From todays quiet time!

So a few days ago I began journaling again.
It is something that I feel is a part of me that I haven't done in a long time....

I haven't been myself for a while, and all the while God has been calling me back to life. Back to doing the things that minister to my heart as I spend time with Him. This is one of those things... Blogging and Journaling.

Here's what I read today.

3/20/15
Psalm 33

This is a Psalm of praise, and recognition
to God’s power and faithfulness. It starts off with a command for the righteous to rejoice in the Lord because the praise of the upright is beautiful v1

Eventually it begins to talk about the power and authority that God has. Verse 6 “The heavens were made by the word of the Lord, and all the stars, by the breath of His mouth.
v9 For He spoke, and it came into being; He commanded, and it came into existence.

Then we reach what is to me a very important part of this chapter, the truth about our strength and our own devices.

16-17A king is not saved by a large army; a warrior will not be delivered by great strength. The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.

20-22 We wait for the Lord; He is our help and shield. For our hearts rejoice in Him, because we trust in His holy name
May Your faithful love rest on us, Lord, for we put our hope in You.

We must remember that our hope must be in our God, for He is faithful. The things of this world and our worldly plans WILL FAIL! He is unfailing! This will not change!

“My hope is in You, God. I am steadfast. I will not be moved! I’m anchored never shaken. All my hope is in You.”
