Psalm 89:15

Psalm 89:15

He is my God!

This verse kind of sums up the whole truth of the relationship between mankind and God. It highlights those who choose to acknowledge His Being, who name Him as their God and who live their lives in the light of this truth. As a consequence, they come under the shelter of His immense wings, and they are protected and guided and provided for throughout their lives. 

None of us has a full appreciation of who God is, how could we? He is beyond our wildest imaginations and yet we are vaguely aware that there is a Being who threw billions of galaxies into space and who also knows the intricate details of our DNA and the workings of every atomic particle in creation! This is the One whom we call God, and we are blessed simply by the knowledge of Him. But He takes it further, He revels in relationships, to find men and women who not only acknowledge His existence, His power and His authority, but who are prepared to acclaim Him. In other words, they are not ashamed to declare their allegiance and their faith, but they also openly praise and proclaim His name. Is this you and me? 

True blessing accompanies all who choose this path of faith for they walk in the light of His presence. For some reason this Almighty God loves to walk with us. He loves to commune with us. He takes huge delight in our company and in a relationship with us. So much so that He pours blessing after blessing upon us and lets us know how highly favoured we are. He shines His light on our earthly journey so that we are not blind to His will, and He listens with joy to our conversation as He accompanies us on the voyage of life. A voyage He has mapped out in advance. Wow! What a God! What a privilege to walk with Him and to call Him “Abba”. Enjoy Him today!

Psalm 4:1 Smear campaigns

Psalm 4:1    Smear campaigns   The background to this Psalm is so familiar; David is being slandered and maligned by his detractors.  It seems that some calamity has befallen the nation and the king is getting the blame! Lies are being told, a smear campaign has begun, and the reputation of the Sovereign is under threat.  As usual, if something goes wrong, culpability is laid at the feet of the one in charge.  David, quite rightly, turns to the Lord his God and prays for relief and for mercy. The Satan is a master of such campaigns and his emissaries gleefully turn on Christians in leadership positions although the whispering campaign can affect all of us. The whispering starts in our own heads, but it can also come from the lips of our detractors. It goes something like this: - You’re the reason it went wrong You messed up again You should have seen it coming Surely you know better You are not worthy You don’t know what you’re doing Someone else ought to be in c

Psalm4:8        I will lie down and sleep                Th ere are times, in the life of all believers, when we no longer have control of situations. We can do nothing more. We have given our all, we have tried every possible solution and now it is out of our hands. As someone has wisely said, “It is time to let go and let God.” If we truly trust Him, if our faith will allow us, we can turn our backs on our enemies. We can block our ears to the threats. We can ignore the lies and the deceit and say,  “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord, make me dwell in safety.” I should imagine that the devil, having sent a hurricane our way is not amused, when we settle in our beds in the midst of it all and drift off into a peaceful sleep! But that is our right and privilege once we let the Lord God Almighty take control. These spiritual attacks are like whirlwinds, they blow with terrifying intensity and threaten to turn us upside down; the disciples witnessed one of thes

Psalm 74:16

Psalm 74:16 God established the sun and the moon “ In  the beginning   God created   the heavens   and the earth.   2  Now the earth was formless   and empty,   darkness was over the surface of the deep,   and the Spirit of God   was hovering over the waters. 3  And God said,   “Let there be light,” and there was light.   4  God saw that the light was good,   and he separated the light from the darkness.   5  God called   the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”   And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” These, so familiar, words from Genesis 1 remind us of who is in charge! There would be no light without God. There would be no day or night without God. There would be no earth without God. And there would have been no living things unless God had created order out of chaos. The sun, moon and stars would not be fixed in their orbits without God and you and I would not exist unless He ordered our conception. It is because we see God as glorious, righteous
