Psalm 43

Psalm 43:5
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. 

Where is your heart at today? Are you struggling with discouragement. This verse is a wonderful verse of hope. The Psalmist is struggling in his life. He feels rejected by God, yet knows that his hope is found in God alone.

Take a moment to evaluate your own heart, listen to this song and praise your living hope!

Verse 9 of Romans 10 ( If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ”) was another verse on the Romans Road. I can’t say that I fully realized the meaning and importance of claiming that “ Jesus is Lord .”   Oh, I understood that I was testifying that Jesus is fully God; that he died on the cross and was resurrected; that his shed blood covered my sins and the sins of all who accept his gift of salvation. However, it took many years and many life lessons before I understood that Jesus is (my) Lord… Lord over my life . I’ve had to change some things in my life that didn’t reflect that truth and am still working on ...
