Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.<BR/>Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.<BR/><BR/>Send thine hand from above;rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; whose mouth speaketh vanity,<BR/> <BR/>and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:<BR/> <BR/>upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: that our garners may be full, affording all manner of store;that our sheep may bring forth thousands<BR/>and ten thousands in our streets: that our oxen may be strong to labor; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. <BR/><BR/>Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021807776846074767.post-67731430105374081682008-08-18T19:46:00.000-05:002008-08-18T19:46:00.000-05:00To: the author of the last comment, One thing that...<B>To: the author of the last comment, </B><BR/>One thing that might help in your battles is to tell your husband that you are still following him and you totally trust and support him in this battle. God designed your husband to be that protector and decision maker. Your verbal submission will free him to make the biblical and Godly decision for the family. He will be blessed to know you are by his side and will never leave no matter how hard it gets or how big the dragon is that he must slay with the “sword of the spirit”. You as his wife have the power be the help meet that can help your head turn the table of the battles your family faces. Find a <B><I>creative </I> </B>way to tell your husband <I>“I submit to your headship and I am by your side as your helpmeet for eternity. As the Lord leads you, so shall I be led by you.”</I> You will empower him to lead you across the River Jordan into the promise land (as the Lord leads him).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021807776846074767.post-87966724877166643742008-08-18T18:20:00.000-05:002008-08-18T18:20:00.000-05:00“…its exciting too that He hears our prayers even ...“…its exciting too that He hears our prayers even if they are delayed from our perspective.” :) Amen. So many things arise to cloud my vision and surround my heart with fear and trembling; but when I cry unto my God, He delivers me into His peace and blessed assurance. Ps 55:17 “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” I cry out with my voice and with the silence of my upturned pleading eyes, and He hears and He will save me out of all my troubles! Ps 34:4 “I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Ps 59:16 “But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my <I>defense</I> and <I>refuge</I> in the day of my trouble.”<BR/>I am unquestionably on the side of the Jordan with the “scores of battles, but also a host of victories”. Indeed, when times are hard He is at His greatest! 2Cor12:9-10 “And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, <I>that the power of Christ may rest upon me.</I> Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” Oh praise God for this! Ps70(5)” But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.” Something the Lord keeps showing me as I read the Psalms is our dire need to be clothed in YHWH’s righteousness, washed pure by His blood, and covered in His holiness “for the sake of mine enemies.” Ps71:2 “Deliver me in <I><B>Thy</B> righteousness</I>…..” Ps139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” I need to be “dressed in His righteousness alone” so that I’m “faultless to stand before the throne.” <BR/>( : Thank you for your encouraging words!

Purify me or Lord!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Today in our Morning family prayer and devotion time we read Psalm 69-71. As a family we have chosen to REJOICE and PRAISE our maker in this wilderness.<BR/><BR/>I continually cast my prayers/requests upon our Lord. He then provides peace and assurance that he has deliverance/faithfulness in his plan!!!!<BR/><BR/>Our Lord blesses us with beautiful memories, reminders, experiences, times,..... All that bring tears I cant hold back. Tears of joy, truth, happiness, desire, and longing.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes his blessings make life harder. If the way was easy we should turn to the Lord as much as we do today. In the times of easy blessings may our family praise and lean on him more!<BR/><BR/>As I read his word, my tears of joy fall upon my bible. My bible has become stained by tears of joy and craving tomorrow then I will be give more reminders of the Lords gift.<BR/><BR/>Some day "In Heaven" I will have tears of joy that will fall on the head of the one I constantly love and miss!!!!!<BR/>(I am sure you feel the same way about Joel)<BR/><BR/>Psalm 71:14-24 (My prayer today)23totalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418314694790349511noreply@blogger.com
