Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good

1 Chronicles 16:34

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
And say,
“Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.”
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting!

And all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.




~~~Reflections~~~

Give thanks to the Lord!
Giving thanks to the Lord, for all things, can be a changing moment in our relationship with God. He is the God of our salvation.
We were created in His image. Therefore we have the same type of feelings as God.
So yes when we don't follow His house rules, like our earthly parents, I believe He would be upset with us. Maybe even broken hearted at times. 

Like anyone else gratitude is pleasing to the soul.
God longs for us to show gratitude to Him.
Today lets show appreciation for the gift of salvation that was given to us.
Let us return kindness to God.
Shout to the Lord "THANK YOU LORD GOD FOR SALVATION"
God sent His Son for our Sins.
No matter how much we mess up, His mercy will endure.
Yes He is the Lord God of Israel. But He is also our God.
He is everlasting to everlasting. 

~~~Prayer~~~
Holy Lord, we give you thanks that you are the God of Our Salvation. 
We thank you for your mercy that endures forever and through every sin.
Praise your Holy Name oh Yah, for you are worthy God. 
Your promise is everlasting to everlasting, as you are.
We thank you Lord for this life, for being such a good, good God.
amen.

Dweling in the unapproachable light

dwelling in unapproachable light



1 Timothy 6:11-16 

I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,  that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

~~~Reflections~~~
Anticipation of the Solar Eclipse of 2017 united millions of people from all parts of the United States. Millions of Americans traveled great distances to gather for one purpose, to see the Eclipse.  The hustle and bustle, crowds, traffic jams,  it wouldn't hold them back from traveling long distances, and those who couldn't travel, they sat in their yards, gathered with neighbors, friends or family, all united with a passion to experience the solar eclipse, where the moon passes over the sun and completely covers the sun, and then completes the process and continues to pass over it. Most people even wore silly looking glasses, or found unique ways to gaze upon the moon passing over the sun. Myself included.
Who wouldn't want to experience the Handy Work of Our Creator? The last time the solar eclipse happened across the United States was 99 years ago. So you can understand the excitement and hype. Oh what Glory Our God deserves. With all His Power, Might and Authority,  No glasses or gadgets can be used to look upon His dwelling, for it is an unapproachable light! To HIM, Praise and Worship! Honor and Glory to the Lord. 
Holy, Holy, Holy!  Praise Him!
For the eclipse was a small representation of  GODS HOLY SPIRIT ABOUT TO BE UNITE AND FILL THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION! 
In your presence Lord their is so much more. Unite us in one accord for Your Glory.

AWAKEN WITH EXPECTATION OF THE GOOD THINGS THE LORD HAS INSTORE

Psalms 100

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations

 ~~~Reflections~~~

Total attitude adjustments can make a big difference in the outcome of your day.  Waking up with expectations of Good things to happen because the Lord is in charge of  all things, including the storms, circumstances and
our future destiny.

By starting your day with Thanking the Lord for His goodness, this can change your whole atitude for the day. Giving the Lord Praise when we enter into a new day, can make a world of difference.

Upon awakening, if we look out the window, and let that be our deciding factor of our day. we are allowing our circustances or sorroundings to dictate our destiny for the day.

We should be awaken with Joy in the Lord. With expectation of what God has instore for us.
If we look outside and see the foggy, cold rainy day. Are we going to allow that to determeine our day, How is that pleasing to the Lord?
He wants us to put off complaining, grumbling and Snippiness, ( Philippians 2:12-18 ) If we want the Holy Spirit to lead us in pure Joy, it can come from our gratitude to the Lord.  Having an irritable attitude, could withhold the Lords presence for day. It is important for us to put away the grumbling and complaining, Start the day with Thanks, gratitude, Praise and Rejoicing before the Lord is In this way we please the Lord. 

Psalms 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it!

( Philippians 2:12-18 )
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,  holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

His GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE!

Psalms 145
I will extol (Praise) You my God O King
And I will bless Your name forever and ever
 Every day I will bless You
And I will praise Your name forever and ever
 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.



I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.
 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy
The Lord is good to all
And His tender mercies are over all His works
All Your works shall praise You, O Lord
And Your saints shall bless You
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your power
To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations
The Lord upholds all who fall
And raises up all who are bowed down
The eyes of all look expectantly to You
And You give them their food in due season
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing
The Lord is righteous in all His ways
Gracious in all His works
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him
To all who call upon Him in truth
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him
He also will hear their cry and save them
The Lord preserves all who love Him
But all the wicked He will destroy
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever

~~~Reflections~~~

After reading Psalms 145 We should take some time and examine ourselves and see the many blessings that God has provided for us.
Startig a journal, or a jar with notes can help you to recall the blessing that God provided for you.
Give thanks to the Lord and share the many blessings to everyone, so that others many know that God is powerful.
My prayer is that everyone will get the chance to experience God's blessings and love.
Our encouragement to others should be of how God is Truthworthiness and debpendabilty. This will build the Trust in the Lord in others.

UNEARCHABLE!  WoW! What a word. Undefineable, Forever and ever. Yes our God is unsearchable, for if He was searchable, he would have limits. He Has no limits. If we could define God than He would then He would have limits. He is eternal. To fathom this is beyond human understanding.

Although we can decsribe some of the LORDS characteristics or attributes.
Such as His Worthiness to be praised, His Greatness, Grace, Kindess, Provisions, Mercy, Faithitfulnness, Kingdom, and eternal 

Our faith needs to be expressed to the future generations. Sharing Gods faithfulness,
as a testimony in our own lives, and throughout the Bible.
It is important for the future generations to know that He is caring, committed, dependaple, kind, reliable, reassuring and trustworthy.
That He Loves all his creation and supplies all our needs.

We lift up our voices and praise Him with gratitude, for He loves and cares for each of us and all his creation.
He is the God of an everlasting kingdom.
David describes some of the Lords characteristics of His graciousness and eternal greatness.
Behold the worthiness of our God throughout Psalms 145
He made all things, and there is nothing that was made without Him.
We are reminded that in all things we must praise Him!
What better to do than to acknowledge Him, and the only way to acknowledge Him is to praise Him.

Psalms 145 shows us many of God's characteristics.
It is His will for us to give thanks, praise and bless Him In All things.
He is Great and greatly to be praised
He is so great that He is unsearchable, He holds the mysteries, He is beyond discovery or understanding.
The generation shall praise His works to another generation
He performs mighty acts
He is does great goodness
He is righteous, gracious and compassionate
Slow to anger and great in mercy
Good to all, Powerful
His glorious majesty rules over an everlasting Kingdom
Hia dominion endures throughout all generations
He lifts us up
He is suppplies our needs
He satisfies the desire of every living thing
He is righteous in all His ways
Gracious in all His works
Lord is near to all who call upon Him
fulfill the desire of those who fear Him
Hears our crys
Saves us
preserves all who love Him
The wicked He will destroy
God is able to lift us up
He is righteous and kind
He is Holy and
Everlasting to Everlasting

Bethlehem Ephrathah

The Messiah is Coming

Micah 5:2-5

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,

Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”








Therefore He shall give them up,
Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth
Then the remnant of His brethren
Shall return to the children of Israel.

And He shall stand and feed His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God
And they shall abide,
For now He shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
And this One shall be peace.
