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...

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 ...
