Ok. I need some encouragement today. Anyone who chooses to comment on this blog entry I would ask that you post a verse/song/phrase that you use to lift your spirits. Something that you can use in Worship. I need to get my eyes off myself today and onto others and onto God.
The Bible tells us to build each other up. Bear one anothers burdens. Speak to each other in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual songs...singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord. So let's get making some melody!!!
I'll start.....
I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
The Lord is Good. His mercy endureth forever. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
A song I like (I blogged this recently):
The Lord is Good.
Tell it wherever you go.
The Lord is Good.
Tell it that others may know.
Tell of his blessings and tell of his love
Tell how he's coming from heaven above
The Lord is Good.
Tell it wherever you go!

Hi Loren! Hey, here's a link to a very encouraging music video (which I may one day post to this site). One of my favorite songs, of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZojMulFpKvw Below are the lyrics. The song is about our IDENTITY, and how we forget just WHO WE ARE. If you can, put on some headphones, and read the lyrics while you listen.... Staring At A Bird (lyrics) I'm here staring at a bird in a tree
Lying still, only wishing he were me
'Cause for a bird it's not a crime
To try and satisfy his bird belly hunger
Or fly the blue belly sky
And from his bird's eye view
He can pick and he can choose
He doesn't have to grieve his spirit
No he doesn't have to lose a moment's joy there in his nest
No matter what his mess, and he can barrel out his chest
And he can fly away...
But I'm pinned down in my bed again
I don't think I could fly (I wouldn't try)
If I was a bird I would be content
To peck along the ground
'Cause I'm pinned down again...
I'm here staring at a bird on a limb
Lying still, only wishing I was him
'Cause I could use a haven,
A nest above my fate
Call it a rest from the chasing of me pillow and my plate
And for a bird it's always right to love his appetite
He's too dumb to know the struggle, to weak to know the fight
He can fly south when he gets cold, sing until he's old
And on a whim, he can unfold his wings
And fly away
I'm here staring at a bird in the air
I wonder what I'd see if I looked down from there
I'd see a shattered temple, all it's members in a sweat
Everyone's been degraded, every sermon they forget
I'd see a man pulled from his bed by the same Hands of Love
That hung a cross around his neck
Just to remind him, remind him who he was... |

You guys are awesome. Thanks.
Evangelist Wilson - I LOVE that song. "I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free. His eye is on the sparrow. And I know he watches me." That song gives me tingles.
The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer. I will not fear what man can do unto me. |

Of course Yom Kippur should be a time of contemplation. However I find that this little reminder that Y'shua paid our price helps.
1.Who believes our report? To whom is the arm of ADONAI revealed?2.For before him he grew up like a young plant, like a root out of dry ground. He was not well-formed or especially handsome; we saw him, but his appearance did not attract us.3.People despised and avoided him, a man of pains, well acquainted with illness. Like someone from whom people turn their faces, he was despised; we did not value him.4.In fact, it was our diseases he bore, our pains from which he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken and afflicted by God.5.But he was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him, and by his bruises we are healed.6.We all, like sheep, went astray; we turned, each one, to his own way; yet ADONAI laid on him the guilt of all of us. Or: and in fellowship with him7.Though mistreated, he was submissive - he did not open his mouth. Like a lamb led to be slaughtered, like a sheep silent before its shearers, he did not open his mouth. |

| Considering our Saviors sacrifice for us does always give me joy. Joy that He would love us so much. Thanks Dave. |

A good person gives life to others; the wise person teaches others, how to live, Prov. 11:30
Praise the Lord! For His loving kindness is ever lasting. Psalm 106:1
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Col. 3:17
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt. 11:28
All those who stand before others and say they believe in Me; I will say before MY Father in heaven that they belong to Me. Matt.10:32
I hope this helps you Loren... I am praying for you and your family God bless you. |

I look to the hills from whence comes my help, my help comes from the Lord maker of heaven and earth. For nothing is impossible with God. If God is for us who can be against us? |

| When I'm low in spiret I cry Lord lift Me up for I want to go higher with thee . But the Lord knows I can't live on the mountian, so He picked out a valley for me. Then He leads mr beside still water . Somewhere in the valley below, then He draws me aside to be tested and tried for in the valley He restorest my soul. |
