Dear Father in Heaven: I love You and I appreciate all the love You have for all of us. I appreciate that You love even those who do not love You. What a great example of love that You set for all of us to follow about loving our enemies. Lord, help us all to keep our eyes upon You and to follow Your guidelines for us in Your Word, our Bibles. Please watch over us this day and please help me with the message and to get it dispatched. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, I am going to try and get back to daily writing. I am still having trouble sitting at the computer as when sitting it hits right on the cut line of the surgery. God is wanting me to press on with the subject of Psalms of Salvation, so let me get at it.
Monday: October 12, 2015: Psalms of Salvation (Day Four)
Psalm 62:1 - My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from Him. 2 He alone is my Rock and my Salvation. He is my Fortress, I will never be shaken. (NIV)
Is your soul tired and restless? Do you struggle each day in your daily living? I am talking about getting things done and pressing on each day. We all need to take lessons from these scriptures. Look here, it tells us that our soul finds rest in God alone. Some people who are tired and weary don't go to God, they go to a bar or a bottle. Some might even go to others who are Christians just to talk to them, some might even go to a shrink and pay big bucks. The truth is that God is our answer and He alone is our answer and we can talk directly to Him any time we choose. It also tells us that our Salvation comes from Him and He alone is that Salvation. No one else can save and heal our soul, only our Lord Jesus.
In verse 2 we see He can be our Rock and also our Fortress, and I say He can be, He wants to be, it is just all up to us to come to Him and talk to Him. Let us take a look at a few more scriptures.
Psalm 62:7 - My Salvation and my honor depend on God, He is my mighty Rock, my Refuge. 8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him for God is our Refuge. (NIV)
If you want honor in your life you need Jesus. Yes, you need Jesus, you can see it right here in scripture. We all know that our Salvation depends on Jesus, but did we ever take time to think about our honor? I did not, not before I was pointed to this scripture by God today. In verse 8 the scripture tells us to trust in Him AT ALL TIMES. Do you get up some days and you are feeling so good so you get stated in your daily things sort of forgetting about talking to God? How did that day work out for you? I have done this too often in my life. I tell you the truth, I can't do it alone anymore and the truth is I never could, I am just now ready to admit it. I mention going to a shrink, and paying. Well, God does not charge, but let me walk you back a few years when I was at a very low point in my life, things had fallen apart. Marriage number two going down the drain. So I went to see a doctor of the head. I did all the puzzles and was asked what day was the worst for me. I told him Sunday as my service station was closed and I was lonely. So he had me come to his office at his home. I went to church and then to the doctor's. I rang the doorbell and he answered and sent me to a side door. It was his office. I went in, sat down, and soon he came in, dressed in a tee shirt and boxer shorts. I was dressed in a suit and tie. I talked to him for 30 minutes, gave him 75 bucks and left thinking which one of us was nuts. Soon after that I gave it all over to God and set out to re-start my life learning from my past mistakes, or trying to.
Brothers and sisters, if I could teach you one thing today, one thing that would really stick for you, it would be this. Learn to trust in God, not just for your salvation, but for everything in Your life. God is good.
Are you trusting in God today? Are you walking daily with Him? Will you take time right now to renew with Him? Let us pray together.
Dear Father in Heaven, I want to be a full-timer with You, not off and on. I want to walk daily with You holding on to You around the clock. Please forgive me of my sins, and please wrap Your loving arms around me and hold me tight, for You are my Fortress, my Rock and my Strength,and indeed my Life and my Salvation. I love You, Lord, and I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Brothers and sisters, please go forth now loving and sharing Jesus. Love ya.
Pastor Dan
