"Only Life Changes"

“Treasure Box”
The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations.
2 Peter 2:9
“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”

Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets {In visions, dreams, and even face to face} telling them little by little about His plans. But now in these days He has spoken to us through His Son, to whom He has given everything and through whom He made the worlds and everything there is. God’s Son {Jesus} shines out with God’s glory, and all that God’s Son is and does marks Him as God. He holds up Heaven and earth by the mighty power of His command. He is the One Who died to cleanse us and clear our record of all sin, and then sat down in highest honor beside the great God of Heaven. Thus He became far greater than the angels, as proved by the fact that His Name “Son of God,” which was passed on to Him from His Father, is far greater than the names and titles of the angels. Amen.
Hebrews 1:1-4
May He be pleased by all these thoughts about Him, for He is the source of all my joy. Amen!
Psalm 104:34

Psalm Chapter 37:1-40

(1-2) Don’t worry about the ungodly:
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
(3-4) Put your trust and delight in the LORD:
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
(5-6) Trust God to protect and promote you:
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
(7-8) Find rest in the God who deals with the wicked:
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
(9-11) Trust that God will punish evildoers and reward the meek:
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
(12-15) With a laugh, God defeats the wicked:
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
(16-17) God’s blessing upon the humble righteous:
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
(18-20) The lasting good of the upright:
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
(21-22) Blessing and cursing:
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
(23-24) God’s guidance and support for the good man:
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
(25-26) A testimony of God’s blessing and care for the righteous:
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
(27-29) The promised reward for obedience:
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
(30-31) The character of God’s righteous one:
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
(32-33) The character and the response of the wicked:
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
(34-36) An exhortation to trust, based on testimony:
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
(37-38) An invitation to gain the same testimony:
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
(39-40) The reliable help and deliverance of the LORD:
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Lord Jesus, I know that You have a plan for my life which I can hinder when I seek to do stuff my way. Please, forgive me for the times that I have allowed the wicked ways of the ungodly to disturb my rest in You. Keep me from anxious thoughts and may my I learn to be still in Your presence, to rest in Your unfailing love and to wait patiently for You to take action, knowing that You work all things together for our benefit and for Your glory. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

A person who can’t talk, they learn to do sign language. Not everyone knows sign language. The person who can’t talk, in their heart they can pray for you. They can see that what ever situation you are going through. Then weeks later see that God answered their prayer they spoke in their heart for you. God can hear the heart. Amen! Like you see a person holding a sign on a street corner and you can’t get to them to help them. You pray for them and weeks later you see them working at a place of employment and you know you prayed for that person. What joy in knowing God answered this prayer. People look at you when you speak out loud to God, but don’t know who you are talking too. They’ll say: Look! That person is talking to themselves. When actually you are talking to God. With your mouth closed and you speak to God from your heart. He hears you. When the person who can’t talk needs someone to understand them and sign language or writing it down doesn’t help they look to God to fulfill their needs and God guides the answers for the solutions to their problem or situation. I know this all so well. Amen.
When we were created. God placed in each of us spirit. This is what makes us like God and unlike other creatures. When we surrender ourselves to God, our spirits come to life, and that spirit inside us bears witness that God, is who He says He is, That’s all the evidence we need. We don’t have to see with our eyes what we have seen with our hearts. Our hearts speak with gratitude, praise and supplication.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
Mark 10:45-52

The LORD detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.
Proverbs 11:20

We have this shih tzu. Her name is Molly we inherited her. Molly is 119 years old in dog years. 17 years old in human years. She is blind. She has pink skin for eyes. She is so funny, when I take her outside. She just like to go around in circles. She is not playful like other dogs. But she is happy being loved and well taken care of. She knows when I am close to her outside. When I am at my computer, she will lay down at my feet. Her spirit knows. She knows where her bed is and the door to get out and where her food and water is at. Molly is a blessing in my heart.
Thank you for reading and I hope this message helps someone today.
Have a awesome day full of blessings and joy and enjoy this new day God has given us all.

Summary: Psalm 36 is kind of a cross between a lament psalm and a meditative psalm. It has all the five ingredients of a lament psalm , the lament, where David reveals the problem he needs God’s help to work through. “probably when he was struck at either by Saul or by Absalom; for in it he complains of the malice of his enemies against him.” Then there’s praise to God, ‘invoking: calling on in prayer’ God for help, asking God for whatever the psalmist needs, and then expressing confidence in the Lord. David triumphs in the goodness of God to him.
Psalm Chapter 36:1-12
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He devised mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he abhorred not evil. Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reaches unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preserves man and beast. How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

Father God, When I reflect on Who You are my Lord and God, it gives me a peep into the splendor of Your person, Your will, Your guidance and Your character. I thank You and praise You, for the many reassurances that You give my fainting soul, in these precious promises about Your character. I thank You and praise You for expressing Your love, faithfulness, might and justice in the Person of the Lord Jesus. Thank You for sending Him to die on the cross and to rise into newness of life, so that I may be forgiven and brought into fellowship with You. May I be bold with courage in sharing the truth of Your splendor and greatness with all You put in my path today. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Power Verse:

“Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.”
(Psalm 36:5)

“Only For God”
Our bodies can’t survive long without food, water or exercise. God hard wired our bodies to remind us of the face we can’t live without these three things. If you eat and don’t exercise, you become a hermit. When we are hungry, our stomachs rattle and grumble. When we are thirsty, our mouths and throat grow dry and we get dizzy. Our bodies let us know what it needs in many ways. Our minds think of ways to quench it.

In the same way God calls us to share our intimate thoughts and feelings, this is the relationship He wants with us. When our soul’s hunger for His presence, we can easily confuse that longing with feelings of grievance, sadness, or lack of interest. God promises that when we turn our thoughts to Him, that longing will be satisfied. God keeps close to us every moment and desires us to keep close to Him.
My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word. My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, “When will you comfort me?” Though I am like a wineskin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees. How long must your servant wait? When will you punish my persecutors? The arrogant dig pits to trap me, contrary to your law.
Psalm 119:81-85
In this Psalm David reminds me of how Pastors have it rough. Pastors who do their work well should be paid accordingly and be highly appreciated, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. For the scriptures read, “Never tie up the mouth of an ox when it is treading out grain, let him eat as he goes along!” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!” Don’t listen to complaints against the pastor unless there are two or more witnesses to accuse him. If he has really sinned, then he should be rebuked in front of the whole church so that no one else will follow his example. I solemnly command you in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Angels to do this whether the pastor is a special friend of yours or not. All must be treated exactly the same. Never be in a hurry about choosing a pastor or you may overlook his sins and then it will look as if you approve of them. Be sure that you yourself stay away of sin.

1 Timothy 5:17-22

A gossip goes around spreading rumors, while a trustworthy man or woman tries to quiet them.

Proverbs 11:13

Father God, even when I’m unaware of it, I know my soul longs for You. Teach and guide me how to draw closer to You more than ever to You each day. Thank You and praise You for friends and family. Thank You for placing us in families, in the home, in our local churches, and being Your children in a Christian world. Help me to grasp every opportunity to care for those You place in my path, those that are younger who need guidance and encouragement. Those that are older and need loving care and support, especially in a world so uncertain. Thank You for all Pastors, their family’s and thank You for their hearts. Develop in me Father God, a godly attitude that fixes my hope on You alone, and I pray that I would develop the privileged habit of drawing close to You, moment by moment and day by day, in humble requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings, for You are my God and I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to Him, and sup with him, and he with Me.

Revelation 3:20
Lord, teach me to listen. Help me to creatively wait in thy presence. May Thy voice find mine a listening ear in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
“God is Love and Inspiration from Heaven”
Good morning. I want to say the bible is like a compass. It points us in the right direction when we are lost or we just need to find our way. When we rely on the trustworthiness of the bible, we can trust its inspiration and the love God has for His people. The bible leads us in the right direction. We choose whether we will follow in it’s ways or keep it on the shelf to get dusty.
{All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching. rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16}
We can be inspired by the mentors in our life. Still the perfection of God, The Spirit of God, The Wisdom of God and Gods character are the most positive influence we can find in this world. God has promised to inspire the direction for our lives.
{Everything I will say is true and sincere, just as surely as the spirit of God All-powerful gave me the breath of life. Job 33:2-4}
Dear Friends, let us practice loving each other, for love comes from God, and those who are loving and kind show that they are the children of God and that they are getting to know Him better. But if a person isn’t loving and kind, it shows that He doesn’t know God. For God is love. God showed how much He loved us by sending His only Son down from Heaven to bring to us eternal life through His death. So now we know what real love is; it is not our love for God, but His love for us when He sent His Son to satisfy God’s anger against our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us as much as that we surely ought to love each other too. For though we have never yet seen God, when we love each other God lives in us and His love within us grows ever stronger. And He has put His own Holy Spirit into our hearts as a proof to us that we are living with Him and He with us. Amen!

1 John 4:7-13

Father God, You inspire and direct me on so many levels. Thank You and praise You for promising to make Your chosen path clear for me in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Psalm 35:1-28 This cry of distress is the petition of a man falsely accused. It may well date from the time when David was being pursued by Saul. The psalm naturally divides itself into three parts, each ending with a note of hope:

1. Petition for deliverance (verses 1-10)
   Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelinagainst those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation.” May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, may ruin overtake them by surprise, may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.”
2. Expression of lament (verses 11-18)
   Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about. They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved. Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered, I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother. But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; assailants gathered against me without my knowledge. They slandered me without ceasing. Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;they gnashed their teeth at me. How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my precious life from these lions. I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you.
3. Renewed petition (verses 19-28).
   Do not let those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; do not let those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye. They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land. They sneer at me and say, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it.” Lord, you have seen this; do not be silent. Do not be far from me, Lord. Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God; do not let them gloat over me. Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!” or say, “We have swallowed him up.” May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace. May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant.” My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.
   Father God, I praise and I thank You that You are in control of this world, and will one day be moved to bring in Your rule of righteousness, and vindicate those that have been unjustly accused or abused. Thank You, Father God, that You are the One Who places men in power and brings down rulers, in order to forward Your perfect plan of salvation for the redemption of this world. Thank You for men like David, who have gone before us, but have set an example in trusting You to rescue their soul from the ravages of this world . I pray that no matter what I face in the days ahead I will trust You in all situations. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory and honor in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.”
(Psalm 35:17)

{Treasure Box}

And whosoever shall give to drink unto these little ones a cup of cold water, he shall in no wise lose his or her reward. Matthew 10:42

“Lets pray: Dear God, today I want to share the gifts of Your love and happiness with one who has less chance than I of finding them in Jesus Precious Name Amen. “

“Trust Jesus”

“We have trust issues when a friend or family member hurts us or a relationship that has gone bad or a child who retaliates over nothing but what their mind set tells them. So we will put up that guard secured wall and deny anything they say is truth. We have to learn to trust them all over again and it is hard to take down this wall, we have put up. We place trust in those in authority, those who we work with each day, Truth is no one is exempt, people are going to love you, hurt you and let us down. If you meant to type the word “it” in a sentence, but you typed the word “I” and didn’t mean to and say your sorry it was a mistake. People will take it to a whole new level of: oh my God! I can’t believe they made this mistake. A baby learning to talk says; I ate my food, but instead says it as I hate my food, mother goes and make’s that baby some new food. With no trust issues then realizes that child made a mistake, she chose’s to “Let it go”. It was a mistake. Some will hurt you all the more. Some will let us down, some sooner than others.

{This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:2-4 }

No one is completely trustworthy but God. He alone has the power, the resources, the time moment by moment and the will to ensure that He will never disappoint us or let us down. God alone is worthy of our trust and attention. God blesses everyone.

{Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD. The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction. Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools. Proverbs 16:19-22 }

Father God, help me to trust others when I must, I trust You always, knowing that You will never let me down, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Have a awesome day full of blessings and joy.

Chapter 34 This psalm was penned upon a particular occasion, as appears by the title, and yet there is little in it peculiar to that occasion, but that which is general, both by way of thanksgiving to God an instruction to us. I. He praises God for the experience which he and others had of his goodness. Here are some great ways to praise the Lord and what He says about them! Praise Him by lifting your hands. Praise Him with singing. Praise Him with your words. Praise Him with dancing and instruments. Praise Him in fellowship with other believers.
“Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.”
“Psalm 34:1-22
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
Father God, I thank You for Your Word and the truths it reveals. I am believing that like David, I would bless You at all times and in all circumstances. I pray that I may develop an attitude of gratefullness, praise and worship in every area of my life. No matter how the task may be at times when I get real busy. I am believing that in all things and at all times I would seek to glorify You in everything. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“{A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
(Psalm 34:1)

All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:37
Father God, remind us of why we are the objects of Your constant love and care in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“God’s Promise! We are His!”
This is my command: Love each other. “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
John 15:17-21
Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. John 15:23
The wicked shall perish; the godly shall stand. Proverbs 12:7
Surely Your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:6

Have a awesome day full of blessings and joy.
