I Shall Not Lack

Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack” (AMP).

The word, lack means miss, need, want, or be short of. In another word, I shall not miss anything I need. I will not be short of money. (Take faith to believe this). I have a place to live. I have furniture, chairs, and TV. I have my monthly social security. I have part-time job. I receive my pay check. I have clothes to wear. I can dress myself. I have food to eat. I am able to go out to eat sometimes. I have a car. If not, I can go on bus ride or friends help me with ride. I have a family. I have friends. I have a church to go to. I take part of activities. And many more! Doesn’t that make you want to be thankful that our Shepherd makes sure that we shall not lack anything? 

Suppose if something happen and we did not have anything? Then Jesus, Himself is all we need. Next thing we know is that heaven is our future home. In heaven, we have everything we need! Bless our Shepherd who takes care of us! So trust our Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ today!

PS. Song: He’s All I Need
He’s all I need, He’s all I need
Jesus is all I need.
He’s all I need, He’s all I need
Jesus is all I need.

You are all I need, You are all I need
Jesus, You are all I need.
You are all I need, You are all I need
Jesus, You are all I need.

Withhold?

Psalm 84:11 “…No good thing will He (God) withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

Does God hold back anything good from us? No! “He does not hold back anything good from those whose lives are innocent” (NCV). God won’t hold back anything if we obey His instructions from the Word of God and believe His promises.

One good example when God told Abraham there would be a nation coming from his descendants. He had waited 25 years for a son. Abraham would probably be 5,000 years old if he had lived to see all that God had done from Abraham’s descendants. Abraham would get to see all the people of the world who had accepted Jesus Christ just simply because “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness” (Romans 4:3). This proves that God did not withhold His promises to Abraham. Thousands of generations had trust God because Abraham believed God. What does that make us want to do? Continue to believe that God is not holding back on us. He always has a plan. So let’s trust our God today!

Song: God Is A Good God
God is a good God
Every heartache He understands;
There is healing power, There are miracles
in the touch of His wonderful hands.
What He’s done for others, He will do for you
If you’ll only believe and trust Him too;
For God is a good God and
His goodness He will show to you.

Be Brave!

Psalm 27:14, NLT
Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

This “Bread of Life” with card verses, has a cute little suit case (3”x 2”x 1”) I bought at Berean Christian Bookstore to put on the table desk. The Bread of Life card verses has NIV, NLT, KJV and maybe more so I find this refreshing sometimes.

Have you ever felt like something inside of you is frightening? This is where card verse comes in: “Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”

Tony and I were reading a book called, “Can America Survive?” by John Hagee. A friend from Utah gave us this book and we read them together over coffee almost daily. It was not a pleasant book, but it was important to know what was going on in different part of the world. It was frightening event. When I picked the card verse this morning, I was surprised and realized that the Lord God read my heart. So the Word of God speaks to us personally, “Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”

Waiting on the Lord gives Him time to shed peace upon our hearts. Waiting on the Lord gives Him time to provide strength we need. Waiting on the Lord gives Him time to anoint us with Holy Spirit. Waiting on the Lord gives Him time to heal our bodies.

So trust the Lord God today!

The Apple of the Eye

Psalm 17:8 Prayer of David
“Keep me as the apple of the eye …”

The apple of the eye means something greatly valued and something dear that belongs to God. David, the psalmist uses this statement, “The apple of the eye” to express God’s love and care for His faithful people. David had a great love for God and prayed to God from the whole chapter 17. David’s prayer looked back in the past how much God had loved and cared for him.

Acts 13:22 God said, “I have found David … A man after my own heart,” was the same as “David was the apple of His eye.” Our heavenly Father loves and cares for us just as we are “the apple of His eye.”  It reminds me of a song, “We’ve got a great big wonderful God,” and there’s a line that says, “We’re the apple of His eye.” By now the song might have more meaning for us.

Song: We’ve God a Great Big Wonderful God.
We’ve got a great big wonderful God! 
Great big wonderful God …
A God who’s always victorious, 
Always watching over us-
Great big wonderful God …
We’ve got a great big wonderful God!
Great big wonderful God …
A God who loves every one of us,
does so much for all of us-
Great big wonderful God …
He never, never, never leaves us,
He’s always standing by
To pick us up if we stumble,
We’re the apple of His eye...
We’ve got a great big wonderful God!
Great big wonderful God …
O what a glory it is to sing
praises to the coming King
Great big wonderful God …
Our great.. big.. wonderful.. God ….!
(Tim Spencer, 100 Country Western Gospel Favorites)

Close to His Heart

Psalm 148:14 NIV
“He has raised up for his people a horn (strong one, that is, king), the praise of all His saints, of Israel, the people close to His heart. Praise the Lord.”

In KJV Psalm 148:14, the part of a sentence quoted: “a people near unto Him.” When we read this part of words, ‘near unto Him,’ the question is, how much near are we unto Him?

Have you ever watch a TV commercial on “a mother holding a baby and looking so very tenderly and lovely and how the baby’s wide-eye gazing or looking steadily in wonder at the mother’s face? This precious moment, a baby in the arms of mother so close to her heart.” Who would ever thought of this kind of creation, but God Himself about you being close to His heart? God looks at you and hold you like a baby, so very close to His heart. This is how near and precious you are to Him. Believe this!

Song: I Am Thine, O Lord
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told of Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus: Draw me near-er, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious bleeding side.
(Fanny Jane Crosby, Sing His Praise)

May you be close to God’s heart today!

All Alone?

John 14:18 Jesus said, "I will not leave you all alone ..."

Special poem from Cheryl Bache of VA send this. I thought
it would be good to share with you. May God bless you!
Dorothy

PRAYER FOR THOSE LIVING ALONE

I live alone, dear Lord, stay by side
In all my daily needs be Thou my guide.
Grant me good health for that I pray
To carry on my work from day to day.
Keep pure my thoughts, my every deed.
Let me be kind and unselfish in my neighbor's needs.
Spare me from fire, from floods, malicious tongues,
From thieves, from fear, and evil ones.
If sickness or an accident befall,
Then humbly, Lord, I pray, hear Thou my call.
And when I am feeling low or in deep despair,
Lift up my heart and help me in my prayer.
I live alone, dear Lord, yet have no fear,
Because I feel Your presence ever near.
(Unknown Author)

My favorite poem I asked my aunt to make it for me
I don't know who wrote a poem. I loved to read it
before I go to bed and it helps me. Cheryl

Sow Bountifully

2 Corinthians 9:6b “He which soweth, bountifully shall reap bountifully.”

There are two ways to explain the meaning of the word, sow. First one is giving something you own like money, clothes, food, etc. Secondly, I like this new thought: Share yourself personally.
The word, sow from Merriam-Webster dictionary: “to spread over a wide area.” In another word, share around those you are connects to. Free in giving or sharing yourself with others. Also soweth means to continue to share with others.

As for me, I “sow” my time of prayers for others as Holy Spirit leads me. I sense the Spirit’s bountifully inside of me. I, also “sow” my bread box devotion bountifully. I reap bountifully hearing from you how it meant to you. Wow! That was rich! The word, bountifully has a very rich meaning. It means generous and plentiful. This is how God bless bountifully to anyone who sows bountifully whatever you are doing. God is a bountifully God. He gives and gives and gives again. It reminds me of a song: He Giveth More Grace.

Chorus:
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure;
His pow’r has no boundary known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth and giveth and giveth again!

1. He giveth more grace when the burden grows greater;
He sendeth more strength when the labor increase,
To added (worse) affliction He added (give) His mercy;
To multiplied (many) trials, His multiplied ( He gives) peace.
(Annie Johnson Flint, Sing His Praise)

May God bountifully bless you today!

Other Little Things

Matthew 25:40 Jesus said, “Anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me” (ncv).

Do you ever wonder what little things Jesus was talking about? From the story of Matthew 25:31-46, He talked about several little things that were very important to Him. Give water to drink when a person was thirsty; invite a stranger to their home and maybe they were hungry, feed them; give clothes to a person who doesn’t have enough to wear; visit the person who was sick at their home; and visit the person at prison.

When I was a child, I remember a hungry old man came to the door and asked my mom if she had any food for him to eat. She told him to sit at the picnic table out in the lawn and to give her time to fix him food. After 20 minutes, she brought the large plate with foods and a glass of milk to him. He thanked her and told her how much he appreciated it.

From the inside of the screen door, I watched the hungry man eating. My mom said, “You never know that he may have been rich before or maybe he had a job before, but he lost everything overnight. So I am happy to serve him food and drink just as I served my Jesus the same way.” Boy that was a great impact on my life. Ever since then, I understood that everything we do to others is the same things as we do to Jesus, Himself.

So be kind to someone today!

Little Things

Matthew 25:23b “Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things.”

Have you ever done little things that you think don’t seem to mean anything even to God? Jesus has something to say about that. “... Because you were loyal with small things, I will let you care for much greater things” (Matt. 25:23 nvc).

Is it hard to imagine what exactly will Jesus put us in charge of? (NIV: I will put you in charge of many things). But first, Jesus has to know if He can trust you with little things on the earth. If you do well with little things, then Jesus can trust you to do well with big things in His future Kingdom.

Prayer:
Dear Jesus, You have given us jobs to do on earth. Help us to do well so that You could trust us to do the work for You in the future Kingdom of God. Help us not to have an attitude about the little things that mean nothing, when it actually means something to You. Help us to realize that You do care about little things. Help us to be faithful to Your calling us to do little work for You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!

So trust God today for little things!

Lion of Judah

Revelation 5:5 "Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David hath prevailed . . . "

Jesus Christ was called the Lion of Judah. We are in the generation of "Joshua" whose faith was strong in God and yet we need special strength. Joshua, 80 years old, was full of life and very active because he meditated the law of God day and night (Joshua 1:8). Joshua received the courage of a lion in his soul.

The Lion of the tribe of Judah wants to pass on to us the same boldness and courage of the Lion. We can be like Joshua and become strengthened through being active with meditation of God's Word, speaking, thinking and doing. Why do we need to do this?

We are on the battlefield and the powers of darkness will be all around to discourage, oppress, steal, kill and destroy.

So let us sing this old song:
The Lion of Judah shall break every chain,
And give to us the victory again and again.
The Lion of Judah shall break every chain,
And give to us the victory again and again.
(Inspiring Choruses)

May the Lord give you strength to prevail (to win against the opposition) and be victorious in Christ!

Number Our Days

Psalm 90:12 KJV: “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” NCV: “Teach us how short our lives really are so that we may be wise.”

Teach us to number our days means we need to realize that our time on earth is short. From Adam’s time to Noah’s time of flood, the people had lived so many years up to 900 years. Genesis 6:5-6 tells us that God saw that men were always thinking evil and never giving God the glory. God was sorry that He made man on earth and God was grieved. Finally God said, “Enough is enough.” He found only one man Noah who loved God and built an ark. Why the flood? To destroy all the people who lived up to 900 years. God said, “No more.” From now on, 70 years is all that a man has to live on earth.

Psalm 90:10 tells us that “Our lifetime is seventy years or, if we are strong eighty years. But the years are full of hard work and pain. They pass quickly, and then we are gone.” But God is external and has been generation after generation. God was there before He created the earth and the world. He was God and has always been and will always be. To God a thousand years is like a day to Him. The people are like grass that grow up in the morning and then in the evening they dry up and die (Ps. 90:1-6). “Lord, fill us with Your love every morning. Then we will sing and rejoice all our lives” (Ps. 90:14).

So let us rejoiced in our days!

Chorus: Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercy I see;
All I have needed Thy hand has provided,
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.
(Thomas Obediah Chrisholm, Sing His Praise)

Shaken Part 4

Hebrews 12:25a NCV: “So be careful and do not refuse to listen when God speaks.”

Otherwise, we may only have a form of godliness, and when the shaking comes we may find ourselves without the POWER to stand up and face the problems! It may be the most surprising events in the lives of people who seemed to be devoted to the purposes of God until shaking came in their lives. It was as if they had no ground to stand on, and it became clear that “the form of godliness” or “acting like a Christian” had no power to hold them firm (to stand strong) in Christ! This shaking time will expose what was missing in their foundation, Jesus Christ. Watch what they are saying and it might come as a shock. Did they really live for Christ? Or did they just act out like one?

Hebrews 12:25b-29 NCV: “Others refused to listen to Him when He warned them on earth, and they did not escape. So it will be worse for us if we refuse to listen to God who warns us from heaven. v26. When He spoke before, His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once again, I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” v27. The words, “once again” clearly show us that everything that was made—things that can be shaken—will be destroyed. Only the things that cannot be shaken will remain. v28. So let us be thankful, because we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. We should worship God in a way that pleases Him with respect and fear, because our God is like a fire that burns things up.”

In this last hour, it is very important to “hear” and put God’s Word daily into our lives. If our faith is founded on the Rock, Jesus Christ, and we build on the Word, we will remain unshaken. One of the Holy Spirit’s secrets for overcoming during this “shaking time” is to keep quoting and confessing the Word of God! The other Holy Spirit’s secret is to keep singing whatever Holy Spirit brought to your mind and heart! Also be filled with Holy Spirit and let Him speak in another language just like the day of Pentecost. That is powerful, my friend.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, teach us to number our days since we are “seeing” so many signs through TV, newspaper and internet news. Thank You Jesus for warning us that “men ought always to pray, and not to faint (give up)” (Luke 18:1). Thank You for the kingdom that cannot be shaken. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!

Have a good weekend!

Shaken Part 3

I Corinthians 3:11 “The foundation that has already been laid is Jesus Christ, and no one can lay down any other foundation” (New Century Version).

Matthew 7:26-27 “Everyone who hears my words and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and hit that house, and it fell with a big crash” (NCV). Notice this, the shaking time hit that house and the house fell. Why is that? The foundation of the house that fell and crashed was not built on the Word of God which is Jesus Christ Himself.

So the question is: Who will go through the storms and come through in triumph or victory? The answer: those who will put their faith in Christ, build upon His firm foundation, rely completely on His Word and live by His Word. It is very important to have a living, direct, personal relationship with Jesus Christ Himself. Our foundation which is our Rock in Jesus Christ must be strong. All other ground is sinking sand.

Song: The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest fame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
(Edward Mote, Sing His Praise)

So trust the Lord God today!

Shaken Part 2

Haggai 2:6,7 “For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Once more, it is a little while, I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land. I will shake all nations . . .’”

Why would God even prophecy about the shaking time? God is trying to get attention to all the people of the world to turn to Him and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. In the last ten years we have seen many natural disasters through TV or newspaper. “These are all a part of the natural shaking prophesied in the Bible for the last days. This end time shaking will include heaven, earth, sea, dry land, and all nations. Individuals, families, churches, institutions, governments, and economies, whose foundation is not based on the Word of God, will never survive this shaking” (Mahesh Chavda, "Keep Muttering").

Matthew 7:24-25 ncv: “Everyone who hears my words and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and hit that house.” Listen to Jesus’ Word: “But it did not fall, because it was built on rock.” That house did not fall. How? It was built on rock. That house is you and me. Jesus was talking about you and me. The only people who will survive the “shaking time” are those, whose foundation is based on the Word of God, and that Rock is our Lord Jesus Christ. When we are standing on the Rock Himself, and His Word, our faith and our trust in God, are not destroyed when the shaking time comes.

So trust God today!

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

Shaken Part 1

Matthew 7:24 Jesus said, “Everyone who hears My words and obeys them is like a wise man who build his house on rock.”

Now listen to this, Jesus talked about the shaking time on verse 25: It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew, and hit that house.” Notice the words? “… and hit that house.” That house is you. So if you are going through some personal disasters, this may be the way God is shaking your foundation whether your faith is build upon the Rock or not. He is making sure that your faith in Christ will be strong.

NCV in Matthew 7:24 through 27 explained that there are two kinds of people which may be two kinds of Christians. How do we know if a person’s faith in Christ is real? The only way to find out is how strong your faith in Christ will be what we go through. Also, the way we talk will show either our weakness or our strength.

I remember one experience: Lisa, a friend of mine was taking me to visit Tony, my husband in the hospital. I was riding in her van, her other friend was watching me and talking to Lisa. I asked her what she was talking about. Lisa told me that her friend could not believe how very calm I was and that she could see the presence of the Lord was with me. I asked her why that was a surprise. She explained that most of the time, a person would talk about being “worrisome” or “become panics.” But instead, I displayed a character of trusting God concerning Tony being in the hospital. I was at peace, knowing God was in the control of the situation. My time spend with God daily has prepared me for the time of crisis.

So put Jesus first in your life and Jesus will be there for you in time of crisis.

Safe? Part 2

Proverbs 29:25b “Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.” The footnote of Zondervan quoted in Hebrew language: “shall be set on high.”

Have you ever been challenged about this verse and say, “No, I don’t feel safe after all the things I have been through?” Actually, there’s more to this verse on Proverbs 29:25 but I want to focus on ncv: “... if you trust the Lord, you will be safe.” What exactly does that means “safe” when we have experienced many disasters individually? Does it feel like God didn’t protect us, didn’t He? This is a big subject and there is one thing I want to share on Luke 22:31 and Jesus tells Peter that his “faith will be shaken.” Jesus knows that your faith will be shaken, too! The beauty of this verse 32 for Peter and for us: Jesus said, “But I have prayed for you, that your faith will not be shaken and when you realized that, you are to encourage your brother and sister not to give up, too.” This is part of my translation. KJV says: “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” (Luke 22:32). Jesus prayed for us that our "faith in God will not be shaken." He cares!

When we trust God, He set us on a high place of the rock, a "safe" place which is Jesus Christ, Himself. We may never feel safe all around us, but our trust is in God and our security should be in Him. So if your faith have been "shaken," remember, in time like this, we need a Savior, we need an anchor, and this Rock is Jesus.

Song: In Times Like These
In times like these.. you need a Savior;..
In times like these.. you need an anchor..
Be very sure… Be very sure…
Your anchor holds.. and grips the Solid Rock!...
This Rock is Jesus,.. Yes, He’s the One;…
This Rock is Jesus,.. The only One;…
Be very sure,… Be very sure,…
Your anchor holds… and grips the Solid Rock!...
(Ruth Caye Jones, Sing His Praise)

So my friend, be very sure you are “safe” in the Rock of Jesus Christ today!

Trust in the Lord

Proverbs 29:25b
"Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe."

I ask Tony a question what this verse means to him.
Tony said: Where is God now? In heaven? Yes, He is
in heaven. But this verse tells us that God heard
your prayer, "God, please be with us and protect us."
We are to believe that God is with us after we put
our trust in Him first. (Thank you Tony)

Dorothy: I like this old, old chorus, Lord, I believe.

Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe,
Savior raise my faith in thee
'till it can move a mountain.
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe,
All my doubts are buried in the fountain.
(Unknown author)

Always be aware that GOD is with you!

Open My Eyes

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." Psalm 119:18

David prayed to the Lord to open his eyes so that he could understand the wonderful things about His Word. The law represents God’s Word, His Law. The song called, “Open My Eyes, That I May See” is a prayer song to the Lord. I am asking the Lord through the song to open my eyes that I may behold the wondrous things out of the law, the Bible, the Word. NCV says ‘Open my eyes to see the miracles in Your teachings.”

Other translations: Unveil (open hidden things) thou mine eyes that I may discern (able to see) wondrous things out of thy law—RHm. Take the veil (coverings) from my eyes, that I may see the marvels that spring (comes) from thy law—NEB. Give me discernment (understanding and see hidden things), that I may notice wonderful things in Your law—Har. Open my eyes: I shall concentrate (pay attention) on the marvels of Your Law—Jerus.

Proverbs 20:13b “Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.” The Proverbs, the word of wisdom tells us to open our eyes and we will be satisfied with God’s Word as the Bread of Life. I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to see what plan He has for you.

Song: Open My Eyes, That I May See
1. Open my eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou has for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free:
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!
(Clara H. Scott, Sing His Praise)
(Illumine & illuminate= to make clear as explain
illuminated the point with good examples. As to say,
help me to understand better)

The Haven of Rest

“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him.” Psalm 37:7a

The word, “rest” interest me to search the meaning, how do we rest in the Lord? Rest could be defined as to be free from anxiety or disturbance and be fixed in hope or confidence as rested our hopes on God. I visualized like a person in “rest” would be “drowned in the presence of God” and sing silence before Him.

One hearing lady told me that when she was in great pain, she lied down on the bed to pray. She entered into the presence of God for an hour and then she was completely healed. This is one of the ways to define the rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to heal you. The word, “haven” means a place of safety: shelter and also a port for the ship for the winter. So our place of safety is in the arms of Jesus. Jesus is often called, “The Haven of Rest.”

Song: The Haven of Rest
Chorus: I’ve anchored my soul ..
in the Haven of Rest,..
I’ll sail the wide seas no more;..
The tempest may sweep
o’er (over) the wild stormy deep;..
In Jesus I’m safe evermore....
(H.L. Gilmour, Melodies of Praise)

5. O come to the Savior, He patiently waits
To save by His power divine;
Come, anchor your soul in the Haven of Rest,
And say, “My beloved is mine.”

So trust God today!

Great Faith

Matthew 8:7 "And Jesus saith unto him, 'I will come and heal him."

The story of the centurion's servant healed found in Matthew 8:5-13.
A centurion (Roman army officer in charge over 100 soldiers) had a servant whom he loved very much and wanted to see his servant being healed. An army officer sought Jesus because he had heard what Jesus had done. He started to build up his faith inside of him and to believe that this man who is Christ could heal his sick servant who was at home in bed. His servant can't move his body and was in much pain. When he found Jesus, he told Jesus about his sick servant.

Do you know what Jesus said to an army officer? "I will come and heal him." Oh trust that Word of Jesus for you today. "I will come and heal you." And an army officer had a powerful faith in Jesus and said to Him, "Just SPEAK THE WORD only, and my servant shall be healed."

Do you know what impressed Jesus? An officer's faith! Jesus was amazed at his faith and said, "Go home. Your servant will be healed just as you believed he would." And his servant was healed that same hour. Oh, trust the Lord your God for healing power according to your faith in Jesus' name.

Song: I Am the God That Healeth Thee
1. I am the God that healeth thee,
I am the Lord, your Healer;
I sent My Word and healed your disease;
I am the Lord your Healer.

2. You are the God that healeth me.
You are the Lord, my Healer;
You sent Your Word and healed my disease;
You are the Lord, my healer.
(Don Moen, Sing His Praise)
