To Mourn

Blessed are those who mourn,For they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 NKJV Have you ever mourned for the sin that is in this world? When little children are hurt? When wives or girlfriends are abused? When people flippantly curse God or use His name in vain? There is so much sin in this world. Sometimes it hurts

Be Humble

3. Blessed are the poor in spirit,For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.5. Blessed are the meek,For they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:3, 5 NKJV Father God,We are so thankful for all that You have done, shown and given to us. You are awesome. Your word is light to our path. We acknowledge that on our own we are nothing.

Yes or No

33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor

Exceed

For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:20 NKJV The scribes and Pharisees were very religious. They knew what they were supposed to do and they did it but often it was a show of sorts

Watching Over Us

Great and Glorious Day!

25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,And He shall stand at last on the earth;26 And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,That in my flesh I shall see God,27 Whom I shall see for myself,And my eyes shall behold, and not another.How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25-27 NKJV Father God,How wonderful You are. How precious and holy is Your name.

Lest We Forget

20 Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said:“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,And naked shall I return there.The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;Blessed be the name of the Lord.”22 In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong. Job 1:20-22 NKJV We have to remember

Shout for Joy

11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You;Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them;Let those also who love Your nameBe joyful in You.12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous;With favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalm 5:11-12 NKJV We can trust God. His word and all of His promises

A Call to Praise

Praise the Lord!Praise God in his sanctuary;    praise him in his mighty heaven!2 Praise him for his mighty works;    praise his unequaled greatness!3 Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horn;    praise him with the lyre and harp!4 Praise him with the tambourine and dancing;    praise him with strings and flutes!5 Praise him with a clash of cymbals;    praise him with loud clanging cymbals.6 Let

Fasting

I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. 18 Then no one will notice
