Psalms for Today!

Psalm 1-2

King James Version

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Romans 8:31-39

King James Version

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

THE RANSOM

ONE DAY, A KIDNAPPER CAME,

HE TOOK OUR BEINGS,

AND I KNOW HIS NAME.

HIS NAME IS SATAN,

HE LOVES TO KIDNAP OUR SOULS,

HE SNEAKS IN WITHOUT OUR SEEING;

GOD LOVES THE SOULS OF HIS CHILDREN,

HE KNOWS US BY NAME,

HE SENT THE RANSOM BY JESUS,

JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD,

ON THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS,

WHERE HE PROCLAIMED “IT IS FINISHED”,

YOUR SOULS ARE SET FREE,

NOW YOU HAVE LIFE FOR ETERNITY,

BECAUSE YOU BELIEVED IN ME.

~WINSTON STAPLES

JUST THINKING!

A NEW DAY!

EACH MORNING AT DAWN,

I OPEN MY EYES, STRETCH MY ARMS,

OPEN MY MOUTH WITH A YAWN.

I GO TO MY STUDY,

I TAKE MY MEDS,

LISTEN TO MY BIBLE READING,

AND LET MY SOUL BE FED.

EACH MORNING WHEN I AWAKE,

IT TAKES HOURS TO CALM,

SLOWLY CALM MY PAIN FILLED  BONES,

AND SHAKE THIS PAIN FROM MY HEAD.

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO AWAKE,

THAN TO SPEAK TO GOD OUR FATHER,

THANKING HIM FOR HIS PROTECTION IN THE NIGHT,

AND ASK HIM TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THIS DAY.

THANK YOU FATHER FOR SENDING YOUR SON,

TO SAVE OUR WEARY SOULS, AND THANK YOU,

THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT FOR TEACHING THE WORD,

GOD’S HOLY WORD AS IT IS READ.

SOULS WILL BE REDEEMED AS WE OPEN THE PAGES,

AND PRAYERFULLY READ ABOUT YOUR AGAPE LOVE,

AND YOUR AMAZING GRACE THAT EVERYONE NEEDS!

THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR PROVIDING OUR NEEDS!

BIBLE VERSES!

Proverbs 3:3-10

King James Version

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

THANKSGIVING QUOTES!

O, men! grown sick with toil and care,
Leave for a while the crowded mart;
O, women! sinking with despair,
Weary of limb and faint of heart,
Forget your cares to-day, and come
As children back to childhood's house!...
When all you knew of life was good,
And all you dreamed of life was sweet;
And let fond memory lead you back,
O'er youthful love's enchanted track...
~Phoebe Cary, "Thanksgiving," 1881


My friends, — Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow, which may mean every day, or once in seven days, at least. ~Dr. Le Grand, A Thanksgiving Sermon, as quoted in Charles W. Sanders, Sanders' Union Speaker, 1864
