Live Triumphantly!

Psalm 23:5a
“Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies…”      


Let’s think of that phrase for just a little bit.  What kind of picture does that conjure up for you?  First of all, to me, the word table makes me think of a banquet or feast… and oh, what a feast that would be!  You did notice God is preparing that table.  When God is in the midst of it, what a grand thing it is!  God doesn’t do things just half-heartedly…no way!  God does things BIG!!  So when blessings are in store, He gets out His BIG shovel!!  Blessings ABOUND!!  You see, dear Christian, God desires the very best for us.  It’s we, ourselves, that limit God’s richest blessings.  But when we’re walking with God, obeying His Word, wow! what blessings are in store for us!! 

Let’s notice, too, God says He’s preparing that table right before us.  He wants us to see everything He has in store for us.  He doesn’t want us to miss out on anything.  His richest blessings are available to us, if we will but follow Him.

Lastly, let’s notice, God says He is preparing that table even in the presence of our enemies.  Hmmm…that should make us think a little bit.  Why does God say that?  Because He wants us to remember that we are on the winning side, Christian!!  One day, God will put all enemies under His feet (1 Cor. 15:25), and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:10).  We are on the winning side!!  Nothing causes God to fear, and nothing takes Him by surprise.  God is in control of all things, and knowing that, should cause us to live triumphantly!  That alone should give us confidence and boldness.  He is our God and we are His children…if we have turned from our sin and accepted His death for our sin.  If you have further questions concerning this, please reference any of the numerous postings I have listed for salvation.  Or, you can drop me a message or email…I’d be more than happy to share God’s simple plan of salvation with you!            
But for you, Christian, remember you’re on the winning side…and even in the midst of our enemies, God has prepared a table, a feast, if you will!  He desires that we follow Him and…

            Live triumphantly!  His richest blessings are in store!

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...

Prayer

Our relationship with Christ ought to be one of constant dependence and communion.   Prayer is a natural outflow of that dependence and communion. Prayer isn't the way to get God to do whatever we want.   Prayer is an expression of our trust in God's power, wisdom and grace.   The Holy Spirit, Our Prayer Partner 24/7 Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Prayers of the Saints are Precious Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. Prayer, Our Strengt...

Thou art with me...

  Psalm 23: 4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me;” That’s the blessing, dear Christian, of knowing Christ!   He gives us confidence in the very face of death!   That’s the first question, of course…are you truly a Christian??   I don’t plan on going into that subject on this post…but if there’s any question in your heart and mind that you’re truly saved, that you know Christ as your personal Saviour, please, please turn to the many reference labels I have concerning salvation.   That is a MUST!   …please make sure of your salvation today !     What I do wish to speak about in this post—although I’m sure I will be fairly short—is the wonderful fact that no matter what we’re facing—including death—is that we can have confidence and strength through God.   There is nothing we need to fear.   why? …because God says He is with us!   He promises over and ...
