The daily thread.

[W2L]

In bed I only have a smart phone. I am house-bound but can see out of my window onto our small mature garden. We have palms, frangipani, and beauganvilla and visits by humming birds. God's wonderful world, and I have my wife.
I will enjoy watching this thread but can only contribute with short posts. God bless you all.

Thats ok. Im glad you're here.

Hello Norman. Your garden sounds lovely, especially with the humming bird visits. I have never seen a humming bird in person, although i've heard they're very small, so i may have missed seeing them...but i also live in the city, which they may not be inclined to venture into because of all of the concrete, etc.

Welcome to thread. It's delightful reading your post, and welcome to CF.

I would like to present a brief testimony about my wife and myself but perhaps the Deeper Fellowship forum would be the more appropriate place.
BTW we are retired in Barbados, my wife is Barbadian and I am British.

This Psalm is still true today. Of course the law has changed but the Psalm is still true. Same with Psalms 119, and all others as well.

Psalms 1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the [a]path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its [c]leaf does not wither;
And [d]in whatever he does, he prospers.

4 The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord [e]knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

 

[W2L]

Those who seek Gods face.

Psalms 24:6 [d]This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob. [e]Selah.

 

[W2L]

This scripture has a footnote that says the word "sincerity" of heart means simplicity of heart. Praise the Lord, i love simplicity.

NASB Acts 2:46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread [e]from house to house, they were taking their [f]meals together with gladness and [g]sincerity of heart,

 

[W2L]

Today i walked with God, literally. My heart sang a song as i walked and i felt so blessed.

 

[W2L]

So many battles i have fought. To have peace and joy is so blessed. My mind and heart are at rest and im so thankful. I know by experience that the battles are not over, but this moment i will savor. Praise the Lord.

 

[W2L]

Psalm 30[a]

1 I will exalt you, Lord,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me.
3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit.

4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

6 When I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7 Lord, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.

8 To you, Lord, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;
Lord, be my help.”

11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.

 

[W2L]

Some days you gotta lay your burdens down. I forgot to meditate today, lost my way. Life can be hard.

 

[W2L]

Where do you go when you have no place to go? There is only one answer. The Lord is my shepherd.

 

[W2L]

Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
23 The Lord is my shepherd,
I [a]shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He guides me in the [c]paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no [e]evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6 [g]Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [h]dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 

[W2L]

Amen.

 

[W2L]

I feel as if the Lord sat down beside me and smiled at me. What a lovely thought.

 

[W2L]

looks like the daily thread turned into the weekly thread. Have a blessed night folks.

Simplicity has become my path. There are many questions one could ask, but in the end i need simplicity. To know the Lord and to know love, this is the most important of all things.

 

[Lost4words]

To be free from sin. To walk with Jesus with a pure heart.

 

[W2L]

To be free from sin. To walk with Jesus with a pure heart.

Yes, thats my hope. Thank you.

I have always loved this: "At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will." (and also the following verses, absolutely amazing)
