faith, hope, love, . . . but the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:13

As I wonder exactly why Paul chose “love,” I think it becomes clear…

When you love someone what do you do?

Talk to them, tell them “I love you”
Spend time with them
Get to know them
Do things THEY want to do
Include THEM in things you like to do

1 John 4:7-8 states: God is Love
 “Love” originates in God 
Love can never fail (see 1 Corinthians 13:8)
However…non-Christians are separated from this love, so [...]

“Abiding love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.” – Psalm 32:10

Recently, I found a song titled “What do we know of Holy” by Addison Road. This song pretty much signifies the essence of who God is. He is someone that we can’t even understand. His Holiness is beyond our comprehension. When we talk about “being good,” we generally mean that we haven’t got into any serious trouble and have “behaved” …

Psalm 28:7

“The Lord is my strength and my shield, in him my heart trusts, and I am helped,; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.”

Giving thanks to the Lord can not be a partial undertaking. To be true and honest, sincere and authentic, it takes the whole heart.

Another item we have to give thanks for is God’s “enduring love.” As I think about being a child of God, I can reflect upon being a father to my child. I am willing to give everything and anything for my child. I don’t want to see my child come to harm or to be deprived of anything. To attempt to measure this kind of human love of a child to the type of “agape” love that God shows I believe is not even comparable. God’s capability to love is far beyond human comprehension. Why do I say that?

The Book of John tells a great story of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. But in this passage, we are also reminded specifically in verses 12-13 that we have a right to become “children of God.”

As I blogged about Psalm 23, I realized that there is truly an unlimited amount of commentary that can be made about such a Psalm. However, as I submitted to the Lord and listened for guidance for today’s blog, I realized that sometimes, as Christians, we get “stuck” on Scriptures that we are familiar with. Therefore, today I have been led to comment about Psalm 24 – a lesser known Psalm.

1) “The Lord is my shepherd.” God is our protector, a shepherd that will guide us and protect us. But that also assumes then, that we follow the shepherd as sheep; we must be quiet, obey, and follow the direction given unto us.
