"Only Life Changes"

I can remember reducing tension in my children’s disagreements sometimes. I’d feel good that it all worked out. Sometimes I had to let it go and watch how they worked it out. Even if I didn’t get any credit for them working it out, not causing no more tension and them going back to having fun. Best part of being a mom is seeing the unity and resect they held for each other. “Speaking up for what is right was my motto for being mom. Want the to grow up as a person who is pure of heart sees goodness and purity in everything. { To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. Titus 1:15-16}
But as for you, speak up for the right living that goes along with true Christianity. Titus 2:1
My willingness to go with God’s desires and not my own. It offers a good feeling of knowing you could help someone else. {Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22
When you are doing the right thing . It doesn’t matter whether others approve or they don’t. God promises when we live for Him, He will present on us God-given faith, confidence, conviction and peace of mind.

Father God, I thank You and praise You, that no matter what dangers and evils threaten me, and no matter what terrors and difficulties come near me, that I may cast all my burdens upon You, knowing that You will sustain and strengthen me. Knowing that in Jesus I need never be shaken by terrors or threats. I praise You God that greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. I love You, I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

{Good people will keep on doing right, and Gods people will always be holy. Revelation 22:11}

Have a wonderful day full of blessings and joy.

Psalm 30 is a praise psalm. But as we study through this psalm it might sound sort of like a “lament: a passionate expression of grief or sorrow.” We’ll see David relate how his own pride seemed to bring God’s fearful chastening – which he says almost killed him. But the Lord was merciful and so David praises him for that mercy.
Psalm 30:1-12
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David.
I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.” LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help.” You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
Father God, I praise and thank You for Your loving-kindness and long-suffering towards me and all Your children. Thank You that no matter what difficulty, suffering, pain and even good stuff, I may go through in this life, that weeping will be replaced with laughter and pain with joy. I thank You that I get to see prayers being answered, this does fill my heart with joy. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name, Amen.

“For his anger endured but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
(Psalm 30:5)

Summary: Psalm 29 is a praise psalm in which the Lord is receiving praise for being the God of the storm. David is urging his fellow-Israelites to stop attributing the power and benefits of storms to the false god Baal. Instead, he urges them to worship the Lord alone.
Psalm 29:1-11
A psalm of David.
Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon leap like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD twists the oaksand strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!” The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

Father God, there are so many examples of Your great glory and majesty everywhere I go. Still, You are interested in me, Your child. Help me be aware through my hearing of Your voice, that I may live humbly and walk wisely before You, in spirit and truth. I thank You and praise You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Psalm 28
Book Psalm of David summary:
Psalm 28 is the 28th psalm from the Book of Psalms. This psalm “is a prayer: expostulating with Yahweh for abandoning His people in peril of death, and crying aloud for help, with hands uplifted towards the holy shrine; urging that He discriminate between them and their enemies, visiting the latter with retribution for their deeds; blessing Yahweh{Yahweh in Hebrew Is a Relational God. Yahweh is only used in the Bible when the author is talking about God’s personal relationship with his people. A great example of this is Psalm 19. The author talks in the first 6 verses about Elohim (another name for God in Hebrew) and his relationship with the material world.} , the strength and shield, and rejoicing in Him as the refuge for king and people. Glosses give a reason for the imprecation upon enemies and a liturgical petition for salvation.”
Psalm 28:1-9
To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit. Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts. Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back on them what they deserve. Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORDand what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again. Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Father God, , thank You that we can gain comfort and joy not jusst me but, all Your children gain from Your precious Word knowledge, and I thank You that You are my strength and my Shield. My heart trusts in You, and I praise and thank You for the help and comfort I received, through faith in Christ Jesus my Saviour. Thank You that Your ear is ever open to the cries and the cry of Your people. Help me take every thought and look to Jesus Christ in prayer from my heart, when circumstances arise that would otherwise overwhelm me and cause me to fear. The joy of the Lord is my strength {Nehemiah 8:10}, therefore my heart has Jubilation in grateful thanks and eternal praise, in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“A Psalm of Fearless Trust In God”
Summary of: Psalm 27 is powerful and meaning light is God and we need to hide under light and put confident in God, our strength is God and God is the lifters of our head and protection, thank you Jesus for what you are doing for us ..thank you.. I thank my God, my Light and Salvation and My Life.
Psalm 27:1-14:
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD. Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior. Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me. Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Father God, too often my old sin nature comes to mind. Let the powerful mind You gave me as a gift, never stop abiding in You and resting on Your promises. Help me to learn to wait on You and to be of good courage, knowing that You are in perfect control of my life. That all I am called to do is to quietly, peacefully and prayerfully wait on You to act on my behalf and to confidently wait on You with prayer, petition, worship and a heart of thanksgiving, praise and giving You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
(Psalm 27:14)

Summary of Psalm 26:Now, when we’re first reading through this psalm we might be surprised by the wording that David uses. He challenges the Lord to examine him. He asserts that he’s walked in integrity and in God’s truth. There is a way to do this. The way involves understanding the context of each of these psalms. In Psalm 25, David is suffering as a result of his sin with Bathsheba. So, he seeks God in prayer in the context of the guilt and danger that situation would have brought to his life. But here in Psalm 26 the situation is different. It’s very likely that this psalm was written as David was being hunted by King Saul. And so, David then appeals to God for help on the basis of the fact that he did nothing to deserve the treatment he was receiving from Saul. That’s where these appeals to his integrity come from. We might look at those appeals outside of the context and think, “Wow. David is being really arrogant here. He’s acting like he’s never sinned.” But that’s not at all what he’s communicating. He is appealing to God for help in the form of protection from Saul on the basis of the fact that he didn’t deserve to be hunted like an animal. It’s not his sin that has caused his suffering.
Psalm 26:1-12: Vindicate me, LORD, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the LORDand have not faltered. Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for I have always been mindful of your unfailing love and have lived in reliance on your faithfulness. I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites. I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked. I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, LORD, proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds. LORD, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells. Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty, in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me. My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the LORD.
Father God, thank You for the encouraging and comitted witness we have in the life of David. May I never forget that Your plan and purposes are working out in life for our eternal benefit and for Your greater honor and glory. Even during times when we areassail at times by difficulties, dangers, lacking and disappointments. Help me to cling to You every moment of the day and in all I do and say, may I become a testimony of a life who trusts in You alone. Let me be Jesus to others. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Summary: PSALM 25 – A PLEA FOR HELP FROM THE HUMBLE AND REVERENT
Like several other psalms, Psalm 25 is an acrostic, or nearly so; there are a few irregularities in the acrostic pattern. James Montgomery Boice suggested three reasons why there are nine acrostic psalms (9, 10, 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119, and 145). First, the acrostic pattern is a literary device used to add beauty and form to the psalm. Second, it gives the sense that the subject is being covered completely, as if from A to Z. Third, the acrostic pattern may be a device used to encourage learning and memorization.
In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good. Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Who, then, are those who fear the LORD? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose. They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, LORD, is in you. Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!

Psalm 25:1-22
Father God, lead me, in the path of Your choosing. I am believing You’ll lead me, along a level path, for Your name’s sake, for Your love and faithfulness are without measure. Thank You, Father God, that You are a faithful Good and the One who leads and guides, and You are the One Who corrects and trains, so shepherd me along the path of Your choosing. I trust You to lead me along the path of righteousness all the days of my life. I thank You, praise You and give You the glory in Jesus Precious ‘Name, Amen.

Summary: Psalm 24:1-10. God’s supreme sovereignty requires a befitting holiness of life and heart in His worshippers; a sentiment sublimely illustrated by describing His entrance into the sanctuary, by the symbol of His worship – the ark, as requiring the most profound homage to the glory of His Majesty.
A Psalm of David

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. They will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob. Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty- he is the King of glory.

Psalms 24:1-10

Father God, how I praise You and thank You that You are the great King of glory and Lord of hosts, Who created the world and everything in it. May I never forget to rejoice that every person that believes in You and are saved these names are written in heaven, for You are our Maker and Redeemer and by the blood of Jesus Christ we have been saved. Praise Your Holy and glorious in Jesus Precious Name Amen!

Summary: Chapter 23 Many of David’s psalms are full of complaints, but this is full of comforts, and the expressions of delight in God’s great goodness and dependence upon him. It is a psalm which has been sung by good Christians, and will be while the world stands, with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction.
Psalms chapter 23:1-6
A psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
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.
Father God, Thank You and praise You , that You are my Shepherd. You are all that I need and I love You Lord Jesus, Amen.

Summary of: Chapter 22 The Spirit of Christ, which was in the prophets, testifies in this psalm, as clearly and fully as any where in all the Old Testament, “the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow’’ (1 Peter.1:10-13 :Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.}Trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. of him, no doubt, David here speaks, and not of himself, or any other man.

“Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise”
Psalms 22:1-31
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.
Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises.
In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.
To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
“He trusts in the Lord,” they say, “let the Lordrescue him.
Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.”
Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.
My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.
All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me.
They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.
But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.
Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you.
You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.
From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.
The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lordwill praise him, may your hearts live forever!
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.
All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him, those who cannot keep themselves alive.
Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord.
They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!

Father God, I cannot begin to grasp what Jesus Christ had to endure on the cross on my behalf. May my life reflect eternal love, light and gratitude. Thank You that He died for me – I pray that I might live for Him, in Jesus Precious Name Amen!
