Are you “being” these 4 things?

Psalms 50:14-15  Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Be Thankful “ Offer unto God thanksgiving” Be Trustworthy “ pay thy vows unto the most High” Be Trusting ‘ call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee” Be Triumphing in the Lord “ thou shalt glorify me”

Only God Can . . .

Only GOD can turn a MESS into a MESSage, a TEST into a TESTimony, a TRIal into a TRIumph, a VICTim into a VICTory. GOD is GOOD... all the time! ******************************************   "Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you." --1 Peter 5:7 Nothing is so sweet as to: "Lie passive in God's hands, And know no will but His." If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body? He has never refused to bear your burdens, He has never fainted under their weight. Come, then, soul! have done with fretful care, and leave all thy concerns in the hand of a gracious God. ~Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotional

I Could Sing Again

Here is another reason to be thankful. We have so much! As I was walking along the busy street of my hometown today, I heard someone singing above the noise of the traffic. It wasn’t noisy singing-almost like someone singing to himself-but I heard it. Then I located the singer. He was pushing himself along through the crowd in a wheelchair by the power of his two arms, the only useful limbs he had left. As I caught up with him, I said, “A man in a wheelchair singing gives every one who hears him a lift.” He answered, “When I stopped looking at what I had lost and began looking at all I had left, I could sing again.” See also A THANKFUL HEART

Thursday’s Thoughts

1 Chronicles 21:1  And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. I am reminded that Satan is alive and well in this earth and will be until God casts Him into the lake of fire forever. When Satan stands up against me, I must be prepared to stand against him. I need to resist him stedfast in the faith                  1 Peter 5:9  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. I need to put on the whole armour of God in order to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Eph. 6:11) I must not be ignorant of his devices                     (2 Cor. 2:11) He can come as a roaring lion (1Pe 5:8) He can come as an angel of light (2Co 11:14) Resisting him will cause him to flee   ...

Thursday’s Thoughts

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Psalms 97:5  The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. Hills and mountains of problems in our life can and will melt away if we will but realize God’s presence. Psalms 97:12  Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. Have I thanked God for His holiness today?

Psalms 94:18  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.  His mercy holds me up when my feet slip along the path.  Praise the Lord! Psalms 94:20-21  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.   May the Lord help me to keep iniquity form ruling on the throne of my heart for it is “against me” and causes me to sin “against the LORD”! Psalms 94:22  But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. Worth quoting: “ What you admire will lead to what you become” – N. Deatrick *Do I admire the Lord Jesus Christ?  Am I becoming more like Him? More Quotes
