Be On the Side of God

Psalms 18:1-3
"1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies."

Jesus has ascended to Heaven! His incarnation and ministry here on earth was incredible!!! It changed our lives forever and for better!! While here Jesus fulfilled many of God's promises and He made a few more. We studied those over the last week or so.

Our glorious GOD not only atoned for our sins He also gives us the choice to choose His salvation or choose otherwise. The choice is yours! And! He returns to His heavenly throne leaving us to be His hands and feet in this world! We are the members of His church body left behind to do His works in this world! God let's us help with His mission and plan! It's really incredible!!

Once we understand this reality there really is only one choice to make; following Jesus. To recognize and celebrate this truth we turn to Psalms chapter eighteen, verses one through three; "I will LOVE thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my ROCK, and my FORTRESS, and my DELIVERER; my GOD, my STRENGTH, in whom I will TRUST; my BUCKLER, and the HORN of my SALVATION, and my high TOWER."
This is a bold declaration from the Psalmist, saying GOD is my everything! Saying; "The LORD is my ROCK..." or God is my firm foundation. If we have anything at all it is built upon what God has already established. We are just the latest parts to God's plan. We are blessed to be a part of it.

"I will call upon the LORD, who is WORTHY to be PRAISED: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." We need to strive to be on the side of God. Make God's enemies our enemies. Work to be sure we are friends of God, praising and glorifying His name. For all of our days.
Amen.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
