For Thy Goodness Sake

Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

           - Psalm 25:6-7 

When I look back over my life I marvel at the goodness of God.  I think about how naive I was. I was full of pride and could be very hard headed. In many ways my naivety remains. I can still be prideful and hard headed. But God. God has been merciful. I recognize my many shortcomings. I see that but for the goodness of God I would have no hope. 

Songs I used to sing, standards, the old hymns, I sang because that is what we did growing up in church. But God. He has blessed my soul and instructed my spirit. When the songs of the past are sung now, all of me is reaching to achieve melodious praise: “Then sings my soul...O Lord how great Thou Art.”   

I pray Lord God remember me for thy goodness sake. When I look back and remember just how good You have been...I cry thank you. Thank you Lord for remembering me. 

God bless! 

In Christ,

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
