God is the God of all comfort. He will be the strength, stay, comfort, encouager, whatever anyone needs. God has given his Son to pay the price for OUR sins. He has saved us from what we really deserve-hell. We must trust in the Lord for redemption and freedom.

It is because of God that we exist and have our being. At any time He could 'zap' us and we would be in His presence in heaven. We should praise him continually-in I Thes 5:18 says in everything give thanks-who do we thank?? The Lord!! so many times our circumstances get in the way and we can't see past the immediate to see what God is doing in our lives. We need to focus on thanksgiving. When we praise continually it is then that God can be honored and glorified through us. Every time something happens I try to automatically thank the Lord.

They are rejecting Christ who is the head cornerstone. He is our rock and eternal salvation. When we come to the Lord-he is blessed and we are to love and serve him inconditionally so that he will be honored by our life.

This psalm is one of praise!! It makes me feel safe and secure that God is all that he says he is. God is good, he is awesome, he is holy. This psalm doesn't even do him justice.

A broken and contrite heart is one that has sought God's forgiveness and has done a total turn-around from that sin. When a sin is committed, a truly repentant heart is what God asks for and desires. Being "sorry" means you won't do it again. To have a contrite heart one has to be humble in order to see sin as God sees it.

Once we pray and tell God how sorry we are for our sin and ask forgiveness, we do have a clean heart. God promised to restore our fellowship with Him at that point. A pure heart is one that seeks to not sin and continually confesses any wrongdoing. An undivided heart is one that seeks to please God to the fullest. Once we sin, we must ask forgiveness for our fellwoship and relationship with God to be restored.

When we sin, we ultimatly sin unto God. He is not minimizing his sin, he is merely humbling himself before God. David is referring to the original sin. No matter who we are, we are born in sin. We need Christ's strength to overcome any sin.

The Holy Spirit inspired men of God to write the Bible and Psalm 22 is one chapter that is prophesying Christ's crucifixtion. Jesus knew it was referring to Him because he inspired it.

As He was hanging on the cross, he had just had the sins of the entire world on his shoulders. God couldn't look on him at that time because of sin. But God raised him from the dead and he now sits on His right hand.

He is referring to the Trinity. He is God. God is our Father, friend, stay, comfort. He is everything and all that we need. God is also a jealous God and if someone does not serve Him, he will have to pay the price. Things have to be done decently and in order.

His is the Almighty. He is on the throne. It talks of Him. No Lord, no life. His is the life.

I have been singing a lot of praise choruses this week. It is always uplifting to sing praises to my heavenly Father.

Where would we be without love. It is the bedrock of our faith. love, edify, charity, trust, faith. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

God's majesty!! How majestic is His name!!! Merciful. Forgiveness, gracious, compassion-they are all so important to me!! Everyone should and needs to praise the Lord cause he is the maker and creator of all. I try to verbally give praise to give God the honor and glory for what he does in my life.

God never ceases to amaze me with His love and forgiveness to me. He is my rock. His Word is always what I need.
