“I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh shall also rest in hope.”
We need to ask what it really is that makes our hearts glad? Are our hearts made glad because of what we have in the world, or are our hearts made glad because of the Lord and what He is doing in our lives? I am not saying that there is nothing in the world that should make our hearts glad. I am saying that those things in the world that make us glad would be better if the Lord was the basic cause for all of them. He wants to be a part of all of our lives, and wants to add to our joy. Let’s take a look at what David wrote in the two verses above that made his heart glad. He wrote that “I have set the Lord always before me.” This says to me that David wanted to be sure that He was being guided by right principles, so he always set the Lord before him instead of after him. God was not a last resort for David. Too many people put the Lord behind their backs and do what they want to do until they run into hard times, then they try to put the Lord before them and follow His leadership. It will be much better if we seek God before the bad things happen in our lives. He should be “before us” in the good times and bad times. I love the old gospel song, “The God on the Mountain Is Still God in the Valley.” The song reminds us that we always have God whether the times are good or bad. We just need to remember that it is as important to seek Him in the good times as it is to seek Him in the bad times. He wrote: “Because He is at my right hand…” I know that this does not complete the thought that David was making. We will deal with that next, but for now we need to see the importance of having God at our right hand. This means that David wanted to stay close to God. Along this same line, James wrote in James 4:7-8: “Submit yourselves therefore to God, Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you….” If God is not at your right hand, and you feel that He is not near you, let me remind you that God didn’t move – you did. In our own minds and hearts, we need to keep ourselves close to God. God does not move. He is always right where He has always been. After all, Jesus promised: “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the ages.” We need to remember that promise and know that God is at our right hand. He wrote: “Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” The NIV translates this as “I will not be shaken.” What David meant here was that because He realized that God was near Him all of the time, the things that happened in his life did not shake him and move him away from his commitment to God. Often, when we face hard times, we think that God has forsaken us and we are shaken, so we move farther away from Him. These are the times when we need to draw ever closer to our Lord. He is with us in the valley and on the mountain. Clasp this truth from the song “My God Is Near Me all the Time” close to your heart and you will not be shaken and will stay close to Him in your mind and heart. Is your heart glad because you have set the Lord before you? Is your heart glad because you realize that He is near you every minute of every day? Is your heart glad because you have not been shaken and have stayed close to Him no matter what has happened in your life? Good questions, what are the answers? Bro. Joe

“Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the voice of my supplications. 7. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him; and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.”
In Psalm 28, David was in distress because of His enemies, and he reached out to God. Verses 6-7 give a summary of what David concluded, and he told us some things that we need to know about God in the midst of our own struggles. In verse 6, he reminds us that God hears our prayers. Indeed, He hears the cries of our hearts as we cry out to Him each day. We can absolutely be assured that God will hear “the voice of (our) supplications.” What is your need right now? He will hear your prayer. I can’t imagine not reaching out to Jesus in prayer. In verse 7a, David reminds us that the Lord is our strength and shield. Sometimes we forget that the greatest strength that we can have is spiritual strength, which will come to our rescue much more effectively than physical strength. We need to practice leaning on God’s strength. The shield that we have from God is the shield of faith. In describing the armor of God in Ephesians 6, Paul wrote: “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Why would we not take our fears, needs and struggles to the Lord in prayer? Why would we not lean on His strength and take the shield of faith? All that the Lord has to offer is at our disposal. Why not take advantage of all that He offers for our lives? In the latter part of verse 7, David tells us what the result of God’s hearing our prayers and giving us His being our strength and shield should be. First, it should result in our hearts trusting in Him. We should trust Jesus from within the deepest part of ourselves. What strength this will bring into your life if you will just put your trust in Him. No one needs to teach you how to do this – just do it. Like David, you will find that you will be helped. Second, we will have cause to “greatly rejoice.” I do not know why we aren’t as joyful as we should be. I am amazed at myself sometimes, because I find not myself not rejoicing in all that the Lord has done, is doing and will do in my life. Let this be a reminder for both of us!!! Third, it should result in praise to His wonderful name. Because David was a musician, one of hiss greatest means of rejoicing was in song. The Lord should put a song in our hearts as well. Just cut loose today and praise Him in whatever way you can. Don’t you agree that these we are things that we need to know about God? Bro. Joe “Now if any of you lack wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.” CSB
I have a lot of “favorite” texts in the Bible, and this text from James is one of them – at the top of the list. Why? Because it tells us something about God that we need to know: He is interested in us and wants to give generously to us. Perhaps you are one of those people, of whom there are many, who have given up on the God of the Bible. You might be asking, without realizing it, “What has He done for me lately?” It could be that you have been convinced by the world that He does not exist, and if He does exist, He doesn’t matter. It could be that you are a believer who is just jaded by the trials of life and just feel that God is distant from you. You can’t read James 1:5 and believe that God is indifferent about your life. The text made me think about some things about God/Jesus that I treasure. I want to share these thoughts with you in hopes that it will make you think differently about God. First, there is the fact that God loves us. John 3:16 tells us this: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Look at the words that I underlined. “For God so loved the world means the people of the world. You probably remember the old chorus: “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.” (He loves the adults of the world too.lol) This simple little chorus reminds us that God’s love reaches out to every person in the world. If you have not discovered His love, it is time that you did. Someone wrote: “When we lift our hearts to God, we open ourselves to a never-ending source of divine wisdom and infinite love.” I cannot convince you that God loves you, only God can do that. If you want to realize God’s love for you, lift your heart to Him and you will know His love. Second, is the fact that God is available to us. One of the most important things about the Yahweh of the Bible is that He is not remote from His creation. Throughout the Bible we see Him reaching out to people, making His great love and power available to them. Also, throughout the Bible we see people running away from God, not really believing in His availability. It is difficult for us to understand a God Who is everywhere at all times. He can bless someone in Japan at the same time that He is blessing someone in the USA. The wonderful fact is that God is always only a prayer away. He is available to enter your life to save you for all eternity. He is available to help you through all of the trials of life. Third, He will be our ultimate judge. No matter what people think of us, it is more important for us to consider what God thinks of us. The Bible says that, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27) We are accountable to Him for how we live our lives. You can ignore God, but you cannot ignore the fact that He is interested in your life, and that He wants to be a part of your life. This is what Jesus is all about. Consider these things about God and give your life to the God who loves you, is available to you and to whom you are accountable. Bro. Joe “Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” 28:23: “He that rebukes a man afterward shall find more favor than he that flatters with his tongue.”
I had a good time “wrestling” with these two passages in Proverbs. Let me share with you what I concluded. I call it “real love.” Real love reveals itself. The gist of 27:5 is that love should not be hidden. Three of the sweetest words that we can share with friends is “I love you.” When those words are really meant, they are like a gift from God. Real love can also reveal itself through action. Acts of love and kindness are also like gifts from God. We should not hesitate to share the love that Jesus has put in our hearts with others. Real love is honest. This means that real love offers constructive criticism. (We just need to realize that constructive criticism is given to the person for whom it is meant, not to someone else. Otherwise it is gossip. Just Saying!) Criticism borne of the love of Jesus is also like a gift from God. It is also important for us to be able to accept constructive criticism. I know that I have grown in my walk with the Lord and in my ministry by friendly constructive criticism. I've had the unfriendly kind too, and was sometimes even helped by it. We just need be sure that our honest criticism is accompanied by love. According to 28:23, real love does not needlessly flatter. If we are going to flatter someone, let’s be sure that we really mean it. Jesus set the example for us in His conduct with people. When He called Simon Peter to follow him, He told Peter that he was a “rock.” (That is what Peter, or Petros in Greek, means.) That was not false flattery, because Peter was a born leader. But when the “Rock” bragged that he would protect Jesus at all costs, Jesus lovingly told Peter that he would not defend Him but would deny Him. Of course, you know Peter denied Jesus three times. Later, before He ascended, Jesus again flattered Peter by telling him to “Feed My sheep.” (John 21:16) This was, again, a reference to Peter’s leadership qualities. When we really love people, we love them openly and honestly. This is what real Christian fellowship is about. We need more of it!!!!! Bro. Joe “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
The Bible reveals a God who is not one-dimensional. Some see Him as only a God of love, who loves us so much that He approves of everything that we do. Some see Him as mainly a God of wrath, who can’t wait to “sock it to us.” According to what I read in the Bible, God is a God of love and a God of wrath. We can’t pick and choose what we want the nature of God to be. He is who He is – period! From my own perspective, I consider that the Bible never says that “God is wrath,” but it does say that “God is love.” 1 John 4:16 reveals to us: “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us, God is love; and He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.” The Bible tells me that God loves me, and that is enough for me, I don’t need anyone else’s reassurance. I love to read verses like Romans 5:8: “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” He loved us enough to send His Son to die on the cross in order for us to be forgiven for our sins. The New Testament makes it clear, as do Old Testament prophecies that Christ had to die as a sacrifice in order for us to be saved. What you need to know today is that GOD LOVES YOU. It is not enough for you to know in your mind that God is love; you must also know in your heart that He loves you. Christ died for you! The Bible reveals to us that God loves us so much that He will not let us get by with doing what we want to do. The Bible tells us that God will discipline us when we sin. Discipline is a result of love, not of hatred. The author of Hebrews wrote plainly and simply about this. Quoting from Proverbs 3:11-13, he wrote: “My son do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or faint when you are reproved by Him, for the Lord disciplines the one He loves.” Then he wrote: “Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons (His children, male and female). For what son is there that a father does not discipline?” (Hebrews 12:6-7 HCSB) I knew that my parents loved me, but that didn’t mean that they let me get by with what I wanted to do. I grew up in the days when it was open season on children. Parents would not get sent to jail for giving you a swat or two. I probably did not get swatted as often as I should have, but you couldn’t have told me that back then. Discipline is not pleasant, nor is it meant to be. God uses His discipline to remind us to obey Him. For an example of the greatness of God’s love for us, I want to draw four words out of John 3:16 and take a look at the dynamic meaning of them: “for God so loved the world.” Lift up “God” and “world” and see the contrast. God is all holy, while the world is the opposite. (Just read some world history and you will see what I mean.) But the words that come between these contrasting words are “so loved.” This holy God so loved this unholy world that He gave His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. I can’t explain to you why this had to be, but I can accept it as a token of God’s love for me. I pray that you will accept it as a token of God’s love for you. Don’t diminish God in your thinking by making a one-dimensional “teddy bear,” or a “cosmic meanie.”Accept Him as the Bible presents Him and see what He can do in your life. Jesus loves you – accept His love. Bro. Joe “The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.”
Psalm 121:5 was the scripture that I recently read in my devotional book. It was an article by David Jeremiah about loneliness. Which brought me to the question I posed for this article: “Have You Ever Been Lonely?” I think that I already know the answer to this question. I truly doubt that any human being has escaped the feeling of loneliness. It is in the DNA of human beings to want to be around other people. I think that even those people that we call “loners” experience loneliness at some time or other. I remember a very lonely time in my life. It was my first Christmas in the Navy in 1956. I was in Hospital Corps School at the Naval Hospital in San Diego, California. They gave us a choice of liberty on Christmas day or New Year’s Day. I chose Christmas. This was a bad choice. My first Christmas away from home was spent on the streets of San Diego, California, where I knew no one and no one knew me. Since that Christmas, I define loneliness based on what I felt that day. Feeling alone is one of the most desolate feelings that we can have. Did you know that God does not want us to feel alone? Look at the text for this article: “The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.” This means that God is ever near to us. In fact, Jesus promised to never leave or forsake us. But God also created us with a need for human companionship and fellowship. This is why Christian fellowship is so important. Christians, we need each other, and not a one of us should feel lonely as long as there is another Christian in this world. This leads me to the main thought that I want you to take from this article. If you are lonely, reach out to a fellow Christian. This is the essence of Christian fellowship. This is one of the reasons that we have church. It’s not the only reason, but it is one important reason. If we are afraid to reach out to each other in loneliness, we have somehow misinterpreted the meaning of Christian fellowship. Which leads me to remind you that if you are lonely, it might be because you have isolated yourself. In this case, get up off of it and call a Christian friend. I have an even better suggestion: Why don’t you find some lonely person in your community and visit them? Now there is a novel idea. It might be a fellow Christian, or it might be a non-Christian. In the first case, your fellow Christian will appreciate your concern. In the second case, you might be a witness to that person, and that person will be eternally grateful to you. You get the point don’t you? You don’t have to be lonely if you will just reach out for fellowship with and witness to other people. I want to make another suggestion: If you feel lonely today, before you reach out to other people, renew your fellowship with God. As the song tells us, “My Lord is near me all the time….” Spend some time alone with God; experience His reality and His love for awhile. Pray and seek a real, dynamic sense of His presence. The reality is that we are never really alone if we are trusting in Jesus. That’s why I feel sorry for atheists and all other unbelievers. When they are lonely, they are really lonely. But if you have a relationship with God, He is near you all of the time. An old hymn entitled “Never Alone” comes to my mind; “No, never alone, no, never alone, He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.” Pay attention to Jesus when He tells you, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” If we really believe this promise, when we feel lonely we will reach out for fellowship with Jesus, and He will lead us to fellowship with others. You will feel alone at times, but you do not have to live in loneliness. Believe it! Bro. Joe "Another parable spake unto them, The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole we leavened."
You and I might disagree about this text, which declares: “The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole be leavened.” Why disagreement? Because there are those who say that because leaven is usually used in a negative light in much of the Bible, it should be viewed negatively here too. I just can’t read the text and come to that conclusion. The point is that a smidgen of leaven, or yeast, is put into the bread and begins to spread through the bread until the loaf rises. (Keep in mind that all bread in the Bible is not unleavened bread.) The application seems to me to be that the kingdom of heaven, the people of God, might seem insignificant, but, like leaven, we are permeating the loaf. What kind of beginning did the early church experience? There were very few Christians. If you see the same statistics that I see, there are still very few Christians. Does this mean that because we are outnumbered, we don’t have a chance to reach the world? What this parable says to me is that the people of God are like leaven and are actually influencing and permeating the world. Why? Because the people of God are working on God’s timetable. The course of the world is not up to kings, shieks, presidents, or parliaments. The course of the world is in God’s hands. That is why we continue our missionary work under seemingly overwhelming odds. We know that as citizens of the kingdom of God, we are like leaven in this world. Our ultimate influence is not political. Our influence and our victory are wrapped up in God. Like leaven, the battle is being won because we represent a power higher than humankind. The world is headed for a rendezvous with Jesus Christ; therefore, like leaven, we need to continue to work away and to serve Him until He comes. Bro. Joe “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
This will not be the first article on this subject that you have gotten from me, and it will not be the last. It is of utmost importance that we let our lights shine, because the world needs to see us shining for Jesus. Actually, they need to see Jesus’ light shining from us. Just like the moon, we have no luminary qualities. Moon light is actually reflected sunlight. Just so, the light that we show to the world is “Son light.” If we want to be the witnesses that Jesus wants us to be, we will let the light that He has given us shine before the world. Notice that Jesus said “let your light so shine…” While the light is not ours, we have some control over letting it shine. How can we stifle the light of Jesus Christ that we have simply because He is our Savior. I think that we can stifle that light by having sour attitudes. Bad attitudes are like soot on a kerosene lamp, they hold the light in. People are aware of us, for example, by the way we treat cashiers or waiters and waitresses. People are aware when we claim to be Christians, when we are unfriendly towards people we do not know. They even watch us at sporting events to see how we are going to behave. That’s why we need to pray that even when a referee’s call does not go our way, we should take it and move on. Having been the chaplain of a high school football team, I know how difficult this often is. Sometimes the “old Joe” wanted to come out. But I tried to be ever aware that I have to let my light shine. I can’t say that I always succeed in this area, at least in my heart, but it is something that I am always aware of. There are many ways that we can keep our lights from shining. We just need to consciously think of the fact that Jesus expects us to let our lights shine. Jesus said “Let your light so shine before men/women.” We always live our lives before people. The last command that Jesus gave to His disciples, and to us through the New Testament, is to go into the world with His message of salvation. We do not like to think that other people can control how we act, and they can’t control our actions. But we can! It should matter to us what other people think of our faith in Christ. We should not spend all of our time worrying about what people think about us, but when it comes to our positive witness for Jesus Christ, it should matter what they think about Jesus in us. In other words, we should live a positive Christian life before other people. They should not see us betraying our faith in Jesus. In other words, we know right from wrong, and we should choose the right because it is, well…… right. We can’t always do what we want to do. In Romans, Paul dealt with the issue of being a “stumbling block.” Meaning that we should let what we do cause others to stumble. Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they might see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” We should not be like the Pharisees in the New Testament and do good works “to be seen of men.” Our motivation for doing good works should be to bring glory to God and not to ourselves. I will admit that this is not always easy. Being human, we would like to take credit for the good things that we do. But we must remember that the good work that we do is under the leadership of the Holy Spirit in order to bring glory to God and not to ourselves. This does not mean that we should not feel good about the good things that we do. I know that It is a great feeling to preach a sermon, or share an article that touches other people’s lives. The good feeling comes from knowing that God used me for His purposes. Jesus wants your ,light to shine, and He wants to use you for His purposes. iTherefore, “let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Bro. Joe “For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot stumbles they magnify themselves against me.”
“Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.” We do not normally think of David as having relationship problems, but some of his psalms prove otherwise. The two selections from Psalms gives us two examples of relationship problems. In these two examples David was beset by people who wanted to humble, or shame, him and by a friend who betrayed him in some way. Just read on in the psalms and you will find many passages similar to these. David knew what we should know, i.e., one of our biggest problems in this world is with people. Think about it, how many of your heartbreaking, or heartrending moments have been because of what other people said about you or did to you? If this has never happened to you consider yourself fortunate. (We might also consider the times that we mistreated someone else. Just Saying!) Jesus spent a lot of time trying to help us love and relate to people, because He knew that they would not always be easy to love and would not always be our friends. Paul wrote about relationships with other people, because he knew that they would be the cause of a lot of our problems. This is why it is so important to practice loving people on a daily basis. If we are to ever "love the unlovable" we will have to be filled with God's Spirit of love and really apply it. I'm afraid that in our churches we too often fail the "other people" test. The New Testament tells us only to love them. Let’s take David’s example from Psalm 41:9. There was someone he had trusted who betrayed him in some way. I don’t think that there is anything more disappointing than to be betrayed by someone with whom we have been close. Proverbs 17:17a says that “A friend loveth at all times…” This means that a true friend will not betray that friendship. We can’t do anything about others who are not true friends, but we can be careful ourselves to always be true friends and “love at all times.” What should we do in adverse circumstances like these? First, I would think that the first thing we should do is to pray for the person. Ask God to help your friend, and ask Him to help you continue to love your errant brother or sister. When I have prayed for people with whom I have had personal problems, I have found that I can’t dislike them. God knows what the situation is and He will answer our prayers. The second thing that we should do is to fight against the temptation for pay the person back. The Bible always tells us that vengeance belongs to God. It is difficult for us to not want to avenge ourselves when we feel that we have been offended in some way. But if we will look at Jesus, and how He reacted to such situations, we will see that we cannot really avenge ourselves. All that happens is that the strife continues on and on. Romans 12:17 tells us: “Recompense to no man evil for evil.” Evil can never stamp out evil; therefore, we do not return the evil done to us. The third thing that we should do is to seek to reconcile with the person. I know that this is difficult, and it should not be done until we have prayed about the situation and have forgiven the person in our hearts. We want reconciliation to be sincere. In order for this to be the reality, we will have to forgive. You might be thinking: “Bro. Joe, you have lost your mind. I want to insist that they apologize." That would be good, but I don’t remember that anyone who crucified Jesus apologized to Him before He forgave them. If the other person will not reconcile with us, we should simply wish them well and move on with our lives. Life is too short to hold grudges against people. We will always have to deal with people in one way or the other. Let’s just make sure that we deal with them in a Christlike manner. . Bro. Joe “Sing to the Lord, you saints of His, praise His holy name. 5. For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
These verses remind us of what our response should be to God no matter how trying life has become. When things are not going well for us, we have a tendency to blame God. We might not consciously admit this, but in the back of our minds we think that God owes us more than we are getting. Blaming God for hardships will get us nowhere. We live in a fallen world and that is the way life is in a fallen world. Trials and tribulations are part of living, and they can be tests of our faith. The question is what is our response to God when things are tough? These two verses from Psalm 30 will tell us what our response should be – regardless. “Sing to the Lord, you saints of His, praise His holy name.” What God wants from us at all times is to praise Him. Praise was not always easy for David and other psalmists. The psalms are full of complaints to the Lord because of what life was handing them at the time. Yet the psalmists also remind us time after time that we are to praise God. In psalm 35:28 David wrote: “And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.”If we praise God “all the daylong” we will surely, at some point, praise Him in the midst of trouble. Asaph wrote in psalm 50:15: “And call upon me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify (praise) me.” I looked up “praise” in my Strong’s exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, and I found passage after passage about praising God. The Bible is full of the praises of God. I know that life can be hard, and that some things that happen to us are awfully hard to overcome, but it does us no good to give in to self-pity or grumbling and complaining. What we need to do during these times is to “sing to the Lord…praise His holy name.” You will be a better person for it, and you will feel better about yourself. “His anger lasts only for a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime.” This is a good reminder for us that God is not against us. He might be against the way we are living at a given time, as we are told: “His anger lasts only a moment,” which does mean that He gets angry with us. That anger comes because He knows that we can do better. When you feel God-forsaken, and think that God is not doing anything in your life, remember that you have His favor. We need to be careful with this word “favor.” We can get the idea that when things are not going our way, we have lost God’s favor. Read it again: “But His favor lasts a lifetime…” There are times when we feel God’s favor more than at other times, but God always wants the best for us, and when we forget that fact we stray from what the Lord Jesus wants of us. We do well to remember His favor, especially when we are going through difficult times. “Weeping may endure for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” There are four words that have come to mean a lot to me over the years, and they are: “this, too, shall pass.” That is what David meant when he wrote: “Weeping may endure for a night…” We need to remember that nothing lasts forever. Whatever you are going through right now will come to an end, and at the end of it there will be joy and rejoicing. Sometimes it seems that woes will never end, but they do. What we need to focus on is not the weeping but the joy and rejoicing. The choice as to how we will respond to the “weeping” is really up to us. We can pout and simmer, but that will only prolong the weeping. We just need to remember that when “morning” comes there will be joy and rejoicing. Grab a hold of this truth, and make it a way of life. The right response to the Lord is to praise Him, remember His favor and accept the joy that He sends “in the morning." Bro. Joe |
