TRUE WISDOM & UNDERSTANDING!

Psalm 111:10 – Devotional

Psalm 111:10

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.”

Proverbs 1:7

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Proverbs 9:10

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Look closely at the text of the three verses above.

According to these passages of Scripture, what one thing is essential for deepening our understanding of obedience to God’s revealed truth?

Do I open God’s Word with this attitude?

Do I show the kind of respect and reverence necessary to have true wisdom and understanding?

JUST A SHADOW!

Psalm 144:4 – Devotional

Psalm 144:4

“Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.“

You can stand on a high mountain and view the panorama before you. If you are fortunate, there will be a few clouds and you can see the shadows they cast as they float across the sky.

The shadows have no substance to them, but they can either allow the sun to illuminate the landscape, or block its rays from reaching the ground. For someone who is laboring in the heat of the day, the shadows are a relief from the blistering rays.

There are times in our life when the shadows of adversity seem to be like the clouds that darken the sky. The result can cause us to become depressed and lose the purpose God wants us to fulfill in serving Him.

It is in the shadows of adversity that we need to remind ourselves that the sunlight of God’s love is always shining bright and the clouds will soon pass. Lift up you head dear heart, the sunlight of God’s love is always shining bright, even behind the shadow you are now experiencing!

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

ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING!

Psalm 145:10-11 – Devotional

Psalm 145:10-11

“All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power.”

The older I get (and I am getting up there), the more disturbed I am about senseless killing. This is not only true of attacks on other people, but also on the killing animals just for the sport of it. In my hunting days I did shoot game, but it was for food not for sport. Now, however, there are many that hunt only for bragging rights, not for food. God meant for us to be keepers and protectors, not killers.

In 1225, when he was feeling ill and losing his sight, Francis of Assisi wrote about what was always on his heart: the praise of God. In All Creatures of Our God and King, his love for God and the world He made comes out very strongly.

Probably because he lived such a simple life, he noticed things that we, in our busy lives, tend to overlook. Francis believed that all earth’s creatures get their life from God and that we all depend on Him for our continual existence.

ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING!

All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O, praise Him, Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him, O praise Him,

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along,
O, praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of evening, find a voice!
O, praise Him, O praise Him,

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Let all things their creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O, praise Him! Alleluia!
Praise, the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One!
O, praise Him, O, praise Him

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

And all ye men of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
O, praise Him! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and on Him cast your care!
O, praise Him, O, praise Him

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
