Praise!

 Scripture For The Day

Praise! 

Did you wake up with Praises for The LORD on your heart this morning? Praises that you woke up? Praises that you were able to get out of bed? Praises for your family and friends? Psalm 48 is a Praise Psalm and possibley a prophetic psalm. The Psalmist is Thankful for Jerusalem (Mount Zion) but mostly He is Thankful for The LORD. 

Great is The LORD, and greatly to be praised. Out of all the places on earth, The LORD chose Jerusalem to be His special place- and the Israelites His special people. and if you have accepted Jesus into your heart, you have been adopted into that family.  Every significant event that has and will happen was and is going to be in Jerusalem. Including, when Jesus sets up His Kingdom for the Millenial Reign on earth. So, Jerusalem is a special place to The Lord and it should be a special place to us. Beautiful for situation (location). Beautiful to look at. A source of joy for the whole earth to behold. Many people may not feel that way right now. But one day, during The Millenial Reign there will be no arguing about the importance and beauty of Jerusalem. It will be a joy of the whole earth. No other mountain or place can compare to Mount Zion. God has made Himself known here and He has made Himself known in the hearts of those who believe. We don't have to climb that mountain to be near Him. He is with us right here and right now. Kings have tried and will try to destroy God's people. But it will never happen. So, Child of God, lift up your face and Praise The LORD this morning!

Our God is Worthy to be Praised. He is our Refuge and Strength. Make sure you are protected. Make sure you have done everything that needs to be done to prepare for the enemy and his attacks. God is forever and ever and He will lead us and guide us every single day...when we seek Him.

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
