Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
I went through a lot of different hurtful things to validate myself...nothing worked.
I was at wits end and decided the only thing left was God.
I decided, on my knees, to call on God by name.
I could have saved a lot of heartache, cause now I know that God was all i needed in the first place.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
I got tired of planting grass every year then having the weeds kill the grass so that I fooled Mother Nature this year. I planted weeds and the grass killed ‘em. ;-)
Bible in a Year:
Those who know your name trust in you.
When my cat Mickey had an eye infection, I put eye drops in his eyes daily. As soon as I placed him on the bathroom counter, he’d sit, look at me with frightened eyes, and brace himself for the spurt of liquid. “Good boy,” I’d murmur. Even though he didn’t understand what I was doing, he never jumped off, hissed, or scratched me. Instead, he would press himself closer against me—the person putting him through the ordeal. He knew he could trust me.
When David wrote Psalm 9, he’d probably already experienced much of God’s love and faithfulness. He’d turned to Him for protection from his enemies, and God had acted on his behalf (vv. 3−6). During David’s times of need, God hadn’t failed him. As a result, David came to know what He was like—He was powerful and righteous, loving and faithful. And so, David trusted Him. He knew God was trustworthy.
I’ve cared for Mickey through several illnesses since the night I found him as a tiny, starving kitten on the street. He knows he can trust me—even when I do things to him that he doesn’t understand. In a similar way, remembering God’s faithfulness to us and His character helps us trust Him when we can’t understand what He’s doing. May we continue to trust God through the difficult times in life. .
Reflect & Pray
Recall a tough situation when God showed you His love and faithfulness. What else did you learn about His character? How can this encourage you today?
Father, You’re always faithful. Help me trust You. Let difficult times draw me closer to You.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.
A blessed Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost (Orthodox) to all!
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
Yesterday at Comanche Lake:
How's everyone doing this morning?
