Our Lord is Majestic

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Psalm 8:9 NIV Each new day brings us evidence of our Lord’s greatness. Each sunrise and sunset display His creativity in the sky. His beautiful color combination outshines any man-made art. Each flower is different and beautiful. Even the birds in the sky, creatures of the water and animals on land each bear unique characteristics He gave them. Even we humans have our own traits and beauty He gave us when He created us. We all have our own personalities and DNA which make us different from each other. The snowflakes are all different and no two are alike. How can looking at the earth—His creation not pierce the hardest heart? How can we not say, “Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.” Father, I want to praise you for your wonderful creation—the earth. The beauty of your creation far surpasses anything man can make. I pray that people open their eyes and see the love you have for us—the humans you created in your image. May they see you in the sunrises and sunsets and feel your touch in each breeze that touches us. Amen

We Have Nothing to Fear

Be strong and courageous! For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go, John 1:9 I know that I have nothing to fear God is always with me. I have faced trials and know there will be more in days ahead. Today’s preachers who adhere to the prosperity gospel teach that Jesus promised us we would be healthy and wealthy with no problems in life. They tell us if we are not healthy, we are to blame for not having enough faith. But Jesus tells us we will have troubles in this life. He even tells us that the world will hate us. But take heart. The world hated Him first. But I need not fear if I fully trust in Him. He reassures me that He who is in me is greater than he that is in the world. Take heart friend. He will never leave us. He will never leave us wherever we go. He gave that promise to His children and I believe Him and can rest in that promise. We live in troublesome and confusing times but if we cling to Him, we need not fear.
