Psalms 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
I got up early this morning and checked my bank balance, and then got the mail out of the mailbox, which had been there for the past couple days. Needless to say, this was not the best way to start a brand new day. I then checked the verse of the day in the Bible app on my iPhone, and found the above referenced verse. Now this I thought, is the way one should start a brand new day. We should start each new day by praising Jesus and casting all our cares and burdens upon him. After doing this, my heart was filled with joy, and the words to the song, “This Is The Day The Lord Has Made”, flooded my mind. It reminded me of when I would come home from a hard day at work, and find our, bright eyed, bushy tailed puppy, waiting at the door to greet me, and bouncing around excitedly and ready to play. This is the same type of reception we get, when we enter into God’s loving presence! I much prefer this over the realization that my bills total more than my bank balance. But then I realize why God brought the verse referenced above to my attention. Because the Lord is my strength and shield, and I trust in him, and he feels my heart with joy, and with my song I praise him! My little puppy acts the way he does because he loves me, and he would give his life for me. Does that sound like someone else you know? In response, I would just like to say that I love my little puppy, and I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! With this in mind, my response this morning is the following poem,“Love Song “. Praise the holy name of Jesus!
Love Song
When I am weak and weary,
And I can’t tell right from wrong.
I kneel down in His presence,
And lift up my voice in song.
There upon a lonely cross,
You gave Your life up for me.
You paid the price for my sin,
You then set this sinner free.
When I stumble and fall down,
On this cold and rocky road.
You lift me up by your side,
And You take my heavy load.
Oh thank you precious Jesus,
For every thing You have done.
May these words express more love,
Than any song ever sung.
Dear Jesus I adore thee,
No other name can compare.
You are the Rock of All Ages,
You took all my sins to bare.
