Where do you go for Comfort? (Psalm 27:1-2)

The  Lord is my light and my salvation ---so why should I be afraid?  The Lord protects me from danger--- so why should I tremble?
When evil people come to destroy me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.  Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will know no fear.  Even if they attack me, I remain confident.

Where do you find comfort when you are hurting?  In your husband?  In your wife? In sex or alcohol or drugs?  Is your comfort in money?
All of those things and people are unreliable because they could be gone in a blink of an eye.  Overnight!

The Lord is my light - to light my way
The Lord is my salvation - to save me

What else do I need?  Why would I be afraid, he is my Comforter.  I am covered on every side.  Even when the tempest beats against the boat I won't drown. 

The Lord protects me from danger --- does it say from some danger, no if it doesn't say from all danger it's presume to be from all danger, any danger.  So why? Would I tremble? Is there any reason to fear anything?  Wouldn't it be even stupid to fear if God says there is nothing to fear.  Why would I even be stressed for one minute?

Even when people do things against me and become my enemy, they are the one who will stumble and fall, but not me because my boast is in the Lord.  I will remain confident all the way.  The Lord will make them stumble because he has a time for everything and everyone.  Just wait!

Even if a whole army comes against me.  No problem, I will go against the strongest, the giants, the Goliaths first and severe their heads and the army will run in fear because of what God can do.  Yes sir, that's my God you are messing with.  I am really confident he will stick with me on every side.  More confident in him than any of my friends...My friends could say 'no' but God wouldn't and that it's his promise to me.

I had rather hold to a dry rope with a knot in it when I am over a precipice than a wet rope with no knot.
Because the knot is my guarantee.

You can still choose the rope right now.
Jesus or the devil?
Jesus tells always the truth, the devil always tells lies.
It's a 'no brainer' to me.

People are not perfect, but Jesus is.  Trust Jesus Christ instead!

Have a great day!

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now ...

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it diff...
