Steadfast in the Midst
By Julie B Cosgrove | Comments Off
Psalm 46:9 We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
This Psalm starts out with the familiar verse – God is our refuge and our strength and very present help in trouble . (vs.1) Later on, it includes another familiar verse – Be still and know that I am God. (vs.10) The Psalmist tells us not to fear even if the mountains be moved into the sea.

Auld Lang Syne
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
When we think of New Year’s Eve, we immediately think of celebration—a new beginning, a fresh start, the old is past and the new lies ahead. The world will celebrate with parties and feasts, fireworks and confetti, family and friends.
David wrote of a celebration in Psalm 145, one in which every believer should engage himself or herself every day of the year.

Sanctified Help
By Julie B Cosgrove | Comments Off
Psalm 20:1-2 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!May he send you help from the sanctuary and give you support from Zion!
Sometimes it goes against our grain to ask for help. Perhaps we feel unworthy. Maybe we were raised with a do-it-yourself attitude. It might be that we have been disappointed in the past and people just have not come through for us, or so we thought.

A New Year’s Look
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
The Psalmist, through the picturesque words penned at a time when he was awesomely aware of God’s presence as recorded in Psalm 121:1-2, was probably speaking about the “hill” on which the temple was built, Mount Moriah. When he was at a distance, he would look toward the sanctuary, knowing his help came from there; he knew his help and strength came from the Lord.
“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.“ (Psalm 121:1-2)

Psalm 18:19 - He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
Why is it good to be brought out into a broad place? We often hear the Christian life is straight and narrow, not a vast expanse. But for the person who feels hemmed in by circumstances, or so closed in by life they feel they cannot breathe, being lifted to a place with an abundance of room and “breathing space” is a wanted change. What a relief to see sunshine, feel the fresh air, be able to turn around and move about.

Peace Level

Peace!
Everyone wants peace in their lives and in this world, but so few truly understand the Source of the true and lasting peace for which they long.
God promised “Peace” to His people…a God-kind of peace! This “Peace” does not exempt one from hardship; it only underscores God’s ability to keep those who have entrusted their lives to Him.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14 KJV)
From the manger to the cross, the Glory of Bethlehem morning was revealed to all who would receive Him. The same is true today; to all those who will receive Him, His Glory is revealed.
