Oh, the Blessings of God!



Psalm 23:5c
“…my cup runneth over.”


My, what a long time it’s been since I’ve written!  I am so sorry.  We all tend to get busy with the things of this life, and some things just get put on hold.  I will try to do better!


Last time, I ended with the thought that our cup should be running over…rather a lead in to this next section!  Our cup should be running over; the blessings of God truly abound!

I think for this section, I am just going to recount each promise phrase that is spoken of in this psalm:

(1)     Promise of Shepherding: tending, feeding, and guarding His precious sheep

(2)     Promise of Providing: providing for all our needs
   If we will cast all our cares on Him, He will meet those needs
   A God-centered life brings peace and contentment

(3)      Promise of Rest
  God knows just when we are in need of rest---and He provides it

(4)     Promise of Leading
  God leads—we are to follow!
 We must remember His way is always perfect!  His way is always best!

(5)    Promise of Restoration & Healing
 God heals us of all our heart and soul’s turmoils and hurts

(6)    Promise of Righteous Living
 If we follow Him and His leading, we’re going to live righteously

(7)    Promise of His Presence
 Trust God—He is with you
 God is our strength and confidence

(8)    Promise of His Protection and Comfort
(9)    Promise to Live Triumphantly
 Follow Christ and blessings will abound

(10)  Promise of Sanctification and the Master’s Use
A walk and work with God—working in and through us


There are so many precious promises throughout God's Word.  I do believe these rank right up near the top!

I hope this little review was a blessing to you.  Never forget all His many precious promises!

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 ...
