Blessed is the man!

I was amazed when I found all this scriptures today while thinking of what I wanted to put on my status on Facebook... I found all of these scriptures while searching on blueletterbible.com for Psalms 65:4 which is a scripture Bro. Galen DeCosta used while teaching @ church on a Sunday morning last year...


Psa 1:1Blessed [isthe man that walketh not in the counsel of theungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in theseat of the scornful.
Psa 32:2Blessed [isthe man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
Psa 34:8O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [isthe man[that] trusteth in him.
Psa 65:4Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.
Psa 84:5Blessed [isthe man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them].
Psa 84:12O LORD of hosts, blessed [isthe man that trusteth in thee.
Psa 94:12Blessed [isthe man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
Psa 112:1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [isthe man [that] feareth theLORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
Pro 8:34Blessed [isthe man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Isa 56:2Blessed [isthe man [that] doeth this, and the son of man[that] layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Jer 17:7Blessed [isthe man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hopethe LORD is.
Rom 4:8Blessed [isthe man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Jam 1:12Blessed [isthe man that endureth temptation: for when he istried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.


So in short (sort of) lol... If you want to be bless in your life this is what you need to do...

  • Don't mix with sinners! 
  • Don't be impure!
  • Trust and hope in Him!
  • Seek Him when He calls you! 
  • Let Him be your strength and be a man after God's own heart! (Like David) 8^)
  • Take His correction!
  • Fear Him, but also rejoice in Him!
  • Listen and wait on Him!
  • Every time the doors are open, Go to church!!!!
  • Let Him be your hope!
  • With His help, resist temptations! (YES it can be done!)
  • and last but NOT least.... Fall in LOVE with Jesus, His word & His ways!
Be bless! Love you all very much! 8^)

The Old Account Settled

There was a time on earth, when in the book of heav'n 
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiv'n;
My name was at the top, and many things below,
I went unto the keeper, and settled long ago.


The old account was large, and growing ev-'ry day,
For I was always sinning, and never tried to pay;
But when I looked ahead, and saw such pain and woe,
I said that I would settle, I settled long ago.


When at the judgement bar, I stand before my King,
And He the book will open, He can-not find a thing;
Then will my heart be glad, while tears of joy will flow 
Because I had it settled, and settled long ago.


When in that happy home, My Savior's home above,
I'll sing redemption's story, and praise Him for His love;
I'll not forget that book, with pages white as snow,
Because I came and settled, and settled long ago.


O sinner, seek the Lord, Repent of all your sin, 
For thus He hath commanded, if you would enter in;
And then if you should live a hundred years below, 
Up there you'll not regret it, you settled long ago.


Long ago, long ago, yes the old account was settled long ago;
And the record's clear today, for He washed my sins away, 
When the old account was settled long ago

2011 here we come!!!

The year 2010 is coming to and end in a few days... WOW! another year gone! This year was a difficult one for me, in so many ways! I have fought many battles, I lost some but won many more... and the most important thing here is: I'm still standing and that only by the grace of God!
One thing I learn this year is that God will always be there for me! No matter what He will always love me... I don't understand Him, but I am only human and how can I a mere human understand a God that would lay down His life for me over 2000 years ago... 
There is this song that says "when He was on the cross I was on His mind" Can you comprehend this? How He knew you and me such a long time ago? This ever loving, ever patient, ever present God??? I can not!!! But I am grateful that He thought of me! He called me to live! When I had no more life in me... He said "LIVE", when I said God I can't, He said "I am here and with MY help you will!" My God, how can you love a wretched woman like me???? Tonight as I write this down I am so full of love for The One who died for me, The One who loved me before I loved Him, The One who knows how many hairs are on my head, the one who KNOWS my name! I will be forever grateful for His wonderful sacrifice and His AMAZING love! 
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord Jesus, 
I love you so much, and I know that in my limited vocabulary I could never express the love I have for You, but never the less it's there! My desire for this coming year is that You will help me to do what you have call me to do! No more games and no more distractions, help me Lord to keep my eyes on you! And Lord if my life will end in this coming year, I pray that you will allow me to be a blessing to my church and do your will till no more time is left!
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Senor Jesus, 
Te amo, con todo mi corazon yo quiero servirte.... no hay nada en este mundo que yo deceo mas que hacer Tu voluntad! Yo se que con Tu ayuda yo sere vencedora en Cristo... Tu palabra nos dice que "Todo lo puedo en Cristo, que nos fortaleze" dame fortaleza Senor para hacer Tu voluntad y no caer! En el nombre maravilloso de JESUS!


To all my friends... I love you very much and I can't wait to see what God will do through us in this coming year! Lets be ready for the work that the Lord has for us in 2011...

Rolliepolllies & being in the hands of God

So the other nite I found a rolliepollie in my bathroom, and me being me,I picked it up.... Well if you know anything about rolliepollies they curl into a little ball when you pick them up... It is a way to protect themselves!
after about 30 seconds of being in the palm of my hand it started walking and I guess checking out my hand! lol it walked for a while on my palm and then it walked to the back of my hand I tried to turn my hand so it wouldn't fall but I wasn't able to do it in time.... so it fell of my hand... when it landed it automatically curled itself again and it layed like that for about a minute and then little by little it started to uncurled. but then because it was on its back it couldn't really go anywhere... I let it struggle for a little bit and then I took it and put it on the right side even though it tried to curl itself up AGAIN... lol
It stayed there for a little while until it felt confident and then little by little it started to move away...
and then it was gone...
 You might be thinking, "why is she writing all this about a rolliepollie?" well let me tell you why...
After all this happen it got me to thinking about our walk with God! When we first meat God we are shy and try to curl into a ball of protection cause we don't really know Him and we are afraid... but when we finally trust Him we are able to move within His hand and under His protection! but then sometimes we decide than we want to walk where we shouldn't and God try to keep us safe but we don't want to stay there and we fall away from Him.... and when we are on the ground God goes in and tries to pick us up and again we are afraid to go back to Him because of our failures and we try to go back to our little hiding ball of protection... But God is so good and He is patient with us, He gives us time to get up again and to get comfortable with His presence...  Isn't God AWESOME! I love Him soooo much and I thank Him everyday for being so good with this rolliepollie ( me )
When I fall He helps me get up and He waits and helps me feel comfortable and loved in His presence! Thank you Jesus!

DISTRACTIONS!

Distraction: 1) The state of being distracted.
                  2) Mental distress or derangement.
                  3) That which distracts, divides the attention, or prevents concentration.
                  4) That which amuses, entertains or diverts.
                  5) Division or disorder cause by dissension, tumult.
Synonyms of Distraction: madness, lunacy, insanity, craziness.
-Also a condition or state of mind in which the attention is diverted from an original focus or interest.
Dissension: 1) Strong disagrement; a contention or quarrel; discord.
Synonyms of Dissension: Strife or quarrel.
Tumult: Highly distressing agitation of mind or feelings; turbulent mental or emotional disturbance.
Synonyms of tumult: disorder, turbulance.
-Also agitation of the mind or emotions. 

When you become distracted with life and from the things that God wants you to do, basically what follows is CHAOS... Your mind becomes disturbed, there is disorder, division, tumult, madness, craziness, divertion, dissension, disagrement, really a total chaos of your mind and life...
In this CHAOS and confusion you can easily loose your way and it becomes very hard to make the right decisions for your life spiritual or other wise, and little by little and before you know whats happening you have gone from distraction to confusion to a HORRIBLE chaos that can easily keep your eyes AND ears close to the voice of God!
So in all the craziness that is going on in your mind you have a hard time hearing the voice of God, His voice becomes clouded and eventually unheard in all your confusions and all the "noise" in your life...
This is the life of a DISTRACTED person... With this you are confused, upset, LOST!!!
BUT even here in this place of confusion, distraction and craziness; what is really AMAZING is that throughout all this ever present even if just in the background of your crazy life... JESUS is still there!!!!
His everlasting MERCY is still there.... calling, calling, calling your name! HE DOES NOT GIVE UP! (for the calling of God is without repentance) even throughout all the chaos God will make a way! In all your confusion, God WILL come and help you out of that place of distraction!!!
CHAOS: A state of utter confusion and disorder...
-God is NOT a god of confusion and disorder, He has a plan for everything, there is no confusion in Him, there is no disorder in Him, There is NO chaos in Him!!!
BUT there is LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HAPPINESS, ETERNAL LIFE.... And it's ALL in Him...
Thank you JESUS... I love Him soooo much & I thank Him for this revelation!
