DISAPPOINTMENTS

Disappointments come to all of us; and the more I see of life, the more convinced I am that one of the most important lessons anyone can learn is how to handle these disappointments. One of the great disappointments in my youth happened during my sophomore year in high school when I was running for class president.

The class elected a cute brunette cheerleader. Another popular girl, another of the cheerleaders, came in second. And I trailed the field with only four votes. That was quite a blow to a cocky young boy to be defeated by not one, but two good looking cheerleaders. I felt that all my friends had deserted me.

It is sometimes hard to see God's hand in things. We may not understand why things happen the way they do. But God has a way of working through things, and fashioning our disappointments into something worthwhile. The girl who defeated me in the class election later became my wife!

Prayer: O God, make us aware of your presence day by day. Help us be assured that all our disappointments can be turned over to you, and our lives can be strengthened and renewed. Amen.

Onward Christian Soldiers

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, or National Guardsman
Feel alone or forgotten.



O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8



Please Lord, watch over our children during the upcoming school year. Please protect their minds, their bodies, their souls. In Your Name, Amen.

Prelude Of Praise

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Psalm 150

I will sing praise to Your name forever, that I may daily perform my vows. —Psalm 61:8

We enter a concert hall, find our seats, and listen with anticipation as the members of the orchestra tune their instruments. The sound is discordant, not melodic. But the tuning is simply a prelude to the symphony.

C. S. Lewis suggested that’s how it is with our devotional practices and even our worship services. Sometimes they sound discordant, but God hears our prayers and praises with fatherly delight. We are really preparing for participation in the glorious symphony of heaven. Now we are making a minuscule contribution to the harmonies of angelic and redeemed hosts. But our adoration, though feeble, pleases the heart of the Divine Listener more than the finest rendition of earth’s greatest orchestra.

Are we eagerly awaiting our participation in heaven’s symphony of praise? Are we joyfully participating in the adoration that delights the heart of God? Or do we regard devotion as more of a discipline than a delight?

Our attitudes will be transformed when we realize that praise delights God’s heart. Praise helps us to tune our lives to heavenly harmonies.

Praise is an indispensable preparation for the worship that will be our eternal joy. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Ps. 150:6).

Joyfully, heartily resounding,
Let every instrument and voice
Peal out the praise of grace abounding,
Calling the whole world to rejoice. —Routley

The heart filled with praise brings pleasure to God.
Bible in One Year: Psalms 148-150; 1 Corinthians 15:29-58

[Jet Jaguar]

Howdy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you, Rus....have a blessed Lord’s Day!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Excuse me. I did not say Howdy!

I said Hi!

Is the paint getting to you perhaps? :)

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

I urge everyone to go to Jack Van Impe and find out what station and time that Jack Van Impe Presents comes on in your area (Click TV Program and you can watch online too). He has been on air for more than 20 years and takes the headlines of the world and shows how it related to the bible, NOT HIS OPINION but actual SCRIPTURE backing it all up.

I used to watch the show in the early 80's and back then he said the same things as now as to the signs that would happen before Christ returns. But back then not all the signs had been fulfilled, but in the last 20 years or so, they have been fulfilled and now Jack talks about and is excited because he believes we will see Christ's return in our lifetime, he thinks the rapture is super close. He has been all over Obama--you guys must watch, it will make you understand so much of what is going on, BTW Jack watches Glenn and Hannity, and he SCOLDS Obama almost every show now because Obama is doing things against God and the Bible.

Dr. Van Impe used to work with the Rev. Billy Graham and is not a crackpot or conspiracy theory person, he is the real deal, doing the work of God but only uses the Bible to back himself up. Seriously everyone, please find time to check out his show, it is only 1/2 hour a week, he doesn't beg for money, but does sell videos on certain topics (like the New World Order---I have it and it is GREAT) to keep the show on the air. He is not weird or anything (like those fake teleevangelists) but is VERY excited about God and you won't find anyone more knowledgable. You guys will like his show, you can also view past shows FREE on his website, believe me he is right on target with what is going on with Obama...he knows everything that we know about Obama's past associations, it is like watching Hannity with a bible twist--I am a very discerning person when it comes to God and people preaching his world, and this is a person I truly 100% trust in telling me the truth about what the word says about all that is going on.

This is not just some stupid radical dem President--there is so much more everyone needs to know and btw those who seek the return of Christ and watch for it, will receive a crown in heaven for doing just that.

I feel God put this on my heart to tell everyone, so please check it out...its free.
