Psalm 146

Psalm 146

Praise the Lord. If you woke up this morning, Praise the LORD! God has a purpose for you, and part of that purpose is to praise Him! The Psalmist says in verse 2, “I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.” Every day that I wake up, I will praise the Lord.

Verse 3 caught my attention. We are watching how a microscopic virus stopped the modern world. It has caused us to see the frailty of man’s plans and systems. Our ultimate hope isn’t found in a government or person, it is found in the Lord!

The Psalmist then tells us different things about God.

V6. He made the heaven, earth, sea and everything in them. He keeps faith forever.
V7. He executes justice for the oppressed
     - He gives food to the hungry
     - He sets the prisoners free
V8. Opens the eyes of the blind
     - Lifts up those who are bowed
     -Loves the righteous
 V9. Watches over the sojourners
     - Brings the way of the wicked to ruin

Wow! When you look at that list it is no wonder one should hope in the Lord! He is our help. The times that we currently find ourselves in are difficult. Yet, we must stay focused on the One who is over all.

The Psalmist ends by writing this in verse 10.

The Lord will reign forever,
    your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

This virus will not reign forever. Evil will not reign forever. Disappointment will not reign forever. Heartache will not reign forever.

THE LORD WILL REIGN FOREVER! Praise the Lord!

Luke 2-3

Merry Christmas!  Oops.  It’s a little late to be sharing Christmas greetings.  But here’s some good news.  Only 310 days until next Christmas.  In the meantime let’s look at one way we can get the most out of the 320 days.  Let’s see if we can learn a lesson from the shepherds that will help us move forward the way God wants us to. The shepherds weren’t going anywhere until they dealt with their fear.  Luke 2:8-9 tells us they were afraid on the first Christmas night.  In fact they were filled with fear.  The KJV states it in a memorable way – “They were sore afraid.” It was not just the angel that terrified them but also the visible manifestation of the glory of God. What was the glory of the Lord?  It must have been a superb light show.  The glory shone around them – a dazzling specter of light.  It was infinitely better than a meteor shower. But God’s angel had good news of great joy.  The news would calm th...

John 7-8

And the dispute continues about who this man Jesus is. They had witnessed Jesus speaking with unexplainable wisdom and performing miraculous healings. Yet some still thought he was demon-possessed, a blasphemer, or a suicidal nutcase. Verse 5 of chapter 7 tells us that even his own brothers didn’t believe in him. We shouldn’t be surprised then that it may be even harder for people today to believe that Jesus is God’s Son.    If you have settled the question of who Jesus is, and have accepted him as your Lord and Savior, it’s more important now than ever that you walk the walk, not just talk the Christian talk.  It’s true that you “may be the only Bible some person ever reads.” Let’s be the salt and light that our evil society needs. ~Elsie Shepherd

Colossians 1-2

Colossians 2 speaks of being rooted in Christ. How is that possible to be rooted in Christ? It is possible through growing in your relationship with Him, that comes with time. How long does it take for a tree’s roots to grow deep? It takes a while, it does not happen overnight. We grow in that relationship through the study of the Word, fellowship with believers, prayer and other spiritual disciplines. We grow in that relationship as we go through this life and turn to Him again and again. Reading through this chapter reminded me of this older song by Phillips, Craig and Dean. Chapter 2 speaks of being alive in Christ. We are alive in Christ! https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=_0_1jazh454 Actually, this week's Bible study touches on some of these same themes. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=_81kE14c6zI&feature=youtu.be
