Facing Giants With Prayer

I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord. The humble shall hear thereof and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord and He heard me and He delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:1-4

When anybody mentions King David, probably the first story that comes to their mind is when he fought and beat Goliath with a only sling. But the main reason behind David’s victory was not just his courage. There were many courageous soldiers in the army of Israel but they lacked something one thing that David had. What was his secret? David’s victory in battle was because, long before he knew how to fight, he had learned how to pray. He had the confidence to face Goliath, and later rule a kingdom and maybe most important of all; find forgiveness when he had sinned, because he had cried out to God in prayer God all his heart! Here are just a few of the treasured truths we have today, because David sought the Lord:

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts Psalm 28:1

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Psalm 51:1

Today’s video leads us through that attitude of surrender and praise that will help us face whatever giants that we are facing in our own lives. This session includes I Surrender All and My Jesus I Love Thee

Oceans on a Frozen Lake

Hey normally I am rather loathe to spend time posting on the Lords day but I was pointed to this wonderful version of Oceans performed by Youngin Yo and wanted to share it with you. I pray that as you set aside some special time for Jesus today in prayer and worship that you quietly listen to this astonishing presentation that gives him glory on a grand piano in this frozen and beautiful setting.

Consider the Sparrows

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31

Anxious for nothing

Be anxious for nothing

Remember to pray

Your Father is watching by night and all day

He gave every sparrow

Two wings so he’ll fly

With no worry of falling from up in the sky

And the lily’s white bloom

In the deep valley dark

Reflects in the night the pure light from God’s star
