Beggin’

Blessings Folk!!

Today’s reading from the “So That’s Why” Bible consists of pp. 351-356.

Well, we made it back...a day delayed...but back home.

Our local Precept Bible classes will resume next week...regular schedule...Lesson 13!!

Let me take us to a passage that we have looked at several times through the years… one of my favorites...Psalm 37. Read the entire Psalm today. It is a blessing.

It is very easy to take our eyes off the Lord and give undue heed to the situations that are in the world.

Many of us are unemployed or underemployed.
Many have lost much “value” related to house, investments and the like.
Many are fret-filled, worried, anxious.

Believers are not to fear.

Hear the Word of the Lord…


Ps 37:25-28
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
KJV

David was reflecting upon what he has seen in his life...young, now old.
He had seen evil-doers prosper.
He had wondered if God would avenge.

David knew this truth - the righteous of the Lord will never be forsaken.
Their children will not lack for food.

Keep this in mind.

Walk in the righteousness of the Lord.
Walk in obedience.
The Lord will provide.

Remember...always...the Lord is good!
The Lord always lends.
We are blessed in the Lord.

So, here is what we are to do…

  • Turn away from evil.
  • Do what is good.
  • Dwell/abide forever in the mercy of the Lord.

Fear not!
The Lord thy God is with you...if you are one of the righteous...if not, today is the day of salvation...confess, repent, call upon the name of the Lord and He will save!!

Blessings!!
