Psalm 23

Think about it … what do you REALLY need that you don’t already have. You probably have a comfortable place to live, a vehicle, clothes in your closet, and food in the fridge. Most of us live with abundance.

We owe it all to the Lord. Our gratitude is usually all He asks.

Go ahead, say “Thank You, Jesus.” In fact, say it all day long!

Ps. 19

The Psalmist said, “May the Word’s of my mouth and the meditation of my heart (thoughtlife) be acceptable on Thy sight.”

Every thought and every word can either be acceptable or un-acceptable. Ask God for the grace and strength to please Him with all words and thoughts.

“Blessed are the pure of heart. They shall see God.” [Matt. 5:8]

This has long been one of my favorite Bible passages. It is instruction on holy living. Worship is a lifestyle, not an event.

A worshipper bows to the Lord in every area of their life.

Please read this passage and let God’s Holy Spirit draw you into this lifestyle.

Ps. 11

He lifts the needy but rejects the proud and arrogant. He’s always pulling for the underdog. It’s His nature.

Jesus was our example of humility and character.

WWJD? “What would Jesus do?”

Psalm 1

We are to meditate on God’s Word day and night. We are to pray day and night.

God’s Word and prayer … this is our life until HE COMES BACK.

Job 42

Life is a journey to prepare us for our end. Some make the mistake of “living for the moment” rather than considering the consequences of their sin.

Job endured almost more than a person can take, yet without sin. His wife said, “Curse God and die.” Job,however, knew that he wanted to see the approving face of hus Redeemer at the end. He continued to walk in integrity. His latter end ON EARTH was even more blessed than his beginning.

Endure the tough times. It will be more than worth it.

Job 41

Everything under heaven belongs to God. He retains ownership but gives us the opportunity to be stewards of it.

The more you think you have, the greater the responsibility to be a good steward.

Rewards will be doled out according to the faithfulness of our stewardship.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Job 38

God is the Author of order. He has established laws for everything, including the heavens. When we look up into a starlight night sky, we don’t see chaos or disarray. We see order.

Men bring disorder … God brings order.

One half of our garage (my wife’s half) has order. My half, not so much.

God is a always watching you. His eye is upon the righteous.[Ps. 33:18]

He protects you. He guides you with His eye. You are the apple of His eye.

The way you protect your eyes, He much more so watches over you.

Job

This is one of the main themes of the book of Job. We should not be stumped on “why” we suffer, but look to God for His mercy and healing.

We are not to “consider” Job’s beginning and trial, but to embrace his END. God more than restored his health and fortunes.

He will do this for YOU. All God’s promises are YES and AMEN. [2 Cor. 1:20]

HOLD ON!
