. May The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble…We are able to go to God anytime, anywhere. He is ever Faithful and True. David is expecting Victory and already planning the celebration. He reminds his people and us that we can Trust The LORD. He will hear our cries. When others trust in their equipment, we Trust in The LORD>

Something happened the other day that I was not expecting to happen. And all I could think of afterwards was ‘Why am I so surprised? The LORD has the power to do anything. How could I ever doubt His Power?” He is so Good All The Time and All The Time He is Good.

The enemy and whatever tactics he uses can be brought down. God fights for us. David is confident that God will handle this battle and that Victory will be on the other side.

Psalm 21 Praises God for the Victory. It also speaks of the anticipated Victory brought about by Jesus Christ. He is King of Kings. Through His Sacrifice, we have the Blessing of eternal life. His Glory is Great. This psalm is a prayer of worship of all The LORD does for you and me. He fights for us. He provides for us. Through Him, we are saved. Through Him, we receive blessings upon blessings. We have Joy Unspeakable because of the LORD. Be Thou exalted, LORD, we lift You up with our songs of Praise.

Lord, We Lift Your Name on High!!!

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
