Worthy to be Praised





"And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:  And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;  The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." - II Samuel 22:1-4

 Dear Friends,

 Worthy the simple definition: Good and deserving respect, praise, or attention; having enough good qualities to be considered important, useful,

 David through his experiences with God and his understanding of the great attributes of God, declared:  "...I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised."
 - Psalms 18:3

David experienced the deliverance of God.  The Lord's mighty hand saved him from his enemies.  He learned that God was his rock.  The Lord is unmovable.
He found out that God was a fortress. In the Lord he found a hiding place.  He knew God as a shield.  He experienced the protection of the Lord.

 We too can sing a song of deliverance. We declare that God is Our Rock as we trust in Him.  We claim the protection of the Lord.  He is Our Shield. He is Our Savior and Our God.

 God is good:

 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" - Numbers 23:19

 There is none like Him:

 "There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God." - I Samuel 2:2

 The Lord is changeless:

 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." - Hebrews 13:8
God is Worthy to be praised in all His Goodness...because of His Holiness...
never changing, never failing.

 He is deserving of all honor, all the time, for there is never a time that He is not present. Alpha and Omega.  As it was in the beginning so it shall be.  

 We praise the Lord for All He is.  We praise the Lord for all He has done. We praise Him. We worship Him.  We honor Him.

 He is Worthy to be praised.

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
