Declaration of the Day

I think there is a battle going on in the universe.  A battle for our very lives.  Our soul.  Satan is the ruler of this age.  Ultimately , God is in control. However, he has given me free will.  Well, today I choose LIFE.  I feel a battle raging...  I have to declare to the principalities and powers of this age that; according to Isaiah 12:2-6

  God is now my salvation; I will truat and not dread; For Jah Jehovah is my strength and song.  And He has become my salvation. Therefore, I will draw water with rejoicing from the springs of salvation. And I will say in that day, give thanks to Jehovah; call upon His name! Make His deeds known among the peoples; Remind them that His name is exalted.  Sing psalms to Jehovah, for He has done something majestic! Let it be made known in all the earth! Cry out and give a ringing shout, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. 

Amen

Not Stealing My Joy

ok,  so now is the time I get to put into action my faith.  Slow computers, broken dishwasher, phones batteries (notice the plural) dying, no cell phone service at the house, printer died 2 weeks ago, garage refrigerator took up the ghost last night: taking along with it --5 lbs of ground beef, 4 steaks, one pot roast, and numerous ice pops.  The lawn needs mowing, the fence needs fixing, the new kitty is creating havic wherever he can. I can say more, but I fear I would be too exposed.

 These are the "cares of this world"....  praise the Lord, all these things are temporary.  I declare that my hope, my future, my goals are not of this world.  My view is for eternity.
             And I can go to the altar of God. To God, my exceeding joy; And I will praise You with the             harp, O God, my God (Psm 43:4). 
      As a result of these concerns I choose to go to the altar and identify with Him.  I consent to Him directing my ways. He knows my needs.  His need, however is to work Himself into me as my life and my everything so that I can take Him as my person, live Him and express Him.  That is the desire of God's heart and the focal point of the bible.  I chose to keep my Joy inspite of all these worldly worries.  Amen
