Psalm 30:2

Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me ~ Psalm 30:2

 

In your times of distress and trouble, where do you turn? David knew the God who would deliver him, and save him from his trouble, and if you believe in Jesus as I do, you too know whom you can turn to when you need help. We are living in a world right now which is in desperate need of help and healing! From what I read, at this point there are more than sixteen million people infected by COVID-19 with more than 648,000 deaths! Not only that, but because of COVID-19, many people are unemployed and at least 265 million people are at risk of famine, as states the Dennison Forum. On top of that, people are losing their businesses; I expect they will also lose their homes due to the inability to make mortgage payments, and the devastating list goes on! I myself and healthy and know no one directly who has suffered in such ways, but more and more people are in the category of first-hand knowledge of such pain. Even so, my days sometimes are lost in the sameness of one day after another which is so abnormal to what life was, and so I too am one who calls out for help from the God who heals. We all need the Lord and His intervention! We all need healing from something! The only one whom can bring complete healing is the Lord Jesus Christ! Call out to Him, come before Him in praise for what He will do, for what He has done, and for what He is doing now in your life! The Lord hears our call, He hears our voices! Let us unite them for this world, and for the healing of all that needs His touch!

Proverbs 18:2

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in sharing their own opinions ~ Proverbs 18:2 If we are going to understand something, we must fully digest it so that when we speak, we speak with wisdom. When we have only half truths in our mind, our words become empty and senseless. We then puff out air rather than understanding when we speak. A wise person will want to improve their mind through learning in various ways from the world around them. A person who delights in spiritual understanding will find peace and enjoyment in reading the Word of God on a daily basis, and in participating with God’s people in a learning and praising environment – the church! We come together in corporate worship with the understanding that not one of us knows all things, but we bend our mind and heart to learn what God has to show and say to us. A foolish person makes a show of what they “know” to please their friends or to save face in front of them. More often a wise person will hold t

Romans 8:26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans ~ Romans 8:26 Many days, many times, I have the words for prayer. It comes forth and flows fairly naturally as I converse with my Lord God. I hope in the God I worship to hear me, and to receive my words, as I pray in the name of Jesus and believe in Him, my intercessor. He is my Living Saviour, my High Priest, standing at the right hand of God the Father. But there are times when my pain has been so deep that my words will not come. There are times when my agony is so piercing that what words I may speak would not be enough. And so, in my deep, black moments, I come before my God and let my darkest emotions erupt in sounds that only He can understand. The Holy Spirit within me cries out in my stead, and He becomes my second intercessor. It is not that He is not there with me in all my prayers, but there are times wh

Isaiah 43:19

Image
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ~ Isaiah 43:19 When we meet a challenge, we are often found discouraged, lost, even hopeless. Nothing is working, everything seems to be against us. We do not know how to move forward, so we remain curled up in a ball. Then, a glimmer of light shines through! Hope is regained and movement is stirred within. Don’t we become excited when we begin to feel it? God moves like that. We cannot see our way around it, but He can and does. And He makes a way for us out of the calamity of our fears. It is the feeling of springtime after a long winter, or the smell of fresh cut grass. Life stirs within and we move and we see what God saw all the time – the answer to our dilemma. Our desert place becomes an oasis, and we can do what we are called to do. Something totally unexpected happens, something unheard of, but it begins in our life, and we feel the
