I am striving to incorporate my Bible study into my internet time, hoping that since Facebook helps me to form a blog (as well as promote a blog) I'll see if I can get it ALL done, and not leave any calling out.
I like to start with Psalms 119 because it combines prayer with God's Word, and nothing is more powerful than praying THE WORD!
I choose to do meditations in the open. It could potentially be a time saver, having my devotion become a ministry, somewhat like David's Psalms moving from being a personal tool to a help for all believers. Openness in a shepherd's life is both a obvious teaching tool, and a weapon, for it's difficult for the enemy to start destructive rumors when all the facts are already public.
Psalms 119:39Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
Lord, you are the One Who holds back reproach, a punishment we deserve, for we have all failed You.
Thank You for Your mercy, demonstrated by Your Son Jesus & His death on the Cross.
In Psalms 119, there are so many things God wants to do for us, if we would just ask Him. David put these in one verse prayers. I like them. They can be prayed anytime, like right now, if I may so boldly suggest!
Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes!
Give me understanding!
Make me to go in the path of Your commandments!
Incline my heart unto Your testimonies!
Turn away my eyes from beholding lies!
Stablish Your word in Your servant's heart! (vs32-38)
Psalms 119
God' Mercy blocks the river of His fiery anger. The humble head for the high ground of the Cross.
The sirens of Judgement are blaring, but we wear our earmuffs of Proud Ignorance, and go our way.
God's lessons are fierce. A moment of foolishness can destroy and kill. But His love on the Cross is also fierce!
The proud blithely play in the Park of Good Times, below the Dam of God's Impending Judgement.
The proud build a fortress of excuses, but on Judgement Day the excuses will turn to dust!
Politics wins. Statesmanship does the right thing, win or lose. Better to lose an election than God's favor.
Death terrorizes us, cruelly snatching loved ones, but we cry out to You! Jesus, save us!
Pride blinds my soul, and darkens my path, but You, Jesus, are my Light!
Don't give up! Mose was once a basket case!
Calm, smiling, helpful postal workers make me nervous... whatever happened to tradition?
Madness takes it's toll. Please have exact change.
When no one understands you, chocolate is there.
I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe... and I like it!
