Restoration and Healing

Psalm 23:3a
"He restoreth my soul..."

What a statement!  He restores our soul!  Isn't that the ultimate of blessings?  There is so much in this world that seems to get in the way of our fellowship and walk with the Lord...or heartaches that seem too much for us to bear.  Some things are so heavy on our hearts--on our very souls-- that it's all we can do to get through the day.  Perhaps that's the point...it's too much for us to bear...but nothing is too much for our Savior to bear!  He desires to carry our load...no matter how deep it reaches into our souls.  Sometimes I think that is the purpose for some things taking place in our life...that we might turn to God.  He desires so much for us to turn to Him, to trust Him.  Oh, that we would!

You see, God promises to not only meet our physical needs, but He also promises to meet our spiritual needs, our heart and soul needs.  Ah, dear friend, Jesus Christ, Who bore our sin debt on the cross, He is so much to us.  He is the great I AM!  He is everything to us...least wise, He desires to be. We are the only thing that hinders Him from showing us all that He is, all that He can be to us.

Of all the things God is, He is the Healer.  Oh, what a precious thing that is!  He can heal the brokenhearted.  He can save our sin-sick soul...and He will, if you just turn to Him and trust Him as your Savior today.  [For further conversation on that subject, be sure to turn to my many postings on salvation.  God would love for you to trust Him today.  It is a simple matter, but also a very necessary matter.  We must call on God, asking Him to forgive us of our sin, and trust His wondrous and gracious gift of salvation.  He died on the cross, so that we wouldn't have to; but we must accept His gift of salvation, trusting Him by faith, or that wondrous gift is not ours.]  If, on the other hand, you've just strayed from the Lord--or are in need of releasing a heartache to Him--then know for a certainty--God desires to meet that need as well.  God so desires to restore our soul, to heal us of our greatest heartaches.  Healing...is that what you are in need of today, dear friend?  What a precious word that is--healing! 

       
I hope you indeed find healing today!

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...

Real Christianity

I love flowers--all flowers--but these are petunias in particular.  I'm showing a photo of not only a seedling that has germinated and grown, but also the full-grown beautiful flowers.  They're planted that they might bloom, bringing forth its full fruit of a flower.  That is what we are meant to do as Christians!  We are saved that we might grow and bring forth fruit.  Jesus said in my first Bible reference, "Ye shall know them by their fruits."  Do people see Jesus Christ in you?  Do people see a difference in you?  Are you producing fruit for His kingdom?  Please read further!  Please be certain that you are Christ's and have a home in Heaven--not just following a crowd.  May Christianity be real in you! Matthew 7:16-27   Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.A good ...
