Psalm 23 (World English Bible, WEB)

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LOOKING BEYOND!

Psalm 8:4 – Devotional

Psalm 8:4

“What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?”

I enjoy searching the heavens and contemplating what it will be like when all believers will be given glorified bodies and allowed to soar through the heavens and explore worlds beyond our own. What an experience that will be!

As many of you know, I have had the experience of officiating at the funeral services of my mother, my brother, my two daughters, as well as numerous friends. I have also felt the terrible loss of my precious wife who was a very part of my life.

No amount of wishful thinking will ever return our loved ones to us on this earth, but a proper acceptance that God has welcomed them into His presence. Dealing with broken-heartedness entails re-directing the focus of our attention to the glorious reunion day that awaits us in glory.

John assures us one result of our belief in God is that our thinking is different from those who have no hope. Until that day we can have the beautiful assurance that there is a great reunion day waiting for us!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

A CLEAN HEART!

Psalm 51:10 – Devotional

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

Have you ever wondered who you can count on to do what they have promised to do? Let me ask another, more-penetrating question. Have you ever made a commitment to pray for someone and after days, weeks, or even months, later realize that you have failed to follow through? You have betrayed your trust, my friend!

It is a serious thing to violate your promise to those around you, but what about the promises you have made to the Lord―promises that you made to Him but that you have failed to keep? I must confess that there have been times I have had to hang my head in shame and ask the Lord to forgive my failure.

It is easy to see the faults of others while at the same time ignoring my own shortcomings. I think that the more easily we find fault in others the easier it is to ignore our own failures.

There have been many times that people have disappointed me by saying one thing and then doing another. It hurt and made me feel betrayed. The answer is to take my hurt to the foot of the cross and leave it there.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
