"GOD DESERVES 1ST PLACE IN OUR LIVES"

Good Morning again Everyone! 

First let me say, I couldn't resist this picture.  The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was "Let everything that hath breath, praise the Lord!  So adorable!

As promised. my next topic is from (Psalm 73:25 KJV)  Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

The devotion read” I have given you so much in this world to enjoy, and I'm so glad you take pleasure in it. What you genuinely enjoy reveals the deepest truth about you and matters forever. That is why I am giving you a heart to enjoy Me above All else. If you try to live the Christian life with all of the right beliefs and practices but with no real passion for me, you'll find yourself continually frustrated and unfulfilled. I want something better for you.


Having faith in Me is a good thing, but desire is the heartbeat of faith. Faith is power to enjoy Christ above all else, in the world. Faith is believing not just what I can do, but what I am worth.


I created you to glorify me by enjoying me above all else. I want you to desire me as an end in myself, not as a means to some other end. I will not be used. I will only be loved and enjoyed as the desire of your heart. I am claiming your heart as a sacred place of deepest love, where no one else may go.


This hit home with me. Not because I don't LOVE HIM, but it took me to places that brought to mind how I put Him “on the back burner” of my desires. I continually say I love Him, I continually profess my faith in Him, but in reality, where does He sit in my heart?


Rather than reading His Word, I play computer games, watch television, read other books (all though they are Christian and spiritual-growth) they are not the same as His actual Word.


I'm not saying we can't do other things, but we need to make sure that God is always first.  My Pastor who is a very wise man, said  that any time we place more value on something such as money, computer games television or such like than we do spending time with God, then "that thing" becomes our object of worship.  We would all do good to remember that.  These things are ok, but we need to keep our priorities in order.


Rather than spending a specific time in prayer, I spend time doing the things above and when I think about it I might say a prayer of thanks to Him. The only time I spend a length of time in prayer conversing with Him is for someone's healing. That is when I get totally serious. Why is that? Is it just because I know it is for someone else? Is it because I know He will do it for them, but I have doubts about myself? I don't know. These are the attitudes I need to change.  I need to come to God with all the vigor and zeal I have no matter what  the case.  Whether it is praying for God to guide me through the day with my decisions (which we all should do), praying for our country which is definitely in dire need of prayer, praying for my own healing, or someone else's needs.  They all carry the same weight and should be taken seriously. 


We should also take our praise and worship to Him seriously.  For He sees and hears everything we do.  He inhabits our praises, so the more we praise Him, the closer He will feel to us.  (Think about that for a minute).  We need Him in Every Aspect of our lives, and if we continually have a prayerful spirit, praise Him for all He is and all He does, just think how close we would feel to Him!

The point that I am trying to make about this devotion is that we need to remember WHO He is, Who created us, What He did for us and be thankful. We need to give Him our love, our thanks and our devotion.


We need to put Him back on the FRONT BURNER of our thoughts, our priorities, our love and our desires. As He stated in His Word, the order of our priorities should be GOD FIRST, family second and everything else will fall into place.


If we will just remember this and put this into practice, “our world” will be a much better place to live in.


Have a Wonderful Day, and May God Bless!

"WORDS OF PRAISE"




Good Evening to All!

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, abounding in mercy.

He will not always strive with us ,

nor will He keep His anger forever;

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

For as the heavens are above the earth,

So great is His mercy for those who fear (respect) Him;

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children,

So the LORD pities those who fear Him.

For He knows our frame;

He remembers that we are dust.

(Psalm 103:8-12)

The Lord is merciful: This is a basic description of God in the Old Testament (Psalm 86:15; Exodus 34:6-7). If God dealt with us according to our sins, no one could stand before Him (Psalm 130:3). There is no way to compare the divine with the mortal; the mercy of God is greater than the heavens. He removes our sins completely (Micah 7:19) and cares for His people as a good father cares for his children. The fact that God remembers who we are and how He made us is another mark of His mercy, for we are dust.

According to God's Word, we are to strive to be like Him. We are suppose to work toward developing attributes like Christ. If we were to read the above passage, then turn to Galatians 5 22 and read the Fruit of the Spirit, which is also what we are suppose to strive for with the help of the Holy Ghost, we would see that they are pretty much the same.

Fruit of the Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.

See if you can match up the attributes in the Bible passage at the beginning of the post with the Fruit of the Spirit listed above.

This will be my last post for at least a few days. I will be getting the last minute things done before we leave on our trip Thursday morning.

I will probably do some posts during our vacation but regularity of them will depend on the camp grounds that we stay in. Some have Internet access and some don't, so I will post when I can.

Good Night to All and May God Bless!

"GLORIOUS PRAISE"


Good Evening to All!

As promised I am concluding my topic of "Praise" tonight. I kind of "ran through numbers 10 and 11 at the end of last night's post, which were:

(10. ) The Glorious Garment of Praise and (11.) Honest Worship.

12. Spiritual Worship (Phil. 3:3) Paul identifies the worship of those who have identified with Christ (having their heart circumcised, which is cutting away the carnal reserve in worship as well as removing all dependence on the works of the flesh for their salvation). This worship is to be "in" or "by" the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is to be invited into and involved in our worship--enlarging, equipping, and expanding us in praise-filled, Christ-exalting, God-honoring ways that bring the spiritual impetus required for true worship. I looked up the word impetus and the dictionary states that it is a moving force; impulse; stimulus. I liked this definition the best: the force with which a moving body tends to maintain its velocity and overcome resistance. This tells me that to truly have "spiritual worship" one must have impetus. We must remove or get past all resistance telling us that we should stand still and be reverent, we mustn't shout. we should not do anything that someone may think looks silly. We must get past all of that resistance placed in our way by Satan to keep us from honoring our God as He should be honored.

13. Songs of the Holy Spirit (Col. 3:16) Paul taught the churches (see also Eph.5:18, 19) not only to sing psalms (biblical lyrics) and hymns ( songs we write about God), but also spiritual songs." The Greek odais pneumatikais reveals the Holy Spirit as a composer, ready to enable and expand the song of the Lord through believers now as then. Interesting is the thought that this song is participating in \heaven's song by the Spirit's enablement, a song described as the sound (or voice) of many waters (Rev. 14:2, 19:6). Joined to Jesus' description of the "rivers of living water" (John 7:38) springing from within those who believe in Him, it appears that "spiritual songs" may be one of those "rivers"--springing with praise from the inner being of the worshiping believer.

Now to be completely honest, I don't quite understand this one. After reading these scriptures, I definitely know there is a heavenly choir, as the verses talk about a sound of a multitude of voices, and harpers playing their harps. I do believe that
the Holy Spirit can give a person the words to a song which God wants to be written. I also believe in the Holy Spirit having everything to do with spiritual songs. I don't know if I am getting my thoughts mixed up with a different context or not, but I have heard people sing in "tongues" (which is a heavenly language between our soul and God), and it is beautiful. I just am not sure if I'm confusing the context.

14. Jesus Sings Praise with Us. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (12) Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.(Heb. 2:11-12) This quotation from a messianic prophecy I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. ,(Psalm 22:22) reveals how the Spirit of the Christ fills the New Testament Church, as Jesus identifies Himself so closely with His people and enters into songs of worship and praise with them. Note: (1) how the Lord Himself enters into the gathering (in the midst) and (2) how the joint-praise releases the spirit of prophecy ") as the holy power of praise ignites "the testimony of Jesus" And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus : worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Rev. 19:10)

15. The Sacrifice of Praise (Heb.13:10-15) Why is praising God a sacrifice? The word "sacrifice" (Greek, thusia) comes form the root "thuo", a verb meaning "to kill or slaughter for a purpose." Praise often requires that we "kill" our pride, fear, or sloth--anything that threatens to diminish or interfere with our worship of the Lord. We also discover here the basis of all our praise: the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by Him, in Him with Him, to Him, and for Him that we offer our sacrifice of praise to God. Praise will never be successfully hindered when we keep its focus on HIM --the Founder and Completer of our salvation. His Cross, His Blood--His love gift of life and forgiveness to us--keep praise as a living sacrifice!

I must say, I have done both. I have left a church service having NOT given my all (praise and worship) to God, and I have left having given my mind, body and soul to Him in praise and worship. When I have done the latter, I feel a warmth of love and refreshment, a renewal of spirit. When I don't, I leave with a sense of tiredness, and dreading the coming days. He gives me strength for my praises.

I hope that when you enter your church tomorrow, or even if you are a person who doesn't go to church, take time to think about WHO GOD truly is, and why He deserves all of our praise. Look to the heavens and praise Him with all your being. Let Him know just how much you love Him. Not just for what He's done for you, but for WHO HE IS. He deserves to be praised with all of our hearts, minds and souls.

Everyone Have a Wonderful Evening and May God Bless!

"A CONTINUATION OF PRAISE"




Good Evening to All!

As I said in my last post, I would like to continue with my topic of "Praise".

Praise can do many things. In the natural world, it can raise self-esteem, and it can increase the level of achievement or production done in a person's school world, or employment world. Praise can make or break a person's physical spirit. I say physical spirit because I don't know how else to describe it. I don't think that praise has much if anything to do with our spirit of God. I may not be looking at this correctly, and if not, please someone explain it to me. I say that because we should love God whether "He" praises us or not. although, I don't think we should expect praise from Him after what He has done for us and what "little we have done for Him in comparison. I don't know if I'm wording this right. I know what I feel in my heart, but I can't seem to put in on here the way I'm feeling.

If we are true Christians, then God's spirit is within us. Therefore, that to me is praise in itself. He thought enough of us to in-fill us with His Holy Spirit to guide us into All Truths and to keep us on the path of righteousness headed to heaven (if we will let Him).

For this, HE ALONE IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISES. I wish I knew how to do the Music player on here. Now would be a great time to play "He Alone is Worthy". Anyway, on with the study of Praise. We left off with #4.

5. Praise and the Presence of God Bring Victory.
(2 Chronicles 20:15-22)
This is a great lesson on the power of praise and the resulting presence of God. When Judah's mortal enemies threatened it with annihilation, the people sought out God in prayer and with faith in His Word. They were encouraged by the prophet of Asaph not to be afraid, and told them that the "battle was not their's it was God's". The Levites responded by praising God with strong voices, and singers started singing praises (tehillah) which enthroned God (in which God inhabited) and which brought them into God's presence. It invites His ruling presence. The results were profound. His presence confounds three enemy armies. If praising Him can do this, just think what it can do for our problems.

6. Singing in Praise Is to Be Continual (Psalm 34:1). The word "praise" here (Hebrew tehillah) refers to a hymn of praise, or the singing spontaneous praise to God (Psalm 40:3). It is again mentioned in the New Testament in Ephesians 5:19). When the heart is full of praise, it will find expression--songs and words being spoken, overflowing from our mouths Matthew 12:34. We are always to sing praise according to Psalm 35:28; and this psalm elaborates the theme verses (1-7) giving this instruction: (1) sing to prompt others to do the same, (2)sing as a transforming remedy for fear, bringing boldness and (3) sing as an exercise of faith, invoking deliverance.

7. Praise Brings God's Help (Psalm 42:5)When depressed, desperate and down, we are encouraged. "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. Which is the evidence of the feeling or attitude of the person mentioned as well as their personal appearance. God's caring countenance turns toward the one who praises, and the praiser's countenance (spirit, attitude) is lifted by His present love.

8. Private and Public Praise. This is the heading which I may closer to because I love to praise Him no matter where I'm at or what I'm doing. I'm not saying that I jump up and down or sing at the top of my lungs when I'm in the grocery store, but if I see something that God has done, or helped me with, I'm not above say Hallelujah! or Praise the Lord in an audible voice. I sing to Him in my car all the time. I do not hide my feelings for my God. (Psalm 149:5) Here is instruction to sing praise in the privacy of one's home, not only in public gatherings but to sing in private worship as well. This Old Testament call reminds us of the New Testament revelation that we are temples, or sanctuaries, of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19; Ephesians 2:20-22). Not only that, but we see this praising in marching armies, confronting foes ( not human, but hellish powers) with praises brandished like a sword (Psalm 149:6-8) The "written judgment" in the NT terms, reminds us how praise not only honors the victory of Calvary, but applies the triumph of the Cross to real life struggles anywhere.

9. Extreme Praise (Psalm 150:2) The Hebrew word here for "praise" is halal, meaning "to shine, boast, rave and to celebrate clamorously." To some this may seem extreme, but that is the directive here. "Boast of the Lord! Rave of Him in His sanctuary," (remember, we are His temples). My book goes on to explain this in a way that I don't quite understand, but from what I gather, it's talking about really raising our praise up and stepping out of our comfort zones to really make notice of His greatness. In other words, if our usual manner of praise is lifting our hands, then step out and clap for Him. If we already lift hands and clap, then shout "praise the Lord or Hallelujah. Take baby steps if you must, just show God that you care enough to step out of what is comfortable to you for Him. After all, How comfortable do you (we) think He was on the Cross for you? (us)? Other scriptures directing us to extreme praise are Psalm 47:1,
2 Corinthians. 2:14, Colossians 2:13-15. The thing is think about how excited we get at football games when our team makes a touch down, or how excited would we get if we won the lottery? We should show God NO LESS excitement for "who He is, or What He's done for us. He deserves all our praise.

There are so many more aspects of praise! I wish I could go into them all, but it would take several more posts. I'm hoping that these two posts will have peaked your interest into doing some research on it for yourselves. There is the Glorious Garment of Praise which is discussed in Isaiah 61:3, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." Which comes from the Hebrew root word for garment (atah) which shows praise more as a piece of clothing to wrap ourselves or cover us so the hostile elements cannot penetrate.This garment of praise repels and replaces the heavy spirit. This special message of instruction and hope is for those oppressed by fear or doubt.

Another is Honest Worship (John 4:23, 24) This says it is the believer's responsibility to discover how the LORD wants to be worshiped and to explore and cultivate a relationship with Him out of which sincere, Holy Spirit-enabled worship will flow. Jesus instructs it; Worship in "spirit"--alive through new birth (John 1:12, 13; 3:6, 7) and understanding with the help of the Holy Spirit. This praise is not mechanical, rote, or merely human activity, but comes from deep within our spirits truly revering God. In other words not going through the motions because others are doing it, or because that is what we are supposed to do, but because we honestly love and appreciate God and want our focus to be on Him alone.

There are three more aspects which I would like to cover, so I will have the Topic of Praise for one more post. As I said the other night, I hope that you are getting as much information and enjoyment out of this topic as I am. Hopefully, come Sunday, when you walk into church, you will think of these posts and maybe even feel a bit closer or maybe even try some of these ways to praise Him, if you don't do them already.

"GOD INHABITS OUR PRAISES"



Good Morning to Everyone!

I'm coming to you from the frozen tundra of Comanche, Texas. Hubby and I woke up this morning to frozen water pipes, and yes they were wrapped and we even left them dripping, as well as a rolling blackout, where they turn everyone's electricity off for a while to conserve electricity. Of course that didn't help the Dallas/Fort Worth area where 43,000 homes are left without power. Anyway, hubby and I braved the icy roads to get to a hotel in town so we would have the comforts of hot water (water period) and hopefully electricity for the rest of the day and night. Now, on with my post. Today and maybe until Saturday, (when it warms up) we will be staying in a hotel in Comanche.

Have you ever thought about the word praise? OH! How important that word is. It can mean the difference to a child between growing up with low or high self-esteem and confidence. It can mean the difference in a loving or just tolerating marriage, or whether a person excels in school or at their job.

PRAISE IS IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE INCLUDING GOD.

The definition of praise is the act of worship or acknowledgment by which the virtues or deeds of another are recognized and extolled.

Praise to God is accomplished in a lot of different ways. Everything from a head bowed in prayer, to eyes uplifted, lifted hands to shouting for joy. Singing, leaping, and dancing cause the Lord gladness. Anything where we step out of the ordinary to praise God pleases Him. This is because that means sacrifice. If we stay in our normal everyday "rut" and do nothing but the ordinary routine, then it is not really a sacrifice. God sacrificed His human self for us, so why is it so hard for us to step out of our comfort zone a little bit to show Him we are NOT embarrassed to show our affections toward Him. I wonder how many of us show our affections toward our boyfriends, or spouses by kissing them in public? Praising God is not near as much a public demonstration.

I praise Him while driving down the road. just a few people might see me doing that at the speed we are driving, and at a distance what can they see, my hand in the air? I praise Him at my kitchen sink. No one sees me but my hubby and He thinks I'm crazy anyway. LOL! I praise Him in the bathtub. Hubby just thinks I'm talking to myself, nothing new there. See, praising isn't so hard. At church, I praise Him by singing shouting and dancing, but there are others doing the same, and even if they aren't they should be, so I don't feel embarrassed by giving God what He wants. It seems so little in exchange for what He's given me.

Praise is the means by which God's rule and presence may be invited into the midst of any group or private situation or circumstance: The Lord is enthroned in the praises of Israel" Psalm 22:3.

Psalm 122:3-4 says Jerusalem is built -As a city that is compact together, Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD , To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

In this verse, the visitor (Queen of Sheba) is awed by not only the buildings of Jerusalem, but also the fact that the city was the place for the worship of God. "Where the tribes go up" refers to the annual feast of ancient Israel as well as to any time that an individual of family needed to worship the Lord in the Holy City. The temple was built in a way that the priests had to walk up many steps to get to the door of the temple. As they walked up, every third step they would stop and dance for the Lord and give Him praise. When they all reached the top, they would do this and be like a choir.

We must keep in mind that EVERYTHING that is in the Word of God, He must have felt important to say, because God does not use idle words. He doesn't chit-chat. He said in Psalm 150:

Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals!

Let EVERYTHING that has breath PRAISE the LORD.

A wonderful example of a "praiser" is King David. Yes, he was an adulterer, a murder, and a liar, but you know what? He was forgiven. He praised God like no one else. He appreciated the privilege and opportunity to praise God.

In the Old Testament time, they had what they called the "Law of Exclusion". This is when someone in the family sinned against God, for ten generations this family was not allowed to worship in the temple. David had a reason to praise God because he was the first person in his family to be able to worship after his family was excluded. I would say he was making up for lost time. Even after doing all of the things he did, because God saw his heart and knew he was good, He called David a man after God's OWN Heart.

We were created to live and breathe in an atmosphere of praise-filled worship to our Creator. The movement of God's power is to be kept flowing by the joy and humble praise to God. God inhabits the praises of His people.

1. In Genesis 29:35 God's Word says that Judah means "praise", and out of this man comes a great tribe of Israel. In 49:8 Jacob spoke many important words over Judah, giving him the highest blessing, such as "his brothers will praise him, he will triumph over his enemies. Verse 10 says he will have royal authority, legal authority and will bring forth the Messiah.

2. Praise Cures "Dry Times" Numbers 21:16, 17 tells us that praise is the cure for the dry times that come to every believer, for here the praise of God caused waters to flow from a well.

3. Worship in Holiness - (1 Chronicles 16:29) To worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness is to worship God in the adornment, enrichment, and enhancement of His "otherness" and sacredness. He is separate and set apart from all that He created. He is the Holy One--this is His crowning attribute that sums up all of His attributes. To worship and praise God in this manner keeps our worship transcendent and God-centered: that is , unrestricted by the world's style and unpolluted by human self-centeredness. In other words when we focus completely on God and his holiness, when we stop, close our eyes and think about how wonderful and holy He is we will lose our train of thought thinking about "us". We won't worry about what people are thinking about us. After all, it's not about us, it's ALL ABOUT HIM.

4. Praise invokes the Presence of God. (2 Chronicles 5:13). This verse demonstrates the power of God's presence that results from a unified vocal praise. God's glory filled the temple. I will say here though that any praise brings the presence of God to us, so this verse is not saying that we have to be in a unified group to be in God's presence. I know that, because I have done it driving down the road, washing dishes, and even sitting in my bath tub. Anytime you want to feel the presence of God, all you have to do is focus upon Him, sing to Him, and sincerely praise His name, and He will come to you.

Starting out, I didn't realize how indepth I was going to get in my study of Praise to God. I am totally enjoying this study, so I have decided to break this study down into several posts. I will continue along this same topic in tomorrow's post. I hope you are enjoying and will enjoy this study as much as I am. If someone were to ask me my favorite past-time I would definitely say with no hesitation or doubt "praising the Lord".

I just realized how long this post was. I would like to think it is because of the "long narrow typing area and the enlarged pictures, rather than me being long-winded! LOL!

Good Night to All and May God Bless!

A bit of Knowledge and a bit of Praise



I post these Bible Challenges for several reasons. For one thing, I always enjoy either learning new things, or recalling things which I may have forgotten over the years. I like involving others in my quest as well. There is no such thing as knowing too much, especially when it concerns a person's Salvation or their eternal soul, not that these Bible Challenges will determine the soul's fate. I just feel that the more a person learns about God's Word, the more they will want to learn. When in turn they will realize what they need to accomplish or do to be eternally saved. Not only that I think these Challenges make learning fun, and it shows how much we really care about our soul by putting in the effort and taking the time to look up the actual scriptures and maybe even read a couple of verses above and below to get hold of the context in which it is written. This being said, here are the answers to last night's Challenge "The Holy Spirit":

1. b) Pharaoh (Genesis 41:38)
2. b) Samson (eg., Judges 14:19, 15:14-15)
3. c) fire (Matthew 2:11)
4. a) Jesus (John 14:26)
5. d) that of a rushing mighty wind )Acts 2:1-4)
6. d) Simon of Samaria (Acts 8:5-14)
7. b) Asia and Bithynia (Acts 16:6-7)
8. love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22)
9. b) the seal of His promise (Ephesians 1:13)
10. d) John/Revelation (Revelation 1:10-11)

*****************************************************

I finally gave up today and went to the doctor. I have had a horrible sore throat for a week now. I gargled hot salt water, sucked on Hall's Lozenges, and took Sudafed, none of which helped. I've been fighting going to the doctor because under normal circumstances, I say doctor myself. Well, hubby decided it was time for me to go to the pros. He had an uncle many years back who had a sore throat and I took him to the doctor and she said it was a "sinus infection" gave him medicine and sent him home, a week later, I took him back to her because he was no better. She took a throat culture and it came back negative for Strep, so she finally conceded and sent him to a specialists. We had wasted 3 weeks "playing guessing games". After going to the specialist, we found out he had throat cancer. He passed away about 6 months later. He was my husband's favorite uncle. Needless to say, my hubby gets nervous about sore throats that last any length of time.

My doctor gave me a shot and some antibiotics, and 12 hours later I am feeling better. Not completely well, but much better.

*************************************************************
The following passage is one of my favorite Psalms.

BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thin iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
he made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
Psalms 103:1-8

Psalm 103 is such a long Psalm, I decided to break it down into three parts, tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday. ( Remember I don't do Wednesday posts).

Good Night To All and May God Bless!
