Your word is a lamp to my feet
   And a light to my path.

Psalm 4:3
You can be sure of this : The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.
 
The godly are those who are faithful and devoted to God.
David knew that God would hear him when he called and would answer him.
We, too, can be confident that God listens to and answers our prayers.
Sometimes we think that God will not hear us because we have fallen short of His high standards for holy living. But if we have trusted Christ for salvation, God has forgiven us and He will listen to us !
When you feel as though your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling, remember that as a believer you have been set apart by God and that He loves you.
He hears and answers every prayer ; although His answers may not always be as you expect !
 Look at your problems in the light of God's power instead of looking at God in the shadow of your problems.
 
Great and Merciful Savior, we call out to You this day and ask for Your Glory to fill our hearts and lives.
Lord, help us to daily live KNOWING that You have heard each cry, held each tear that has fallen from our eyes. You answer our prayers and You always want what is best for each of us. Father , we thank You for loving us so much.
God be with us as we walk through this day. Remind us of Your presence in every situation that we face.
In Jesus ' Precious and Holy Name, Amen

An Interview With God, Please take time to read................
 
I dreamed, I had an INTERVIEW WITH GOD.
"So, you would like to interview me?" GOD asked."If you have time," I said.GOD smile. "My time is eternity... First questions "What surprises you the most about humankind?"
GOD answered... "That they get bored with childhood, that they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."
"That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they would never die, and die as though they had never lived."
GOD's hand took mine... and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked second question, "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
GOD replied, "To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can look at the same thing, and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
GOD smiled, and said... "Just know that I am here." "Always."

Safe In The Arms................

A little boy was helping his father move some books out of an attic into more spacious quarters downstairs. The little boy was helping his dad, even though he was probably slowing down things more than he was actually assisting. But that boy had a wise and patient father who knew it was more important to work at a task with his young son than it was to move a pile of books efficiently. Among this man's books, however, were some rather large study books, and it was a chore for the boy to get them down the stairs. As a matter of fact, on one particular load, the boy dropped his pile of books several times. Finally, he sat down on the stairs and wept in frustration. He wasn't doing any good at all. He wasn't strong enough to carry the big books down a narrow stairway. It hurt him to think he couldn't do this for his daddy. Without a word, the father picked up the dropped load of books, put them into the boy's arms, and scooped up both the boy and the books into his arms and carried them down the stairs. And so they continued load after load, both very much enjoying each other's company. The boy carrying the books, and the dad carrying the boy.

Friends, Aren't we safe in the arms of Jesus Christ every moment ! We are. Instead, every time we are frustrated with things in our life, He (our heavenly father) is always ready to get us back to normal situation. Every time we tend to fall, He is always ready to pick us up, as the father picks up the boy here from staircase. He is never frustrated with our doings. He is always ready to love us.

 LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES , BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO SPITEFULLY USE YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU. Matthew 5:44

 


13."You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.


14."You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15.Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16.In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16


NO TO THE DEATH PENALTY

...RESCUE THOSE WHO ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY TO DEATH ;HOLD BACK THOSE WHO ARE STUMBLING TO THE SLAUGHTER ... Proverbs 24,11

The death penalty is nothing more than legalized murder, or torture; a usless and obsolete notion,or an act that compounds one murder with another.

Thou shalt not kill. Exodus 20:13

 

State does not have right to take an individual’s life
Death penalty discriminates against the poor and minorities
Death penalty does not work as a general deterrent
Innocent people have been executed

 

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. JAMES 2,13

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

Praising God
 
(Psa 34:1b-8 KJV) 
I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 {2} My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
 {3} O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
 
 {4} I sought the LORD, and he heard me,
 and delivered me from all my fears.
{5} They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
 {6} This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
 
{7} The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them.
 {8} O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
 
-----------------------------------------------------
 
Praise is a natural response to God which happens as a result of knowing God. The Bible is filled with references to praising God. Praise must be expressed with words. Worship can be expressed by words or actions.
 
The dictionary says praise originally meant to set a price on or appraise. The dictionary gives meanings of: to commend the worth of; express approval or admiration of, to laud the glory of (God, etc.), as in song; glorify; extol.
 
 Praising God gets our eyes off ourselves and our problems and gets our eyes on God. When you think God is small, then your problems look large. But when you are reminded that God is mighty, then your problem looks very small for Him to fix. Praise releases faith, which causes God to move on your behalf.
 
God inhabits, or lives in, an atmosphere of praise. So, if you desire God to manifest His presence and blessings, create an atmosphere of praise.
(from Br.Bob)

and so that you could always live inside me.
please come into my heart and let me know that you are there.
I want to give you the rest of my life,
so that you can do with it what You want to do.
 
I thank you that you have heard me,
and I thank you that you have come into my heart, and will never leave me..

Lord, I know that you created everything that there is,
and that you are high and lifted up,
and that you are the Lord of the universe.
I praise you for hearing me and answering my prayer...
I know that I am on my way to Heaven when I die....
Thank you Lord Jesus.....
I am praying in your name and for you sake....

footprints.jpg

One night a man had a dream...

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord .Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene ,he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand ; one belonged to him and the other to the Lord .

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that is happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

“ Lord , you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way .But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints . I don’t understand why, when I needed you most you would leave me “.

The Lord replied : “ My precious , precious child , I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering , when you saw only one set of footprints , it was then that I carried you.”

1 Corinthians
Chapter 13
 If I speak in human and angelic tongues  but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,
it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

"Let your light shine so others may find relief from darkness! 
Today I'll try to live my life the way God wants me to.
...to get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.
Best Gifts to Give:
To your friends and siblings - loyalty
To your enemy - forgiveness
To your boss - service
To a child -  a good example
To your parents - gratitude and devotion
To your spouse - love and faithfulness
To all people - charity
To God - your life

Psalm 30 

   1I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

   2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

   3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

   4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

   5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

   6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

   7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

   8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

   9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

   10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

   11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

   12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

A LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL

 

“And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.”

 

John 12: 45, 46

King James Version

 

Are you in the tunnel of despair, loneliness, depression and heartache?  Jesus not only is the light of our salvation; He is the light of every heartache and burden that we bear.  Our loved ones and friends can encourage and comfort us, but only Jesus can put His light of compassion, tenderness and understanding in the dark, hidden parts of our hearts.

 

Jesus is more than our Saviour; He is a Friend beyond compare.  He never leaves us, not even for a second.  Many times we leave Him but He remains loyal to us.  I’m reminded of the wife who said to her husband when they were in the car driving down the street “We don’t sit close to each other like we used to do”.  The husband replied “I haven’t moved”.  Jesus hasn’t moved and never will move.

 

I heard a pastor say in a sermon “We were in a cave and we literally could not see our hands in front of our face”.  Sometimes the darkness of verbal and physical abuse blocks our vision of Jesus.  It is then that we need to cry out to Jesus from the depths of our hearts for Him to rescue us.  He is waiting for us to call Him.

 

Yes, many times we have tunnels of darkness, but sometimes we are guilty of causing tunnels of hurt in someone else.  May God forgive us if we have contributed to the tunnels of darkness in our loved ones and friend’s hearts!  If you are in the tunnel of sin today, let Jesus shine His light of salvation in your heart.

 (from sister Joanne Lowe)

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
Romans 12,21

Psalm 23

 1. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

 3.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

 6.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

THE SHEPHERD PSALM
"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want:" (Psalm 23, NIV).
This psalm is one of the most popular psalms. Many people have learnt it by heart right from their childhood. .
The thrust of the psalm is the trust in the Lord who is like a shepherd to the composer of the psalm, David. David, being once a shepherd, knew the relationship of the shepherd to the sheep. He knew how the sheep usually rely on the guidance, protection and provision of the shepherd. He therefore applied that relationship and reliance on himself and God.
Because God was his shepherd, David said he would not be in want. This does not mean that he would have all that he might selfishly desire, but all he needed. Ordinarily, sheep need two basic things - "green pasture" where they can find good food, and a place where they can conveniently drink water. So anyone who puts his total trust in God this new year will experience both physical and spiritual nourishment from God. Such person can claim the promise in Philippians 4:19: "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (NIV. See also Matthew 6:33).
Apart from divine nourishment, anyone who trusts God will experience divine restoration. As the shepherd leads his sheep to quiet waters for rest and cleansing, likewise, the Lord will restore or refresh the souls of all who trust in Him. That is He will provide forgiveness and peace to all who follow Him.
The Lord will lead all who trust in Him in the right way. He will guide them in all their ways and make sure that they do not go astray. Even if they mistakenly do, He will, because of His reputation, bring them back to the fold (see Luke 15:3-7).
Closely related to this is God's protection for all who put their trust in Him. If such people find themselves in dangerous situation, they need not fear any evil. The reason is that God is with them to protect them just as the shepherd would use his rod and staff to protect his sheep from such situation. Believers in God are never in situations that the Lord is not aware of, for He never leaves or forsakes His people (see Hebrews 13:5).
Verse 5 corroborates the affirmation of David in the latter part of verse 1 - the Lord will provide for him. As a good host provide for the comfort of his guest, so the Lord will provide abundantly for all those who trust in Him, even in the presence of their enemies!
Having realized that the goodness, love, and mercy of God would be with him throughout his life, David, in response to all these, resolved to always be in God's presence forever.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (John 10:11, NIV. See also Isaiah 40:11). What a great privilege to have Him as our Great Shepherd! However, have you made Him your shepherd? Are you putting your total trust in Him this new year? Be like David! Put your total trust in Him. You will never be in wants this year. Amen!

Eagles In A Storm..............

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly high and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to fly higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.
God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

Friends even Bible speaks the same thing in Isaiah 40:31, But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint.

Peace Prayer _St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
 
Divine Master,
Grant that I not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are born
To eternal life.

Never Alone................


"Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken" 

 (Isaiah 62:4)"Forsaken" is a dreary word. It sounds like a knell. It is the record of I sharpest sorrows and the prophecy of direst ills. An abyss of misery yawns in that word forsaken. Forsaken by one who pledges his honor! Forsaken by a friend so long tried and trusted! Forsaken by a dear relative! Forsaken by father and mother! Forsaken by all! This is woe indeed, and yet it may be patiently born if the LORD will take us up. But what must it be to feel forsaken of God? Think of that bitterest of cries, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Have we ever in any degree tasted the wormwood and the gall of "forsaken" in that sense? If so, let us beseech our LORD to save us from any repetition of so unspeakable a sorrow. Oh, that such darkness may never return! Men in malice said of a saint, "God hath forsaken him; persecute and take him." But it was always false. The LORD's loving favor shall compel our cruel foes to eat their own words or, at least, to hold their tongues. The reverse of all this is that superlative word Hephzibah "the LORD delighteth in thee." This turns weeping into dancing.

 Let those who dreamed that they were forsaken hear the LORD say,

"I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."

OH WOW!!!!! I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!!!!
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics, the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
"And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He, "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."
Judge NOT !
