Breakfast For Your Soul

  Put your hope in the Lord.
      Travel steadily along His path.
   He will honor you by giving you the land.
      You will see the wicked destroyed.

   I have seen wicked and ruthless people
      flourishing like a tree in its native soil.
   But when I looked again, they were gone!
      Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

   Look at those who are honest and good,
      for a wonderful future awaits those who love peace.
   But the rebellious will be destroyed;
      they have no future.

   The Lord rescues the godly;
      He is their fortress in times of trouble.
   The Lord helps them,
      rescuing them from the wicked.
   He saves them,
      and they find shelter in Him

[Psalm 37:34-40]

Peace, Prosperity and Shelter in Him

Good Afternoon Beloved,

God says what He means and means what He says.  Many times the “wicked” seem to prosper. It seems as though their wealth, which they received through ill-gotten means are rewarded, envied and copied.  The “honest” guy is often times maligned, ridiculed and mocked, called foolish and a “sucker”.  In reality he is the one who will receive double honor.  Even if he never sees it in this life, he will in the life to come (which is MUCH longer).  The Bible tells us, “not to be weary in well doing for we shall reap if we faint not”.  I am personally surrounded by people who live their lives in honesty and truth.  They seek to do the will of the Lord and to live a good life.  They are always seeking ways to help not hurt… to bless, encourage and uplift others.  Still, there are times when the warfare we talked about the other day gets so intense they may want to throw in the towel.  I found something very interesting.  At one point in the earthly ministry of Jesus, as His time here grew short… He had a conversation with His disciples.  Some of them evidently did not like what He said because they walked away.  Jesus turned to those who remained and said, ”Will you also go away?.  I like ole brash Peter.  Peter answered and said, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.  And we believe and are sure that You are that Christ, the Son of the living God.”  When this is the heart cry of our spirit, during our rough patches! … I believe it blesses the heart of God and He will honor us for it!  WOW!

… and that Beloved is Good News!

Y Stress? … U Blessed!

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91:1

For You have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Psalm 61:3

Good Morning Beloved,

“Shelter”.  God is our strongtower, our strength.. shelter in times of storm.  He is God and never grows weary…. never fails… never gives up.  He is lightyears away from us in terms of His thoughts, but His presence is closer than our next breath.  He is Sovereign… ruler of all at all times, and a loving Father who cares for His children.  His yes is yes and His no is no, yet He gives us the privilege to “come and reason with Him”. He is all sufficient and needs no one, however, since He IS love, desires everyone.  “It is not His will that any perish, but that ALL come to repentance”.  He has given every person the gift of a free will, and if it is that person’s will not to accept Him, He will not force Himself on them. He is tender and compassionate, and has power over life and death.  He is a trusted confidante and friend, but don’t get it twisted He is KING of Kings… the God of ALL flesh.  He has prepared a place for us in heaven, Hell was never intended for humanity, it was designed for the devil and the fallen angels, but those who choose to follow the devil, will go where he is going.  Know that it is not by God’s design…. He provided ‘The Way’ of escape….Jesus… our redeemer, our sanctifier, our healer, our Lord… He is the ultimate peacemaker…. He is a mighty warrior… He is strong…He is gracious and kind. Hey!  It’s good to know we have a Friend in high places.

 …. that is Good News my friend!

Cartoonist’s Comment:

In Revelation 5:5, Jesus is referred to as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Like a lion, our Lord is powerful and strong, and able to protect us from the enemy.
