The Lord's Care for His People
1) Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
2) The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3) His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth forever.
4) He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5) He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
6) He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7) The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8) They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9) He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: Job. 28.28 · Prov. 1.7 ; 9.10 a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Let Us Pray: Father we come to you Lord and we give you worship and glory, honor and praise. Teach us Lord how to worship you. Teach us how to praise you, how to submit to you and how to let our life be a reflection of your ways and not ours. Let us be taught of you, how to be molded into your image in our hearts and in our souls, in our being. Lord we are sick and tired of our none productive life's in your idea for what you would have us to do and stop production of a life of what we think of as being Godly of being Christian.
Lord we seek your face today, now and forever, saying Lord Jesus have your way in our lives. Father gives us your ability in our life to be able to stand up to the things of this world that are in our lives and to be able to say, life stop!!!!!!!!!!! I no longer want you the way you have been!!!!!! I want my life the way that the King of Kings, The Lord of Lords, The savior of my soul, Jesus Christ wants my life to be.
Lord, I give you all rights of my life, my being, my control of my decisions, I give this to you Lord Jesus that you may take me to the potters house of your correction. That you can put me upon the potters wheel of your control, to shape me, make me, and to mold me into what you need me to be in order to accomplish your purpose for my life. And Lord if need be I give you permission to crush what I am, in order for you to a the water of your Spirit to my broken vessel, so as to make me able to be reformed by you Jesus. That I may be a vessel of honor and not a vessel of dishonor. I also pray Lord that I would be totally emptied of me, of my ways thoughts and deeds and that I would be filled instead with your Spirit, that I would be able to be used of you, bringing you glory and honor and respect, drawing others to you by the way that we live. By our testimony of how because of you in our life we are able to be saved healed and delivered, offering to others this blessing, with the evidence being our own life.
Thank You Lord Jesus - AMEN!

Hello my friends, Willy here. I guess as you see that I have a passion for the things of Christ. Well after all what else is there? You see as we submit our life to Christ it is only then that we will ever find true happiness and contentment in our own lives first, then in our life with others, our spouses, and our families, jobs and life in general. But it seems that to many times life in general which comes last in the list, is the place where we try to implement Christ into our life instead of him first as I stated last week with the scripture of You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me. That would include that greatly worshipped god of SELF.
OUCH!!!!!!
You, I will tell you that includes me. But oh the great blessing of simply going to God and saying, Sorry Father forgive me.
Let me put it this way. We don't ever make mistakes in our service to God. We commit sin, but all to often the church and preachers are afraid to name sin, so they say you just made a mistake. Can someone find in the Bible where it talks about making mistakes? So when we get real with ourselves and then with God, then we will see a change in our life.
When the Israelites came into the promise land they were confronted with all that the people of that land had looked at as right living. Kind of like what we go thru after we become Christians looking back at how we used to live. This made Joshua angry and so God spoke to the people thru Joshua. Let me now repeat those words to you.
Joshua 24:14-15: "Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord."
"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD."
Until Next Time,
Love And God Bless You All! --- Willy
