WORSHIPPING MY LORD IN 2008

Psalm 23 - - EXPLAINED
The Lord is my Shepherd
That's Relationship!
I shall not want
That's Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
That's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
That's Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul
That's Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.
That's Guidance!
For His name sake
That's Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
That's Testing!
I will fear no evil.
That's Protection!
For Thou art with me
That's Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,
That's Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
That's Hope!
Thou anointest my head with oil,
That's Consecration!
My cup runneth over.
That's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
That's Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.
That's Security!
Forever
That's Eternity!
Face it, the Lord and I think you are special.
What is most valuable, is not what we have in our lives;
but WHO we have in our lives
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He Is God~
He is the First and Last,
The Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be ...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand Him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,
and The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and
"Oprah" can't explain Him away!
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful, and Pure.
His ways are Right,
His word is Eternal,
His will is Unchanging, and His mind is On me.
He is my Savior,
He is my Guide, and He is my Peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my Comfort,
He is my Lord, and He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is Love,
His Burden is light, and His Goal for me is Abundant Life.
I follow Him because He is the Wisdom of the wise,
the Power of the powerful,
the Ancient of Days, the Ruler of rulers, the Leader of leaders,
the Overseer of the overcomers, and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a Relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
never forsake me,
never mislead me,
never forget me,
never overlook me and
never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is The Way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is God, He is Faithful. I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side,
and that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
Author Unknown but I mean every word of it!
In Jesus,
Your sissy,
Marlene
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
There once was an enlightened society. A diverse, multicultural society for whom tolerance was the ultimate achievement. Sometimes even tolerance of evil and wrong persisted until these words began to lose their meaning.
Yet, in this enlightened, tolerant society, there remained a class of people so unpopular, so "uncool" that it was actually fashionable to ridicule them, to show intolerance for them.
The "Uncool" were the only people whom it was actually politically correct to stereotype, deride and discriminate against. Entertainment industries portrayed them as evil, ignorant, hypocrites or all of the above. The media called them "religious right," "extremists," "fundamentalists."
Their "dangerous" ideas like traditional family and morality were mocked. "Whose morality?" they'd say. "Everyone's morality is different."
The citizens didn't see that having no morality standards was the same as having bad morality standards.
And no one denied the incredible decline in standards, increased crime, etc. that happened in direct proportion to the unpopularization of the beliefs of the Uncool. The same beliefs that once made them highly esteemed and trusted, now made them the objects of derision and scorn.
The Uncool were now the rebels. Yet what they believed and practiced hadn't changed for centuries. It's just that now they lived in an enlightened society.
The Uncool were occasionally able to convince others of the validity of their time-honored beliefs. But winning them over was difficult because being cool was extremely important in the enlightened society. Being cool was almost as important as being tolerant.
But the Uncool would share their strange message of every person's inadequacy (another thing that was very unpopular) and their need for a Savior. Some of the citizens, for whom being cool was less of a priority, were humble enough to see these inadequacies in themselves, embrace the Savior and become Uncool.
But most misunderstood.
Many thought the Uncool were saying that all but the Uncool themselves were inadequate and since they were better, they'd be the only ones to spend eternity with their Savior.
The Uncool weren't saying this at all.
They were only stressing that no one is cool.
No matter how cool they think they are.
