Psalm 136, 2013

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.

                                                                                                               His love endures forever.

He alone deserves our worship and our praise.

                                                                                                               His love endures forever.

Because of his will, the sun rises every morning.

Because of his will, I will take my next breathe.

                                                                                                               His love endures forever.

He planned a life of faithfulness for me when he gifted me with a family rich with generations of believers.

                                                                                                                 His love endures forever.

He formed a long-lasting union when he blessed me with my husband

He created my son’s tall, strong body and my daughter’s beautiful smile.

                                                                                                                 His love endures forever.

I continue to be showered with his blessings as I look into the big blue eyes of my grandson who loves to dance for God.

                                                                                                                 His love endures forever.

He has been my rock and my salvation for all of my life.

                                                                                                                  He love endures forever.

I give thanks to the God of Heaven.

                                                                                                                  His love endures forever.

The Good Stuff

We want all of the good stuff, right?  We call them blessings.

Prosperity, purpose, good health, joy, love………we want it all.

And God tells us in Leviticus 26:3 – 13 that we can have it all……….we get it from him through obeying him.

That’s how he showers his blessings over our lives – through our obedience.March 6 - blesssings

As I read his promises in this passage of Leviticus, this is what I hear:

When you are careful to obey me, Judy, I can make you productive and effective in your career.  You will work hard and I will make all of your efforts successful and valuable. 

Through your obedience, I will be able to heap blessing upon blessing into your life.  You will have peace and not be afraid.  You will have enemies, Judy, but they are no match for my strength so they will fail every time you trust in me.

Your family will be blessed over and over and over.  You will so be overwhelmed by all of my blessings that you’ll have to work hard to pass the blessings on so that there is room for more in your life.

I will walk with you every day, Judy.  I have broken the bonds of sin in your life so that you can choose to trust in me – every hour of every day.  Then you will experience all of the blessings I have for you.

Thank you, dear Father.
