Good Morning World!
We've been busy trying to renovate our house, and what a mess that can be! Drywall, dust and dirt everywhere! So I apologize for not being on very regularly lately.
Psalm 88
The note in the margin of my Bible says that this Psalm is a prayer for those facing Death. I am not sure if that is true or not as I wasn't around when it was written, but I can tell that it is for those who are having a bad day and are looking to God for fresh new mercies!
Sometimes life knocks us down and we don't know where to turn, but Jesus is the friend that sticks closer than a brother! We may feel like we are as good as dead, but Jesus' mercies are new every morning! We may want to die, but Jesus is our saviour and healer!
Before you give up, look to Jesus he will take care of you, and help you find the answers you seek! Trust Jesus Christ and He will direct your path!
Psalm 89
This song of Ethan is a very challenging Psalm. for 2/3rd's of the song Ethan is praising and worshiping God for His mercy and promises, and then dives into the question that has been driving him the whole time: God have you forsaken us, are you going to bring us out of captivity? Are you going to remember the promises that you made?
This is interesting because there is no indication in the first 30 odd verses that Ethan is upset or would like to ask God a question. There is nothing but praise and worship in those first verses!
Too often we get caught up in the questions of life, and we forget that God is still Good all the Time! It doesn't matter how you feel or what you are going through Jesus loves and cares for you all the time! The first thing out of our mouth before any questions is praise, worship and thanksgiving! If we are going to have a great lasting relationship with God our saviour Jesus Christ then we need to learn how to stay in touch with Him!
Yours for Thanksgiving,
Pastor Fred
