Again and again!

Again and again!

I watch my siblings with their children and friends with having to discipline their children. I listen to them again and again say how they have to say the same thing over and over to their children and they still don't get it...and then I remember my parents saying how many times do I have to say the same thing to you Debbie?

Do you remember these times? Do you hear about these times? Well, today in Psalm 106 ~ we are reminded that - again and again he rescued them, but they chose to rebel against him.

Well, here we are in our sin and again and again God rescues us!

Do you see the tired faces of your friends? Do you hear the helplessness in their voices? Do you see the discouragement of what next? Do you think God experiences all of this over and over times how many of us are there???? And yet ...Rescue is on the way!

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!

Sweet blessings,

Debbie

On My Knees

Psalm 95

Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker, for he is our God.

We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care.

Yes, let us kneel down!

Last night in class I shared that I felt like a lot of us have gotten off our knees. It hit me that when I was a small girl that in worship we always had an altar time that everyone went to the altar! Not just a few at the end of worship, but everyone at some point were at the altar on their knees!

Is it perhaps more of the power issues that hitting ones knees makes us appear weak? Well, we are weak and we need to get back on our knees! I'm not pointing a finger, because it hit me I'm talking about me. I pray, but I haven't shown God the honor, the respect, the glory that He deserves and this Psalm spoke to it beautifully!

Thank you God for loving me,

Debbie

A single day

Psalm 84:10

A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else!

When I read this today, I was reminded of a special Bible study time with a group of young women that meets weekly with JOS. Last week we talked about heaven and how it would be and the excitement of these young ladies whose age is 17 to 21 was amazing.

Their eyes sparkled and they were just buzzing with the questions they would ask Jesus, the family they would see, and how things would look they each thought! The amazing thing was the excitement and the Light shining through each of them as they shared their thoughts and hopes!

Yes their hopes that are all built around God's Light!

It was awesome to be a part of young people excited about spending even one day in God's courts!

Thank you God for allowing me the gift of these young women sharing about YOU! You opened the door and pursued me until I took Your hand to share this amazing gift of time with your children...sharing YOU!

Thanking You daily!

Sweet blessings,

Debbie

I will put my hope in God!

Psalm 43

Declare me innocent, O God! Defend me against these ungodly people. Rescue me from these unjust liars. For you are god, my only safe haven. why have you tossed me aside? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. There I will go to the altar of God, to God-the source of all my joy. I will praise you with my harp, O God, My God!

Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again-my Savior and my God.

Indeed on this July 4th I will put my hope in God! Our founding fathers came to discover a new land for the right to worship God. Today it is my prayer we will remember the reasons that our founding fathers fought for the right to worship God in a free land. Many of our universities were even founded so that they could study and learn more about God! My hope rest in God alone for our country to return to its former Greatness! Yes we are great, but we are not what we once were...
