 The Royal Wedding 

Through the years The "Royals" have been the picture of a fairy tale come true. Or some may believe. Many people keep up with what The "Royals" are doing and who's marrying who etc. And anytime there is a Royal Wedding the eyes of the world become focused on this "Royal" event. 
Psalm 45 is a Royal Wedding Psalm. It celebrates the marraige of a king. The psalmist praises the king's strength and beauty and righteousness. He is a warrior king. This psalm is a prophecy of Jesus Christ the Bridegroom/The King Who is marrying the church to Himself. It reflects The Goodness and Love of God. His Throne is established forever. Christ has been anointed King and the church His Bride. Because of His Love and Goodness our desire should be to share that Love with others, even if they don't love us back. We can't do this on our own. But Only through Him. Our Bridegroom is gone for awhile preparing a place for you and me. When He gets done, The Father will examine the work and let Christ know when it's time to come get us. Will it be today? Will it be tomorrow? only The Father knows. In the meantime, our job is to be packed and ready to go at any given time. Say your goodbyes. Tell everyone about Jesus. This is not our home.         Don't get too comfortable. 

Teach us, O LORD, to love others the way You do. Let them see You in us. Wash away the filth of the world, wash away the obstacles in our lives that keep us from being who You have designed us to be. Pride, self-centeredness, busyness, anger, whtaever it may be... Create a new creature within us and light a fire in our souls to invite everyone to this Royal Wedding that You have put in place.  Let us celebrate His Love. 

You're Invited!

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
