Psalm 69 The Goodness of His Love

Psalm 69:18

Answer me, O’ Lord

Out of the Goodness of Your Love.

So we call out to God and …………..

He answers.

Sometimes Yes

Sometimes No

Sometimes……………

Later,

But Always………..

“Out of the Goodness of His Love”

Lord Jesus-

I give You praise-

We glorify You with thanksgiving-

Because of the Goodness of Your Love.

Amen

Psalm 49 But God.......

Psalm 49:13-15

This is the fate of those

Who trust in themselves……………..

They are destined for the grave

Death will feed on them……

But God

Will redeem my life from the grave

He will surely take me to Himself.

Where do you put your trust?

In your abilities or…………

In the One who gave them to you?

Certainly we are called to act intentionally-

To “work out” what Father has put in us…………

But God-

He is the One who takes all of my effort-

All of my abilities-

All of my cleverness………..

And works in these for His own purposes-

Good Purposes-

From a Good Father-

Who Loves me-

Who has redeemed me and………..

Who will take me to Himself!

Thank You Jesus

Amen

Lost Opportunities

"I sold it last week".....

"I'm sorry, but we have offered the job to another candidate".....
"Its over, I want out of here".......

Regrets, Disappointments and Lost opportunities......

Sure there will be other opportunities in the future-
But this one is gone- Never to return.
If only I had.........
Said such and such-
Not said such and such-
Done this-
Not done that.

It's Okay

Our God is the Great Redeemer

of

All That was Lost.

Think of a boy who bragged to his brothers-

Was thrown into a pit-

Sold into slavery-

Was imprisoned falsely-

But in the end...............

Was redeemed by God to preserve a Nation.

Think of the Pharisee of Pharisees-

Holding the coats of men who stoned a martyr-

Struck blind on the road to persecute the Saints-

But in the end..............

Was redeemed by our Lord to spread a Great Gospel.

Think of the one who three times said-

I don't know the man-

I was not with Him-

I don't know Him-

But in the end..............

Was redeemed by Jesus to feed His Sheep.

It's Okay

Our God is the Great Redeemer

of

All That is Lost!

So as this year comes to an end-

With all it's Triumphs-

And all it's Lost Opportunities.......

Look evermore to the Great Redeemer....

And Know that He is always with you-

Even in all these wondrous things.
 

Philippians 1:6

Being confident of this-

That He Who began a good work in you-

He will carry it on to Completion

Until the Day of Christ Jesus.

Father,

Give us rest and strength in the promise

of Your Great Love for us.

Hold us, Carry us and use all these things to

Unite our hearts to Your Great Heart of Love.

Amen
