The LORD is My Strength

Psalm 27:1 is one of my favorite memory verses. “The LORD is my Light and Salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the Strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”

Jesus Christ is THE Light! With Jesus in our hearts, we have That Full Light and Light repels darkness. When the wicked try to eat my flesh, they stumble and fall. The enemy is destructive and vicious. David acknowledged that with The LORD he was confident in a victorious outcome. One thing David desired was that he would be able to dwell in the house of The LORD all his days. This is the desire of all believers. Within the safe arms of God, we are protected. Trouble comes and trouble goes. But we can find strength in the midst of the troubles with The LORD> Our security is in The LORD. Storms will come but we will Not be moved. Whatever happens let us sing and Praise The LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me and answer me. My heart tells me to come to you. Help me, O LORD and don’t turn away from me.  David recognized how dependent he was upon The LORD. It’s important to acknowledge how precious life is and trust in Him. Life can change as quickly as the blink of an eye. But by the Grace of God, go I. He will never forsake us.

 Don’t be angry with my disobedience. Never forsake me. When my mother and father forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Even if our nearest and dearest turn away from us, The LORD will NEVER forsake us. Teach me Your ways, LORD. Show me the right way to live. My enemies lie about me. They attack me. I Trust in Your Goodness. Verse 14 is another great verse to learn “Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say on the LORD.”

Wait for it… Wait for it… Trust in His timing. Trust in His Wisdom. He will give you strength. Again, David says, Wait on The LORD.

And Praise Him in the Storm.

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
