Knowing God

The most excellent study for expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and Him crucified, and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest continued investigation of the great subject of the Deity.

"And whilst humbling and expanding, this subject is eminently consolatory. Oh, there is, in contemplating Christ a balm for every wound; in musing on the Father, there is a quietus for every grief; and in the influence of the Holy Ghost, there is a balsam for every sore. Would you loose your sorrow? Would you drown your cares? Then go, plunge yourself in the Godhead's deepest sea; be lost in His immensity; and you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated. I know nothing which can so comfort the soul; so calm the billowing swells of sorrow and grief; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead. It is to that subject that I invite you this morning. "
C.H. Spurgeon
Excerpt from Knowing God by J.I. Parker

Hope Everlasting

But the needy will not always be forgotten,

nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.

Psalms 9:18

Lord you are my joy and my song!!

You are my helper and my guiding light!!

For this reason I have such a great hope :0)

But Oh how do you put up with us? Father - Friend

Thank you for remembering me and standing by me.

I love you - sweet lifter of my head.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Psams 28:7

Attitude Creaps Into The Smallest Things

Mom and I went to the park a while back, had a little BBQ by the river.

It was wonderful!!!

I so enjoy being around her.

How often do I miss the best things in my life by simple having the wrong attitude and heart.

Wait--Don't answer that.

Why don't I do what I ought to do or why do I do what I don't like.

Like Paul I am living in this fallen world inside my own weak flesh.

I went riding on the motorcycle the other day with Pat b/c it was SO hot - just looking for a way to get cooled off - very aware of my own discomfort and sadly grumbling a bit. We decided to go by the McKenzie River to see if the air would be cooler, it was- and we were then too cool. (WOW)

I considered this - what comfort loving fleshy people we are. Pathetic really. Without the right attitude we will miss the best the Lord has for us and loose out on so much.

Check you attitude and give thanks in ALL things.

You will find contentment and peace there :0)

Forgive my Lord for taking the good and grumbling about the other!

Rejoice

This is a Day that the Lord has make I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Have you ever found it hard to rejoice in 'this day' that our Lord as given you?
Are there times when it is indeed a sacrifice to offer praise?
I believe by finding of our praise during times of great trial we strengthen our character & resolve - by making the choice to offer our hearts unto our Lord through wholesome words, deeds and thoughts, especially when it is hardest we are offering a sweeter more pleasing sacrifice.
May our hearts find the strength to live for the Lord in the shadow, and may it bring him glory.
2 Timothy 4:17-19 But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
