Psa 41:1 Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. Psa 41:2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. Psa 41:3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. Psa 41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Psa 41:5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die,...

Psa 31:1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Psa 31:2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! Psa 31:3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; Psa 31:4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge. Psa 31:5 Into your hand I commit my...

Psa 26:1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not slide. Psa 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. Psa 26:3 For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. Psa 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

Thursday, September 30 Grateful Forever So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever; we will show forth Your praise to all generations. Psalm 79:13 Recommended Reading Rev. 5:13-14; 7:11-12 Our English word "gratitude" is derived from the Latin gratia which was associated with the ideas of grace and gratefulness. For the Christian, a lifetime of experiencing the grace of God should result in a lifetime of gratitude, expressed in praise and worship to God. According to the Handbook of Positive Psychology (Oxford University Press, 2002), a grateful person will be characterized by behavior that...

23rd PSALM now known as 2010 Obama is the shepherd I did not want. He leadeth me beside the still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican party. He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over. Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged home forever. I am glad...

Whom have I in heaven but thee?  So cried Asaph the psalmist. It is an astonishing moment in the history of man, for Asaph had looked upon the wicked and seen how they prospered. His feet had well nigh slipped, he says. Yet he held fast to two truths that had been revealed to him. The first is that the wicked, by their very deeds, become hard of understanding, and in the end go down to slaughter, like the witless beasts. The second is that, in a way that batters down the fortress of death itself, the just man...

Psalm 118: 1 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 550 BC (for the sake of argument) is when this Psalm was written. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good…… Fast forward to 1621 in a little colony in what is now Massachusetts, we again see people gathering together to give thanks. Who were they giving thanks to? Did they throw the celebration as thanks to the Indians for not killing them? Was it done to show the people back in England and Holland how successful they were in the new...

Psalm 2009 FIRST BOOK OF GOVERNMENT ....PSALM 2009 Obama is the shepherd I did not want. He leadeth me beside the still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.

I waited patiently for the Lord. (Psalm 40: 1) Be patient… Patience is a virtue...Patience, Patience, Patience! Having patience is really difficult! Isn’t being patient (waiting on God) much harder than walking out in our faith? It seems that some of us have been waiting forever for our circumstances to change. We can feel trapped. And feeling trapped makes us wonder what is actually going on behind the scenes, and why aren’t our circumstances changing? Even though I suffer with having a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy, I can sit here and say that God has been quite merciful and...

From an e-mail I received: Obama is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leadeth me beside still factories. He restoreth my faith in the Republican Party. He guideth me in the path of unemployment. Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the bread line, I shall not go hungry. Obama has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over my income, Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life. The Democrats and I will live forever in a rented home. But I am glad that I am an American, I am...

In light of contemporary political and social and religious conditions in the United States, I want to look at Psalm 2. Psalm 2 is not only a Messianic Psalm, but also a prophetic warning to the Gentile nations to serve the LORD Jesus Christ in the Church Age. The context is the Gentiles nations, not Israel. Psalm 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. 1. “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:…”

Psalm 42:11 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Psalm 104:24 24 O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 5:11-12 11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. 12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.

PSALMS CHAPTER 139 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto...

“Green Up, with the Word of God” (Psalm 1)Like I’m guessing yours was, my lawn was in miserable shape just a week ago. So many weeks of hot summer sun had taken their toll. The grass was dried up, it had stopped growing, and the lawn was looking brown and bare and ugly. But what a difference a few days of rain makes! All of a sudden my lawn has “greened up.” The grass has grown more in the last few days than it has in the couple of weeks beforehand. A lawn needs a steady diet of water to...

O Lord, why does life have to be so hard? I cry out but I hear no answer. I pray to you and ask you to help me be a better person. I work towards that goal thinking that I'm in partnership but persist in making mistakes. I do 10 things and 9 of them will turn out perfectly but it's the 10th thing -- the one that I mess up -- that gets all the attention. Why am I not appreciated for the things that I do right? Why does the one thing that I mess up have to be the most...
