A prayer of David - Prayer for divine interposition

Psalm 17 A prayer of David. 1 O Lord, hear my plea for justice.     Listen to my cry for help. Pay attention to my prayer,     for it comes from honest lips. 2 Declare me innocent,     for you see those who do right. 3 You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night.     You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong.     I am determined not to sin in what I say. 4 I have followed your commands,     which keeps me from following cruel and evil people. 5 My steps have stayed on your path;     I have not wavered from following you. 6 I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God.     Bend down and listen as I pray. 7 Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways.     By your mighty power, you rescue     those who seek refuge from their enemies. 8 Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.[a]     Hide me in the shadow of your wings. 9 Protect me from wicked people who attack me,     from murderous enemies who surround me. 10 They are without pity.     Listen to

Fools have no interest in understanding

Want My Opinion? By: Anne Peterson Fools have no interest in understanding, they only want to air their own opinions.  -  Proverbs 18:2 I’ve been reading through Proverbs again. And I’m telling you, Solomon really has nuggets of wisdom for all of us. I hardly start reading and I need to stop and write down some of those verses, so I do. Things I wasn’t aware of, things I need to work on. God said in  Philippians 1:6  that “he who has begun good work in us, will continue that work until the day of Christ Jesus.” The work started the moment we trusted in what Jesus did on the cross. We are works in progress. I’m glad God doesn’t show us all he’s going to do in us all at once. It would be overwhelming. Instead, he shows us a little at a time. Proverbs says fools have no interest in understanding, they only want to air their own opinions. That hurt. I considered myself an understanding person, but the second part of that verse rings so true with me. It’s important to me that others know wh

A HOUSE DIVIDED

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Ps. 147:3) Yes, we have all been wounded in this battle. And we will be wounded again. But something deeper has also happened to us than mere wounds. I expect that all of us at one time or another have said, "Well, part of me wants to, and another part of me doesn't." You know the feeling—part of you pulled one direction, part of you the other. Part of me loves writing and genuinely looks forward to a day at my desk. But not all of me. Sometimes I'm also afraid of it. Part of me fears that I will fail—that I am simply stating what is painfully obvious, or saying something vital but incoherent. I'm drawn to it, and I also feel ambivalent about it. Come to think of it, I feel that way about a lot of things. Part of me wants to go ahead and dive into friendship, take the risk. I'm tired of living alone. Another part says,  Stay away—you'll get hurt. Nobody really cares anyway.  Part of me says,  Wow! Mayb

Rest Well Mommy

So my mother in law passed away yesterday after a prolonged illness.  She was a hard-working woman and a dedicated mother.  I wish the good Lord would have let her stay a little bit longer with us but God has a purpose for everything. We don’t know why the Lord called her so early.  She has barely seen her grandchildren. She has been good to me. She advises me,  cooked for me, and welcomes me every time she sees me. I thank God for knowing her and birthing my wife and the mother of my children. I am much grateful for her and I wish her eternal rest and peaceful journey to our father God almighty. Rest well mommy and fare thee well Madam Elizabeth Acheampong Michael 

Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.

PSALMS 16 A psalm  of David. 1 Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. 2 I said to the  Lord , “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” 3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them! 4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods. 5 Lord , you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. 6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! 7 I will bless the  Lord  who guides me; even at night, my heart instructs me. 8 I know the  Lord  is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. 10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one  to rot in the grave. 11 You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with y
