DO NOT FRET

Do not fret because of evildoers, nor

be envious of the workers of iniquity.

For they shall soon be cut down like

the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good, dwell

in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and

He shall give you the desires of your

heart.

Commit your way to the Lord, trust

also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

He shall bring forth your righteousness

as the light, and your justice as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him,

do not fret because of Him who prospers

in his way, because … Continue Reading

ENTHUSIASM

Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always

obeyed my suggestions, so now, not only with

the enthusiasm you would show in my presence,

but much more because I am absent, carry out to

the goal your  own salvation with reverence, awe,

serious caution and watchfulness against temptation.

For it is God Who is all the while at work in you, both

to will and to work for His good pleasure and delight.

(Philippians 2.12 & 13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

SING

Praise the Lord.

Sing to the Lord a new song,

His praise in the assembly of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker.

Let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

Let them praise His name with dancing

and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

For the Lord takes delight in His people;

He  crowns the humble with salvation.

Let the saints rejoice in this honor

and sing for joy on their beds.

May the praise of God be in their mouths

and a double-edged sword in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations and

punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings with fetters,

their nobles with shackles of … Continue Reading

Spiritual Dilemma

Now if I do what I do not desire

to do, it is no longer I who do it,

but sin that dwells in me.

So I find it to be a rule of action

within my being that when I want

to do what is right and good, there

is evil in me, though I desire to do good.

For I delight in the Law of God

according to the inward man.

But I see another law in my members,

at war against the law of my mind,

making me a prisoner to the law of

sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am!

Who will deliver me from this

body … Continue Reading

REMEMBER HIS WORKS

REMEMBER HIS WORKS

Praise the Lord!

I will praise and give thanks

to the Lord with my whole heart

in the council of the upright and

in the congregation.

The works of the Lord are great,

sought out by all those who have

delight in them.

His work is honorable and glorious

and His righteousness endures forever.

He has made His wonderful works to be

remembered.

The Lord is gracious, merciful and full

of loving compassion.

He has given food and provision to those

who reverently and worshipfully fear Him,

He will remember His covenant forever

and imprint it.

He has declared and  shown to His people

the power of  His works in giving them the

heritage of  the nations.

The works … Continue Reading
