Am I faithful to you?

(S)Psa 145:1 A Song of Praise. Of David. I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever.
Psa 145:2 Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.
Psa 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
Psa 145:4 One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.
Psa 145:5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
Psa 145:6 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness.
Psa 145:7 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
Psa 145:8 The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Psa 145:9 The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.
Psa 145:10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O LORD, and all your saints shall bless you!
Psa 145:11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power,
Psa 145:12 to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

Psa 145:14 The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.
Psa 145:15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season.

Psa 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.
Psa 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Psa 145:19 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them.
Psa 145:20 The LORD preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
Psa 145:21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

(O)This chapter tells me of my security in the Lord. I do not see any reason why I should not praise God everyday because of His wonderful deeds (vs 1-14) . In v15, those who look, watch and expect from Him will never be hungry. In v20, I will be guarded, I will be attended and protected by the Lord. If God is for me who can be against me?

(A)My Lord is faithful and who can be more faithful than God. Am I faithful to Him? He gives me grace and mercy but am I extending it to others? Lord I praise you and thank you but am I obedient to you?

(P) Oh graciously Father, search me now and see inside my heart. Forgive me for my unfaithfulness. Lead me to righteousness and help me to become more and more like Christ everyday. Give me the grace to be faithful and obedient to you that I may always medidate into your words and apply it in my life. Lord I will put all my trust in you because there is no help in other than you alone. I will not find security and protection other than you alone my Lord and my Father in heaven. Thank you that you chose me to be your child, thank you that I have done nothing but because of my faith in Jesus, I was made righteous to you. Thank you that even if I am a sinner, I was made holy into your sight because I have Jesus in my heart. Oh Lord help me that I may always walk in your ways and help me live a life that would please you in Jesus name I pray, AMEN!!

I put my faith in You


Jer 39:1 In the tenth month of the ninth year that Zedekiah was king of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia came with his whole army and attacked Jerusalem.
Jer 39:2 On the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah's eleventh year as king, the city walls were broken through.
Jer 39:3 (When Jerusalem was captured, all the high officials of the king of Babylonia came and took their places at the Middle Gate, including Nergal Sharezer, Samgar Nebo, Sarsechim, and another Nergal Sharezer. )
Jer 39:4 When King Zedekiah and all his soldiers saw what was happening, they tried to escape from the city during the night. They left by way of the royal garden, went through the gateway connecting the two walls, and escaped in the direction of the Jordan Valley.
Jer 39:5 But the Babylonian army pursued them and captured Zedekiah in the plains near Jericho. Then they took him to King Nebuchadnezzar, who was in the city of Riblah in the territory of Hamath, and there Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
Jer 39:6 At Riblah he put Zedekiah's sons to death while Zedekiah was looking on, and he also had the officials of Judah executed.
Jer 39:7 After that, he had Zedekiah's eyes put out and had him placed in chains to be taken to Babylonia.
Jer 39:8 Meanwhile, the Babylonians burned down the royal palace and the houses of the people and tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jer 39:9 Finally Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, took away as prisoners to Babylonia the people who were left in the city, together with those who had deserted to him.
Jer 39:10 He left in the land of Judah some of the poorest people, who owned no property, and he gave them vineyards and fields.
Jer 39:11 But King Nebuchadnezzar commanded Nebuzaradan, the commanding officer, to give the following order:
Jer 39:12 "Go and find Jeremiah and take good care of him. Do not harm him, but do for him whatever he wants."
Jer 39:13 So Nebuzaradan, together with the high officials Nebushazban and Nergal Sharezer and all the other officers of the king of Babylonia,
Jer 39:14 had me brought from the palace courtyard. They put me under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, who was to see that I got home safely. And so I stayed there among the people.
Jer 39:15 While I was still imprisoned in the palace courtyard, the LORD told me
Jer 39:16 to tell Ebedmelech the Ethiopian that the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, had said, "Just as I said I would, I am going to bring upon this city destruction and not prosperity. And when this happens, you will be there to see it.
Jer 39:17 But I, the LORD, will protect you, and you will not be handed over to the people you are afraid of.
Jer 39:18 I will keep you safe, and you will not be put to death. You will escape with your life because you have put your trust in me. I, the LORD, have spoken."
Father God, I thank you and I praise you this day. Thank you for this wonderful day you have made for me. Thank you for your faithfulness and I humbly come before your throne. Filled me with your Holy Spirit today that I may live a life that is holy and pleasing to you, Thank you for forgiving all my sins through your son.I put my trust in you today Oh my Lord and I thank you that you will protect me. I put my faith in you today Lord that I will seek your counsel in everything that I do. I praise you and help me that I may not put shame to your name to day, help me to live a life pleasing to you that I may not grieved the Holy Spirit that lives in me. Do not lead me to test and I rebuke any works of evil today because greater is He that lives in me than he that lives in this world In Jesus Name I pray AMEN!

Search my heart


Jer 17:1 "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars,
Jer 17:2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree and on the high hills,
Jer 17:3 on the mountains in the open country. Your wealth and all your treasures I will give for spoil as the price of your high places for sin throughout all your territory.
Jer 17:4 You shall loosen your hand from your heritage that I gave to you, and I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever."
Jer 17:5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD.
Jer 17:6 He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land.
Jer 17:7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.
Jer 17:8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit."
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Jer 17:10 "I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds."
Jer 17:11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch, so is he who gets riches but not by justice; in the midst of his days they will leave him, and at his end he will be a fool.
Jer 17:12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
Jer 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame; those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth, for they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water.
Jer 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.
Jer 17:15 Behold, they say to me, "Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come!"
Jer 17:16 I have not run away from being your shepherd, nor have I desired the day of sickness. You know what came out of my lips; it was before your face.
Jer 17:17 Be not a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
Jer 17:18 Let those be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed; bring upon them the day of disaster; destroy them with double destruction!
Jer 17:19 Thus said the LORD to me: "Go and stand in the People's Gate, by which the kings of Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem,
Jer 17:20 and say: 'Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates.
Jer 17:21 Thus says the LORD: Take care for the sake of your lives, and do not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Jer 17:22 And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath or do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers.
Jer 17:23 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hear and receive instruction.
Jer 17:24 "'But if you listen to me, declares the LORD, and bring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it,
Jer 17:25 then there shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever.
Jer 17:26 And people shall come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the Shephelah, from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
Jer 17:27 But if you do not listen to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem and shall not be quenched.'
Father God, you are the master of my heart. Search my heart and tell me if there is any deceitful thing in it. Purify my heart and let me come before your holy throne today to worship you, to praise you and to thank you for all the things you are doing in my life. Allow me Lord to see the blessings the wonderful things that you are doing to me. Show me Father your wonderful deeds that I may thank you and praise you. Father continue to open my eyes and let me focus on the things that are unseen and not on the things of this world. Oh Father I am your adopted child and let me thank you for chosing me as you heir in your kingdom. Do not allow me to put shame in your name but help me live a holy life because you are holy. You are my fortress and my salvation. Jesus you are my cornerstone and my refuge. Restore to me this day my joy of salvation and help me to have contenment and peace in my heart. Help me to discern your will to me this day that I may follow your ways and not my ways my God. Help me to be more intimate with you day by day and transform me into glory to glory. Heavenly Father, give me the power to avoid temptations and deliver me from any evil today. Protect me and my family from evil and from any harm In Jesus Name I pray AMEN!
