I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. -Psalms 116:1


God bless you and happy Tuesday. A very popular song from yesteryear is “I love the Lord” as sung by Whitney Houston. If we were to examine the song we’d see steps. 


The first few steps, verses or stanzas are ones that all will sing based on the cycles of life. 


 “I love the Lord. He heard my cry and pitied every groan. Long as I live and troubles rise, I’ll hasten to His throne.”


The words resound through our souls as God’s faithfulness is celebrated, but what is clearly on display is the contrast of His faithfulness as compared to our unfaithfulness. 


In life surely we will cry, and just as surely God captures the sound in pity even though the source of our trouble can more often than not be traced back to our straying from His presence. 


If we were really honest we’d admit trouble is birthed of our retreat from Godliness. Please note how close our cry is to our statement or ovation of love.  


I noticed that any decrease in meditating on Him results in an increase in carnal thought. Any decrease in prayer results in an increase in worry. 


It is our human frailty that rushes away from the benefits of holiness. Keeping our perfect peace requires a rehashing of the truth of God that is unwavering and continuous. So whatever we rehearse in our minds is what we serve. 


Beloved rehearse, rehash, and draw near to His throne with even greater feverancy so that  the draw of human tendency is held back as the spiritual pull grows stronger.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
