Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”


Praise the Lord!

Worship with Believers

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

It is never too late to make a decision to start going to church. Start this weekend and make plans to attend regularly. I have come to realize that staying in touch with other Christians take my focus off of my challenges. What is a good church? It isn’t the church your entire family goes to for years or the church where you are well known. It is the church that stands on the word of God, where sound doctrines is taught. It takes courage to part ways with something you are accustomed to but when it comes to the walk with God, no sacrifice can ever be too great. God LOVES you and created you to know Him personally. He sacrificed His son for your salvation. Giving up the wrong church for the pursuit of spiritual growth and to develop a serious relationship with God should be a choice that you are willing to make.

Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ. "The righteous man shall live by faith" (Galatians 3:11). A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life. You can join me in continuing 2011 right by adding the following to your New Year Resolution:
Allow the Holy Spirit to control and empower your daily life and witness (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8)
Trust God for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7).
Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19; John 15:8).
Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21) Read God's Word daily (Acts 17:11)
Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7).

Friend, Jesus Christ is declared to be Lord by God in the Scriptures. He is worthy to be Lord because of who He is, not because of what He has done. The believer’s life should be under the control of Christ. The Christian should recognize that Christ’s control of his life is for his own welfare and fulfillment. Make an effort to attend church regularly and worship with other believers. Submit every area of your life to the Lordship of Christ and be blessed.

Praise the Lord!
