"Be assured that, if God waits longer than you

could wish, it is only to make the blessing doubly

precious!  God waited four thousand years, till

the fullness of time, ere He sent His Son.  Our

times are in His hands; He will avenge His elect

speedily; He will make hast for our help, and not

delay one hour too long."

- Andrew Murray

A SHORT MEDITATION

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

he bestows favor and honor,

No good thing does the Lord withhold

from those who walk uprightly.

O Lord of hosts

blessed is the man who trust in thee!"

(Psalms 84:11,12 RSV)

Do you want God's blessing on your life?

The answer is in the above Scripture.

Observe it is when God is "Lord" in our life.

Three times we see the necessity of God 

being "Lord" in our life.  If we have 

submitted to God allowing him to be our 

"Lord"and follow his instructions  then the 

blessing follow; 

i.e.,

God's favor and honor.

God will not keep any good thing from us.

And if we trust him, rather than our selves,

then his blessing will be on us.

TRUE SATISFACTION

"There are many who pray:

'Give us more blessings, 

O Lord.

Look on us with kindness!'

But the joy that you have given me

is more than they will every have

with all their grain and wine."

(Psalms 4:6,7 GNT)

Just like us today, 

we want more.

But the real satisfaction is not in

more  "stuff" or blessing.

But in the joy of the Lord.

For true satisfaction we need more

of God and his joy.

The blessing will take care of themselves.

"He is richest who is content with the

least, for content is the wealth of nature."

- Socrates.

REAPING FROM READING

REAPING FROM READING

I do not read as well as you do.  But I have learned 

to read a little bit.  And over the years there have been

so many things that; encourage, inspire, motivate, or

even warn me, that I feel compelled to share some of

it with you.

In David Wilkerson's book,
AMERICA'S LAST CALL,
is a paragraph on p.115
that cut's close home.
It regards the Church in America.

"Today God sees prosperity and abundance pulling
his bride away from him.  She's growing more and 
more earthbound- richer, more comfortable, less
mindful of Christ  And now the Lord must move
quickly to wean her back to himself.  How will he
do this?  First, he'll remove everything that has 
preoccupied her time and attention.  he declares,
'All of this wealth may have been a blessing to my
bride at one time.  But now there's so much garbage
in my church, the only way to get her clean is to
rid her of all these worldly possessions!'"
