Thank you.

Thank you for the gift you gave.
The little Son you sent to save.
The little guy so strong and brave
That came to earth my soul to save.
Who took my place in sins cold grave.
Yes, thanks so much for the gift you gave.

Psalm 6

An echo of the heart of David.

Lord,David cries today. His heart aches.

He cries......and I echo his cry.

*Rebuke me not in thine anger

*Do not chasten in thine hot displeasure

*Have mercy upon me

*Heal me

*Return

*Save me

*Deliver my soul

*Let mine enemies be ashamed.

David cries to you, waters his couch with tears, has waxed old because of his enemies. Lord, I to come before you with a heart of sorrow. Do not rubuke me in your anger nor chasten me in your hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me and heal me. Save me oh, Lord and may mine enemies be ashamed. Lord, for Thy tender mercies, forgiveness, healing and deliverance I give you deep praise. Thank you!

Psalm 3

An echo from the heart of David taken from Psalm 3
Lord you are........

* A shield

* My glory

* The lifter of mine head.

* One who hears

* The One who will save me from mine enemies.

* The One who owns salvation


Oh, Lord I cry to you, be my Shield. May your glory shine from my life. Lord you are the one who hears. Life mine head and save me from my enemies for you are my salvation.


Psalm 3 is a morning prayer.

1. David cried to the Lord because of his enemies.
2. He needed help and protection
3. He knew that the Lord heard his cries.
4. He was able to sleep.
5. He knew that the Lord would sustain him
6. He did not fear because Salvation belonged to the Lord. He knew that the Lord would take care of his enemies.


Other thoughts:

David cried out to the Lord for protection knowing that the Lord would save him. He praised God through out his cry for help.

The name Psalm means the book of praises or the book of praises or righteous songs.

Points to ponder
Points to ponder
~ First read John 3:3-10

v.3
and every man that hath hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1. Hope (to anticipate, usually with pleasure; expectation or confidence: -Faith, hope.)

2. Purifieth (to make clean, sanctify: purify self)

v. 4-10
When we keep the Lord's commandments he dwells in us and we dwell in him but when we do not we are allowing the devil to dwell in us.

Spirits can be tested. Those who confess that Jesus is come in the flesh are of God.

God's commandments are not grevious to those who love him. (1 John 5:3)

Psalm 1 (thoughts on Psalm 1)

Lord you are righteous.

Truths to ponder:

A man is blessed when he does not follow the the ways of the ungodly.

The man or woman that delights in the laws of the Lord and meditates on it shall prosper.

Application:

1. Study the laws of the Lord. Learn to delight yourself in them.

"The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalm 1:6

Do you Love the Lord?

Do You Love the Lord?
The Bible is full of all sorts of interesting verses dealing with a everything from creation, war, rules, love, peace, wisdom, and knowledge.

As I sat down to write you this evening I was reminded of a verse in the Bible that talks about what it means to love Christ.

You see, I think that most of us would say that we loved Christ if someone were to ask us but is that really true?

If it is, have you told the Lord lately? He is waiting to hear from you. He has even told us how to act if we do love him.

He tells us in the Bible that if we love him we will keep his commandments. "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grevious." 1 John 5:3I think it is interesting to note the last part of that verse.

Why was that piece put in there?

I believe that it works as both a statement and as a springboard for us to examine our lives. Do you find God's commandments hard to follow? Are his commandments grevious to you?

The Bible talks about a rich young ruler who thought that Jesus' command to sell all that he had was way to hard. He left without the knowledge of what it is to serve Christ.

My question for you today is do you LOVE the Lord? What has he commanded you to do for him? Will you?

The High Calling of God

The high calling of God
-a collection of verses that I found in my notes the other day.

Philippians 3:14
"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

1 Timothy 4:8
"For bodily excersize profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to came.
