Lead Me to the Rock that is Higher than I

The Psalmist David knew what trouble was; He had to run for his life.  Saul wanted him dead. Rage and jealousy had put Saul in a fit.  People loved David more than Saul. David made him feel small and humiliated.  David was stealing his shine and he will not have it. He wanted sweet revenge.  He had the power and the authority to do just that, so David had to run.  

This story is told so often. We wonder, why Lord? Why did this happen to me? What have I done wrong? The fact is, this is life. We win some and we lose some. The comfort we have is that we can go to our God.  When we feel abused, refused or excluded we can go to him as David did.  He will be to us a strong tower a shield and our protector.  David said when he felt overwhelmed he will go to God who stands like a solid strong protective rock. A rock that is higher than him and that when life overwhelms him, he will trust in that rock. Today, Jesus is our rock and our shelter, our strength and a shield from attacks.  We can run to him for safety. He will guide us and protect us. 

Like David prayed to be led to that rock, let us go to him in prayer. 

Today I come to you Oh Lord my rock and my strength!

My meditation of Him shall be sweet!

This is the declaration of the Psalmist David as he spoke of the Lord's greatness. He blessed the Lord and ascribed greatness to Him. He exponded on His majesty and honor, His splendid nature and faithfulness to His creation. He then declared that He would sing praise to God as long as he lives. He says that his meditation of God will be sweet and that he will be glad in the Lord. Meditation God has called all us to live and enjoy His abundant life. One of the tools that God has given us to preserve and practice the abundant life is meditation. As in natural, so in the spiritual, the right foods when eaten sustains us physically, so the right spiritual conditioning will strengthen us spiritually, guaranteeing our spiritual success. The art of meditation calls for discipline. It is a setting apart of oneself to get close to God. Someone said whatever you pay attention to will grow. My time spent with God causes my relationship with him to grow. I will have greater awareness ...

Count Your Blessings!!

Count your many blessings see what God has done! As the year closes we may be tempted to think of the negative things that might have taken place in our lives. Let me encourage you that before you go off on a negative rant, think of all the good things that has happened to you in spite of. Take on a new attitude, call it an "in spite of -I am grateful attitude." I am Blessed! Whatever it maybe, you have made it to the end of 2011 and now ready for 2012. You have more mountains to climb and more valleys to walk through. You are not getting weaker but in Christ growing stronger. You are not just going to be a conqueror, you are, according to God's word, "more than a conqueror." The fact that you are alive makes you a candidate for God's blessing. So today "count your blessings" and as the song says, "name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." You are blessed, so be a blessing to someone. Have a Happy and Bl...

Push Forward!

There are times when you feel as though you are walking through a strong sand storm and the winds of adversity seem to be pushing you backwards everytime you try to move forward. This is what life is all about. Life at its best brings with it lots of joy but with some level of adversity. I want to say to you today to push forward and fight back not in your strength, but in the strength that God gives you. Ways that will help us in pushing forward: Queen Esther had a difficult situation. Her uncle's life was at stake, so she set out to do something about it but before she proceeded she used what I think is one of the greatest tools in helping us to succeed in adversity. She prayed and fasted. She told her folks to pray and fast for her. We know the results, the wickedness that was meant to destroy her and her loved ones fell back on the one who planned it. God helped her to gain the strength during this difficult time to do an unusual thing. Have a right attitude! Another...
