"Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. Let all those …

What God Has Done for My Soul
"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 …
Defeat the Enemy
"O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast scattered us, Thou hast been displeased; O turn Thyself to us again. Thou hast made the earth to tremble; Thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. Thou hast shewed Thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Thou hast …
When I Am Afraid, I Will Praise His Word
What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Psalm 56:3-4 Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? When I cry unto Thee, …
Our Protection
There are many who are reliant for the government to protect us. Protect us from having no health care; protect us from a lethal threat from a gunman, or the terrorist who go to great lengths to terrorize, maim, and kill great numbers of people. Some even desire the government to protect us from poverty …
Delight to do God’s Will
As a Christian I have the greatest pleasure to know the God and King of the Universe; as do all who know Him as their Savior and Lord. We are not perfect or sinless; but we know that we are forgiven, and as verse eight of the Psalm says, "I delight to do Thy will...". …
Delight in the LORD
"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. 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; …
The Man is Blessed Who Trusts in the LORD
"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. O fear the LORD, ye His saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing." Psalm 34:8-10 (KJB) …
The Goodness and Marvelous Kindness of the LORD
"Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of Thy presence from the pride of man: Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the …

The Way to Go
When I was a younger teenage boy some friends of mine, and myself enjoyed going in some of the local caves and doing some exploring. One day we went back in one many people had been in. The mouth of the cave was almost big enough to build a small house in. When we found …
The Words of My Mouth
The words we speak can be very acidic, eating away at the heart and soul of those we speak so vile of words to. Someone has said, "The words we speak are like a fired weapon, once launched, it cannot be recalled." The Christian's mouth should be different from the mouths of those who do …
That They May Know
There is a big difference in Scripture for man to know that God is the LORD; and for men to know themselves to be but men. However, both are clearly tied together. Before one can know the Living GOD one must realize their feebleness before God. We must realize that we need God. He does …
I Will Praise the LORD
There are some who may ask, "Why would I, or why should I praise the LORD?" My answer to that is, "Why wouldn't you want to?" I mean we are talking about the creator of the Universe and everything in it. He is righteous. He is holy. He is just; and if you want to …
After God Speaks
This morning, as I read Job 42:1-6, I laughed. Why would I laugh? Because I saw myself in what Job says to the LORD. I have shared with you from Job 42:1-6 before and this is that link. Today I want us to focus on verses 5-6 though... "I have heard of Thee by the …
The Younger Voice
Sometimes you can be standing outside of a conversation, and have aches just to say something. You have heard things that you did not agree with, and you are just busting a gut to keep your mouth shut. Maybe you are thinking, "This is not my discussion, stay out of it", and sometimes that would …
