PSALM 39

 Occasionally, I like to write out one of the Psalms.  

Psalm 39

For the choir director; for Jeduthun; a psalm by David

1 I said,

"I will watch my ways so that I do not sin with my tongue.

I will bridle my mouth while wicked people are in my

presence."

2 I remained totally speechless.

I kept silent, although it did me no good.

While I was deep in thought, my pain grew worse.

3 My heart burned like a fire flaring up within me.

Then I spoke with my tongue:

4 "Teach me, O LORD, about the end of my life.

Teach me about the number of days I have left

so that I may know how temporary my life is.

5 Indeed, you have made the length of my days only a few inches.

My life span is nothing compared to yours.

Certainly, everyone alive is like a whisper in the wind.  Selah

6 Each person who walks around is like a shadow.

They are busy for no reason.

They accumulate riches without knowing who will get

them."

7 And now, Lord, what am I waiting for?

My hope is in you!

8 Rescue me from my rebellious acts.

Do not disgrace me in front of godless fools.

9 I remained speechless.

I did not open my mouth

because you are the one who has done this.

10 Remove the sickness you laid upon me.

My life is over because you struck me with your hand.

11 With stern warnings you discipline people for their crimes.

Like a moth you wat away at what is dear to them.

Certainly, everyone is like a whisper in the wind.  Selah

12 Listen to my prayer, O LORD.

Open your ear to my cry for help.

Do not be deaf to my tears,

for I am a foreign resident with you,

a stranger like all my ancestors.

13 Look away from me so that I may smile again 

before I go away and am no more.

It makes me feel good to write out a psalm.  I feel like this one really reaches into my own life.  How I feel about it and things going on in it.  There are just days that go by, where I miss the Navy.  I miss my friends in the Navy.  Also, I miss San Diego.  I wish I could have stayed there longer.  There I had friends who loved Jesus Christ, who were in the Navy too.

The Messiah Comes

 My friends, brothers, and sisters.  Shalom.  JESUS is truthful.  JESUS saves.  JESUS is our Lord, Savior, and Friend.  He fulfilled the law.  So, that we will not be judged, you see by the law, but we will be judged by the Blood of JESUS.  The blood saves us, and makes us clean, before the Father.  We need to believe in JESUS to be saved.  Each of us will give an account to GOD.  BUT when we call on JESUS we will be saved.   I feel like I am in a prison, of hostility from a certain person.  I consider this, my thorn in the side.  For some reason, they will not even let me apologize.  I must honor this, because I said, "Thy will be done".  Never tell a woman, this.  Because there is a false teaching going about, that women do not need a savior- do not need JESUS.  Let me tell you, that JESUS went to women- if women did not need JESUS, He would not have gone to the woman at the well.  JESU...

  I have written a number of times, about persecution.  already, in some form it is here.  Before Trump got re-elected, the Biden administration was targeting specific churches.  But the coming Persecution will dwarf Rome, in America.  The Left hates Jews and Christians.  They show this animosity, by allowing Muslims to practice there faith, but not Christians and Jews.   Make no mistake, the Muslim is NOT our enemy.  They are here to hear the Gospel.  This is why GOD has allowed them in.  They are descendants of Ishmael!  GOD has not forgotten him, nor Hagar.  The purpose of the Left allowing Islam in the West, and in America, is to foment revolution.   According to David Jeremiah, we cannot hide our faith.  We need to stand up, and be counted as GOD's People.  Remembering, that He has control.  This is what he said at the end of this informative message.   He suggests, that this week, i...
