He is There!

Wow!  I can't believe how long it's been since I've written anything in my blog.  Not that a lot of people tune in to check out what I have to say...but it's the people that do tune in, and more importantly, those that need to hear some of the things I have to say, that make it all worthwhile!

I have a question for you!  How have you been doing?  You--personally!  Are you doing good... or are you just pluggin' along?  Check your attitudes...check your emotions...they're a sure-fire way to see how you're really doing! 

We tend to be a very emotional people.  If we're happy and excited...we show it.  If we're down and discouraged, we show that as well.  There's an old saying: we tend to "wear our heart on our sleeve."  (actually, it's from Shakespeare in Othello!)  It just means we tend to be very open with our emotions.  That's not always a good thing, particularly if you're down and discouraged.  Let me encourage you a little and remind you of something as well.  Yes, we can go to a spouse or a friend or a family member...but we should always remember God and His Word is always there for us.  He has promised He will never leave us, nor forsake us.  What a precious promise that is!   As all of God's promises are...very precious!  Here's a few others for the times that try you!

Discouraged
Psalm 31:24 "Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."

Psalm 27:1 "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

Psalm 27:14 "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord."

Worried
I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you."

Philippians 4:6-7 "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee; because he trusteth in Thee."

Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Lonely
Isaiah 41:10 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness."

John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

Deut. 33:27 "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms."

Psalm 147:3 "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."

Depressed
Psalm 34:17 "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."

Isaiah 43:2 "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."



You know what is so precious about God's Word?  It is alive and powerful...and ready to meet our deepest need!  Any one of these verses can be used for any problem you may have!  Why is that?...because we serve a loving Father Who cares about meeting your deepest need.  Go to Him...trust Him...and always know that He is near!

And dear friend, if you do not know God as your personal Saviour, that is your DEEPEST need!!  I have focused on that subject time and time again.  I will not again today...but please feel free to check through my archives for the subject of salvation...and please do not hesitate to ask me any question.  I would be most happy to answer you!


Always remember...He is there!

               Trust Him to meet your every need!

What Christmas Is

Christmas is not just a holiday.  Nor is Christmas just about a baby being born in a manger.  Yes,  we celebrate Jesus being born--and don't minimize this--if Jesus hadn't been born of a virgin, He would not have been God!  Jesus Christ is God Incarnate, God in the flesh!  And wonder of wonders that God would come to this earth--why? to die for mankind!  How precious, how wonderful that is!  That is the truth of Christmas--Jesus Christ was born so that He might die for us!!  That is the wonder of Christmas-- Jesus coming to earth to provide salvation to lowly sinners like you and I.  But that really is only the beginning.  Christmas is all about Christ and the gospel--His death, burial, and resurrection.  Once you start to tell about God Incarnate, you just must tell the whole story!  John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlast...

All that I Need

Psalm 23:1 "...I shall not want."                                                      This is rather a continuation of the last posting.   Although I'm not inclined to use other versions of the Bible, sometimes it is good just to get an idea for study purposes.   Course, if I were a student of the Hebrew and Greek, I suppose that wouldn't be necessary.   At any rate, other versions would state it this way: "There is nothing I lack," or, "I have all that I need."     God is so good to provide us everything that we have need of.   Course, our problem a lot of the time is, we get our wants and our needs mixed up.   Especially here in America, we have more than enough...certai...

sanctified, and meet for the Master's use

Let me first apologize for not checking into my blog in a long while.  Not that I’ve ever been very consistent or constant, but I’d like to be.  I know I don’t have thousands of readers; but I do have some…and God seems to be using this blog to some degree, so for that I am thankful. Let’s see if I can get back to the subject at hand…the 23 rd Psalm!   We had left off at the middle of verse five.   I don’t believe I touched on this last time, so let me first say, at verse five there is a change in relationship:   It changes from a scene of traveling with our Shepherd out in the wilderness and fields, to a scene of hospitality and friendship inside his tent or home.   The change goes from shepherd-and-sheep imagery to one of intimate friendship.   Get this, dear Christian: God desires a close, intimate friendship with us!   That is the greatest scene changer and thought we should capture when reading this psalm!   God de...
