Lovingkindness

 

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.  Psalm 42:8

Standing Firm!!

 

I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.  Psalm 16:8

Life!!

 

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  1 John 5:12

David's Experience

 

David's experience is very instructive to us. While it teaches us that God can and will forgive us, if we repent of our great and gross sins  yet it also teaches us that sin is an evil and a bitter thing; and that, though the guilt of it may be removed, the evil consequences of it will cling to us and be a subject of sorrow to us until God shall wipe away all tears from our eyes! 

 - Charles H. Spurgeon

Glorieth

 

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Corinthians 10:17

Web

 

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. Job 8:13-14

Cleansed

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Corinthians 7:1

Do Good

 

Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man.

- Oswald Chambers

Psalm 25:1

That is, I direct my prayers to thee with hope of a gracious answer.

- Benson Commentary

We Are His!!

 

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.  Romans 14:8

Eye

 

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

Created in Christ

 

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

Rejoiced!!

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.  Psalm 119:14

A Present Help

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

A Candle

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Matthew 5:15

Made

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  Psalm 139:14

John 7:38

On the last day of the feast of tabernacles, the Jews drew water and poured it out before the Lord. It is supposed that Christ alluded to this. If any man desires to be truly and for ever happy, let him apply to Christ, and be ruled by him. This thirst means strong desires after spiritual blessings, which nothing else can satisfy; so the sanctifying and comforting influences of the Holy Spirit, were intended by the waters which Jesus called on them to come to Him and drink. The comfort flows plentifully and constantly as a river; strong as a stream to bear down the opposition of doubts and fears. There is a fulness in Christ, of grace for grace. The Spirit dwelling and working in believers, is as a fountain of living, running water, out of which plentiful streams flow, cooling and cleansing as water. The miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit we do not expect, but for his more common and more valuable influences we may apply. These streams have flowed from our glorified Redeemer, down to this age, and to the remote corners of the earth. May we be anxious to make them known to others.

Great Things

Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:2-3

On The Main Line

Jesus on the main line, tell Him what you want.  Jesus on the main line, tell Him what you want.  Jesus on the main line, tell Him what you want.  You can call Him up and tell Him what you want. 

- Fred McDowell

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22

Psalm 56:8

The heavy and continued trials through which many of the Lord's people have passed, should teach us to be silent and patient under lighter crosses. Yet we are often tempted to repine and despond under small sorrows. For this we should check ourselves. David comforts himself, in his distress and fear, that God noticed all his grievances and all his griefs. God has a bottle and a book for his people's tears, both the tears for their sins, and those for their afflictions. He observes them with tender concern. Every true believer may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and then I will not fear what man shall do unto me; for man has no power but what is given him from above. Thy vows are upon me, O Lord; not as a burden, but as that by which I am known to be thy servant; as a bridle that restrains me from what would be hurtful, and directs me in the way of my duty. And vows of thankfulness properly accompany prayers for mercy. 

- Matthew Henry Commentary

Salvation!!

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

A Horse

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Psalm 33:17

Pass It On

It only takes a spark to get a fire going; And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing. That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it.  You spread His love to everyone. You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring; when all the trees are budding. The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming. That's how it is with God's love, once you've experienced it. You want to sing it's fresh like spring, you want to pass it on. 

I wish for you my friend; this happiness that I've found.  You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound. I'll shout it from the mountain top, I want my world to know.  The Lord of love has come to me, I want to pass it on.

- Kurt Kaiser

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? John 4:29
