Psalm Chapter 66: Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth: As in the previous and the next psalm, Psalm 66 has not only Israel in view but all the earth. The psalmist understood that God was not only God over Israel, but the whole world. It was good and appropriate for him to call everyone to joyfully praise God. This is a thanksgiving-psalm, and it is of such a general use and application that we need not suppose it penned upon any particular occasion. All people are here called upon to praise God, I. For the general instances of his sovereign dominion and power in the whole creation (v. 1-7).
Psalm Chapter 66:1-20
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for my inside voice and outside voice. You are making my outside voice new everyday. I lift up my voice in praise to Your glorious and honorable name! You alone are worthy, You alone are the Lord God Almighty! Thank You that You have saved me from the pit and set my feet on the Rock of my salvation. How awesome are Your deeds and I thank You, praise You and I love You Lord, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Dear God, help me to withstand the temptation of self righteousness, and all other temptations that keep me from knowing Your will in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Now I have given up everything else that I may really know Christ and experience the mighty power that brought Him back to life again, and find out what it means to suffer and die with Him, So that whatever it takes I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead. I don’t mean to say I am perfect. I haven’t learned all I should even yet, but I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be. No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to the {future} what lies ahead. I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us.

I am Your servant; therefore give me common sense to apply Your rules to everything I do. Psalm 119:125

Psalm 65: The psalm has a simple purpose: to express thanksgiving for rain and harvest, an appropriate subject in a farming economy. It is addressed to God in its entirely and presents Him as The God who forgives (verses 1-4), the God who intervenes in history (verses 5-8), and the God who provides (verses 9-13).The title of this psalm is To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. Charles Spurgeon observed this about the uncommon pairing of Psalm and Song for this composition: “The Hebrew calls it a Shur and Mizmor, a combination of psalm and song, which may be best described by the term, ‘A Lyrical Poem.’

Praise waits for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hears prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom thou chooses, and causes to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea. Which by his strength sets fast the mountains; being girded with power: Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makes the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visits’ the earth, and waters it: thou greatly enriches it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou prepares them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. Thou waters the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settles’ the furrows thereof: thou makes’ it soft with showers: thou blesses the springing thereof. Thou crowns the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
Psalm 65:1-13
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makes the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.

Psalm 65:8

My son Jon tried to end his life when he come out of jail. I revived him as the ambulance came and got Jon and took him to MH. Then he was taking to evaluation hospital. He had insurance back then.

In July of 2019 I made our paid property commercial. So our Brother and sister-in-law was using the drive way part of the property because we agreed to let our relatives use the property. December 2019 our brother-in law left with us his 2 park bench’s and bird bath. “The new man next door”, came and told me he owns that stuff. But it was on my property. The “new man next door” also told me he owned my driveway which was a lie! My brother-in-law had his property surveyed and my driveway was not included. So we closed off our driveway. Mean time I used the dolly to take the park bench’s and the water fountain back over the other property cause I didn’t know and “The man next door” threatened to call the police and I shouldn’t of listened to” The man next door” because he was just bulling me and “The new man next door” watched me struggle carrying the stuff back. Then asked me when I was finished if I needed help. This property I took back, belonged to my Brother and sister in law not “The new man next door” Then “The new man next door” started letting his dog run my fence deliberately just for the dogs to fight, like this was going to control us. “The new man next door” knew when we came outside and sent his dog to the fence and still does to this day. Then one day of late February 2021 his daughter was riding her bike and let their dog attack my dog while I was holding my dog on a leash. Their dog was off a leash, she deliberately let her dog attack mine while I held the leash trying to get away from that dog that belonged to her. “The new girl next door” called her dog as she rode by and snarled a look like revenge and didn’t even stop to apologize.
One day early April 2021 “The new man next door” daughter called the police on my son Jon because our dogs ball went over the fence. Then another day April 24, 2021 Jon had our dog Pongo on the leash and was walking him and the dog got loose and went in “The new man next door” yard and “The new man next door” daughter would not let my son get the dog and she had many witness’s cause she wanted my son to go to jail and she said this to him harrasing him he proceeded home and then tried to get in our house and ended up breaking our door. We called the police and They came and we didn’t know what had happened this is why I called the police. Well they took Jon to TRI-County Conroe, Texas for evaluation. Then I went and picked up Jon at Tri County at 11 pm at night. I was told exactly what happen at this time. He was embarrassed by “The new man next door” and his daughter and hurt that she wouldn’t let him have his dog. Anyways. April 26, 2021. My son Jon went fishing that morning and I was looking for Pongo’s leash Sunday and my son proceeded to walk by “The new man next door” yard and the dog’s leash was on the fence of “The new man next door” . So Jon grabbed it at the end of “The new man next door” driveway. So “The new man next door” daughter called the police on Jon and Jon was arrested for trespassing.
We went to 501 Thompson (Suite 300) Conroe, Texas I believe Tuesday April 27, 2021 for a (Emergency Detention Warrant) Medical Emergency police came and took Jon to Tri County where Jon was released that evening of the 27th of April 2021.
April 28, 2021 I was walking around taking pictures like I always do down the paths of Lakeland and I was walking on the street and “The new man next door” was putting the trash out. So I said good afternoon. “The new man next door” slowly walked towards me and asked what is the problem with your son I shrugged my shoulders and said “What’s wrong with my son? He said that Jon has scared his daughter. Then his daughter comes out screaming at me about me walking on her property. I said nicely this is the street I am taking photos and she said you can’t take photos of my house. I said I wasn’t taking photos of your house. I said I always walk around taking photos. She said well you was over on your path taking photos ,now you are in front of my house. I said call the police cause I have the right just as before to walk where I want to. I said I have done nothing to you. She preceded to get upset and let me know why I shouldn’t let my son live in the neighborhood and how I was a bad mother etc. In her way of childish talking of course it is my word against hers. I was not at all on her property! But it was made true she was watching me close. That afternoon my son Jon wanted to go fishing and so I took my school book and notepad and was reading my school book and being a good mom watching and taking care of my son so I didn’t have to deal with the grief. So I was studying and my son was doing what he wanted to do. Then she comes out side and I was reading my book didn’t know she was there and she is yelling at me saying I am just like my son standing in front of her house. I was not. An saying she was going to smear me and my son all over social media and just being out right evil. So I ignored her. No one should put up with this kind of neighbor harassment
My son has been on “The new man next door” property 4 times only

1. When I asked him to take something over to “The new man next door” daughter.
2. When my son went over with me to give her acard and jelly I had made as a gift for “The new man next door” and his daughter.
3. To get the dogs ball and “The new man next door” daughter called the police.
4. To get Pongo our dog’s leash.
   No neighbor should have to put up with neighbors who cause problems. We have done nothing to hurt or harm these people.

Anything that’s done apart from faith is sin. Roman’s 14:23
Even if we believe that it makes no difference to the Lord that we do these things, still we cannot just go ahead and do them to please ourselves; for we must bear the “burden” of being considerate of the doubts and fears of others. Of those who feel these things are wrong. Lets please the other fellow, not ourselves, if it is for his good and builds him up in the Lord. Jesus Christ didn’t please Himself. As the prophets said, He came for the very purpose of suffering under the insults of those who were against the Lord. Romans 15:1-3

Psalm 64 emphasizes the devious nature of David’s enemies. They use secret plots. They shoot in secret. They attack suddenly. Especially because David mentions an attack by arrows from a hidden or secret position, his enemies act like the ancient version of snipers. The psalmist earnestly begs of God to preserve him from disquieting fear. The tongue is a little member, but it boasts great things. The upright man is the mark at which the wicked aim, they cannot speak peaceably either of him or to him. There is no guard against a false tongue.
Psalm 64:1-10
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Father God, thank You for David’s example of a person who confided in You even when others plotted against David, You stuck by Him through it all. Thank You when our enemies plot against us. You hear, see and respond to them with their own evilness and let them fall into their own pit of injustices they prepared for themselves to hurt others. I thank You and praise You that You are a Father God of justice for the righteous man and woman. You are Your Children’s All and All Glorious Father. A Father that loves his children who do right, even if they are harasser or gossiped about. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. Psalm 64:10

Proverbs 11:25

Father, let me stop being stingy with my love in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

This is what I have asked of God for you: that you will be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love, and that you will have the rich experience of knowing Christ with real certainty and clear understanding. For God’s secret plan, now at last be made known, is Christ Himself.
In Him is hidden all the mighty, untapped treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am saying this because I am afraid that someone may fool you with smooth talk.
For though I am far away from you my heart is with you, happy because of your strong faith in Christ.
And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust Him too for each days problems; live in vital union with Him.

Psalm 63 – Love Better than Life The title of this psalm is, A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. Most commentators believe it to belong either to David’s wilderness years before he came to the throne of Israel, or to his brief exile from the throne in the rebellion of Absalom. Psalm 63 is the 63rd psalm from the Book of Psalms. It was written by David. It is about being stranded in the wilderness away from one’s family. In the Greek Septuagint version of the bible, and in its Latin translation in the Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 62 in a slightly different numbering system.
Psalm Chapter 63:1-11
O’ God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsted for thee, my flesh long for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul follow hard after thee: thy right hand uphold me. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for the example of David and others that remind us day by day that You are a covenant-keeping God whose never, failing loving-kindness is greater than life itself. My soul thirsts for You in a weary and heart breaking land. I thank You and praise You Father that You have promised never to leave me not forsake me and to uphold me with Your righteous hand. Thank You that Your hand guides and provides. I pray that I may cling tight hold of You every moment of the day, knowing that You have promised to support me and our neighbors with Your righteous right hand. Your timing is perfect and You work all for Your glory. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Your Precious Name Jesus Amen.

“Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.”
(Psalm 63:3)

Commentary on Psalm 62:1-7. We are in the way both of duty and comfort, when our souls wait upon God; when we cheerfully give up ourselves, and all our affairs, to his will and wisdom; when we leave ourselves to all the ways of his providence, and patiently expect the event, with full satisfaction in his goodness. Here, David began by declaring his great confidence in and trust upon God. Psalm 62 seems to come from a time of trouble, yet it asks God for nothing. It is full of faith and trust, but has no fear, no despair, and no petition. The main theme of the psalm is the right and wrong objects of faith. If we trust in God, we’re secure. If we trust in men or in things, we’re depending on that which is lighter than breath (Psalm 62:9). Interestingly, even though David was in a life-threatening situation, the psalm contains no prayer.
Psalm Chapter 62:1-12
Truly my soul waits upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongs mercy: for thou renders to every man according to his work.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your Powerful mind that created everything. I thank You and praise You that You have given my mind to me as a gift to take care of. Thank You that this mind can heal the body. I am believing for no decay in this body of mine until I am well away from it and my spirit is with You in Heaven. I am believing for healing of bodys Jehovah Rapha and Your hedge of angels around all Your creation that love You. I thank You and praise You , for the cloud of witnesses that demonstrated a quite confidence in You. Hush my heart today I am believing, and help me, like them, to fix the thoughts of my mind and the meditation of my heart on You alone and quietly wait in silence for You. Knowing You are my Rock of Salvation, my Defense and Defender. My Lord, my Way, my very breath, my life and my All in All, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.

As the Father hath loved me, so I have loved You; continue ye in My love. John 15:9

Lord, I love You because You first loved me in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

While God is the Creator of all, He is not the Father of all. Only those who through the powerful working of the Spirit of God believe upon and receive Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for their sins are reconciled to God and adopted into His family.

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12–13
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. Romans 5:10

The church should take loving care of women whose husbands have died if they don’t have anyone else to help them.
But if they have children or grandchildren, these are the ones who should take the responsibility, for kindness should begin at home, supporting needy parents. This is something that pleases God very much.
The church should care for widows who are poor and alone in the world if they are looking to God for His help, and spending much time in prayer; But not if they are spending their time running around gossiping, seeking only pleasure and thus ruining their souls.
This should be your church rule so that the Christians will know and do and do what is right. But anyone who won’t care for his own relatives when they need help, especially those living in his own family, has no right to say he is a Christian. Such a person is worse than a heathen.
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the LORD’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
1 Timothy 5:3-10
Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God who made them. To help the poor is to honor God.
Proverbs 14:31

Father God, thank You for the love and commpassion You have for me each day. Even when I am unaware of it, I know You will hold me and not let go. I know my soul longs for You. Guide and teach me how to draw closer to You each moment of each day and help the poor and powerless that You guide in my path of prayer and physical assistance in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
