Riding On The SON

“The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!” Psalm 21:1

How sweet the feel of victory that can only come through GOD.  Nothing is compared to it, its joy is overwhelming.  

When things come our way that we know are out of our control there is truly only one place to go and that is to the LORD!  But don't forget the little things.  It is important to take them to the LORD also. If we don't chances are they will turn to the ones that are out of control!

When the battles over

And labors they are done.

We’ll have jubilation 

In the Fathers Son!

Joy encapsulated 

In God’s power and His might.

Winning this hard battle 

That brought us so much fright!

I knew I couldn’t do it 

No matter how hard I tried.

The enemy was much stronger. 

So on the Son I will ride!  

Riding in His glory! 

Riding by my faith!

Trusting in my Savior!

Knowing I’ll be safe!

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”  Hebrews 12:2

In The Kings Care

“Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.” Psalm 20:9

Better it is when crying for help that someone hears you then a plea that goes unanswered.  A voice that returns only by your echo is emptiness and hope is unfulfilled.

There has never been a call to JESUS that has gone unanswered!  Neither the reason or the time of day will hinder the the prayer of the one that calls on Him!  

The first and only prayer of an unbeliever that is heard is when they realize they are in need of CHRIST for their salvation.  When that prayer is answered then and only then they will have free access to the throne of GOD!

There is no greater hope

Then the hope I have in GOD!

I have never been forsaken!

While on His path I have trod! 

Never mind all the distractions,

And all the worry that came my way.

In the end He always answers.

In His bosom my soul will stay!  

I will forever trust my JESUS,

I rest myself in His care.

Now, always and forever, 

Toward Glory I prepare!

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” James 5:16

Dumber than Dumb

“They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.” Psalm 20:8

Only a fool would think he can battle GOD and win!  Fools deny GOD and they are brought down, their end is Hell! The wise fall at the feet of JESUS and He causes them to stand tall, He raises them to Glory!

They have come!

With their vehicles of war.

They have come!

With armor and more.

They have come! 

With powerful speech.

They have come! 

With us in their reach.

But they did fall! 

To the ground they go!

They thought they could win

With GOD as their foe!

GOD’s Righteous have won! 

The victory is theirs!

To GOD’s power and strength!

No one compares!   

So if you think 

You can battle GOD and win.

You’re dumber than dumb,

And the devil’s your twin!

Many have tried 

with no avail.

Their winnings are poison,

Their abode is in Hell!

The Righteous have won!

They stand on their feet,

When the trumpet sounds,

Their resurrection is complete! 

     

“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.” Revelation 1:13-19

I Remember When

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7

I have been blessed with a good memory.  My wife is always amazed by the things I recall  from the past.  I can remember way back in the early days of my childhood.  Some were beautiful and others were very sad.

As a believer I also have a good memory and like my childhood there have been good and wonderful times and some that have brought great sorrow.  Looking back there is one constant fact that determines the outcome of victory or defeat.  Depending on myself always brought defeat, but when I depended on the LORD there was always victory!

When I look back

On battles won,

I’m for ever thankful 

for GOD’s pure SON!  

When I remember

The ones I’ve lost.

Tried to do myself

They had great cost!

Not by the chariot 

fixed for war,

Or the mighty horse,

At the battles door!

Every battle 

that has been won,

Came not from self,

But through GOD’s Son!

“To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” Jude 1:25

Glad I Know

“Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.” Psalm 20:6

There is a big difference between wishing and knowing.  I’m glad I know!  Not because of my intellect but because I can stand on the Word of GOD!  I’m most likely not as smart as most but I’m smart enough to trust the LORD!  He reached down from Glory through JESUS and I hold tightly to His right hand!

Out of Heaven GOD hears His anointed.

The arms of The Almighty surrounds His own.

Never to worry for help or assurance. 

Held by His right hand down from His throne!

“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11

I Rejoice

“We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.” Psalm 20:5

One day the LORD is either coming back or I will go to Him.  No matter what way I go, I will rejoice because His salvation is real!  While I wait for that great day I will continue to lift up my hands toward Glory and praise Him with all I have.

I will sing the song of salvation, of all His wondrous ways!  He took me from the mired mud where I was buried in the depths of my sin.  He led my way to salvation and raised me to the higher ground of His love.  How can I help but rejoice?

I have no worry 

Concerning what I face.

The LORD is with me 

No matter what takes place!

I’m filled with His assurance, 

my hearts all a glow.

Where ever He leads me, 

I’m ready to go!

I lift high this banner 

that represents my King.

I raise my arms toward Heaven, 

With my mouth I sing!

Joy overwhelming 

resides in my soul!

My GOD hears my prayers,

And onward I go!

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1Timothy 6:12

GOD’s Heart

“Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.” Psalm 20:4

Can you imagine what it would be like if GOD didn’t have the heart He has?  All of mankind would be in a most miserable state.  It is GOD’s immense love that not only gives us life but gives us the opportunity to be made righteous through JESUS his Son!  Only a fool would not see this!

All of GOD’s heart is superior and holy!

All of the thoughts of GOD are pure!

All the provision of GOD perfect! 

GOD is there to take your fear!

So take your doubt and your frustration.

Lean on GOD and trust not on your own!

All you do aggravates your situation.

Give it to GOD who sits on the throne!

What GOD starts He will also finish!

GOD’s thoughts are instantly done!

GOD takes your trials and gives the victory!

With the help of GOD you’ve already won!

"Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:" Isaiah 24:8
