"Delight Yourself In The LORD" 

People can be so ‘ugh” at times. Last year, I found myself saying quite often that I was tired of “peopling” and that I was done. You know what I mean? Life is too short for time wasted on junk. And my spirit was about as low as it could get.  I began double-guessing everything about myself. Things I felt, things I said, things I did. I was beating myself up so badly that I was almost too bruised to walk. At least that’s how I felt. But the more I prayed, the more I studied, the more I pulled away from the junk, I began to feel more Peaceful and finished the year with more peace than I had felt all year long.  And that’s all down to The LORD and those closest to me. Over and over in my heart, I could hear His Voice whisper “Just focus on me, Trust me!”. “Do what you are called to do. Love others. Pray for others. And keep your eyes on Me.” Psalm 37 reminds us to keep our eyes focused on The Lord, no matter what is going on around us or what others say or do. Just stay in your lane and keep your eyes focused on the SON on the Horizon.

David says in verse 4 “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of the thine heart. Commit thy way unto The LORD; Trust also in Him; and He SHALL bring it to pass.” Vs 7 “Rest in The LORD, and wait patiently for Him: … don’t worry about what others are doing. CEASE from anger, and forsake wrath: FRET not thyself in any wise to do evil.

All of us are struggling. But we shouldn’t be struggling against each other. Don’t get so upset that you react badly. STOP! Regroup. Focus on The LORD and move on. Be kind. Sincerely pray for one another, take it to The LORD, and leave it there. Those who call for The LORD for help will get help.  A humble heart is the one that will enjoy Peace. Arrogance has no place here. 

Vs 11 “But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” And recognize when it's time to dust those sandals off and move on. Time is too short and life is too fragile. "Trust in The LORD, and do good;.." Psalm 37:3

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
