From the Heart by B.Demaere

  Help Me God! (Psalm 43) As I meditated on this Psalm, I did not realize that today would be Thursday and that the post had to be published today which I am doing right now. The psalmist is experiencing adversity.   Does that ever happen to you?   Life can be chaotic. Most of my chaos happens because of my attitude to situations I find myself in.   They are all reactions filled with a lot of up-and-down emotions. Most of my situations and feelings through them can be dealt with the Light and Truth of God. Verse 3 (French Bible transliteration) “Make me see your Light and Truth, May they guide me to your holy mountain, (Light) May they drive me to your dwelling!” (Truth)   Light guides us Truth leads us.   Verse 4- Don’t you feel his desire to be with God and where he really is? He, then, realizes his mistake and notes that God is indeed his greatest JOY. Folks, there is nothing else that will bring you JOY like God.   Money is futile and does not last and s

  Revive me Some of us without admitting it need more help than others.   Honestly, I will admit it I need help more than others.   I am weak on my own, but only with God I am strong. The Scripture I want to share with you ( Psalm 119:154) is one that God spoke to me through my French Bible, one that I had previously underline and well marked.   In French it goes as follow: Prends ma cause en main et charge toi de moi, comme tu l’as promis, rends-moi la vie (Psaume 119:154)   In English, the same verse goes like this: Plead my cause, and redeem me, Give me life according to your promise. (Psalms 119:154)   Literally, in the French there is a pleasant difference than the English.   The French translation simply says: “Take my cause in your hands and load me on yourself like you have promised, give me back my life.”     I don’t find to often how personal the French translation, but this encouraged me greatly.   Some of us need our lives back.   It would be nice if

A song from the ascent to Jerusalem I look up to the mountain---does my help comes from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth! He will not let you stumble and fall; the one who watches over you will not sleep. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you!  The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not hut you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all evil and preserves your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. Looking up is safer whether or not the world says that looking here is the thing to do.  Our ultimate safety is up in the direction of the mountain.  Actually the Lord is the one who made the earth and the mountains and the heavens.  That is where my help comes from and not some material found in the mountains like diamonds and precious stones. If you want real help it's to the Lord that you should go because
