6-20-24   THOUGHTS

Our God is GOOD!  He created  our place to live, and He sustains it, moment by moment.  Col 1:17   He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.  John 6:68  Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.”  The psalmist says “They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;” and in a different way, “How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts.”   Ps 19:1  The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.  How great is our God!  Contemplate His majesty and power and glory, consider His love and grace and mercy.  Ps 63:3  Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.   Be glad in the Lord!

Ps 65:1-13    There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God, And to You the vow will be performed.    2  O You who hear prayer, To You all men come. 3  Iniquities prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You forgive them. 4  How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.  5  By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;  6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might;  7  Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. 8  They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. 9  You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. 10  You water its furrows  abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.  11  You have crowned the year with Your bounty, And Your paths drip with fatness. 12  The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills gird themselves with rejoicing. 13  The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

My Prayer:
May our hearts shout for joy and sing, that Jehovah is our God.  He has given us an alive hope that He will bless our eternity also. How great is our God!  Keep us unsoiled from the world.  May our desire be toward You, we would abide in Your presence continually.  We need Your help.  Thank You for the display of Yourself in this world and our creation.  May our desire to know You overwhelm us, so that our lives will belong to You continually.  
In the name of our Savior,    Amen.
