THE LIVING WORDS OF CHRIST, THE PSALMS OF MY LIFE

GOD'S LIVING WORD FOR TODAY

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark
world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full
armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and
after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.

PSALMS OF JOY CHAPTER 88


1.  Lord,  I can't even stand the sound of my own voice anymore.
The world is full of words.  Most words are filled with self interest, pride, deception, manipulation, greed and hypocrisy.  Other words instill fear, doubt, unbelief, shame, humiliation, and bondage.

2.  Men and women of power, use their words to do all of the above to enslave others and seem to revel in it.  The nations rage.   Wars and rumors of wars.

3.  Audible and inaudible sound waves of words bombarding our heads in ways we do not comprehend and leaving us exhausted in mind body and spirit. 

4.  Oh how blessed is Your silence Lord.  Yet does it speak with reverberation in me.  The Word of truth,  the Word of Grace,  Comfort and Peace.  Your Word lifts me above the noisome pestilence and chaos all about me.

5.  In quietness and confidence,  Your Word to me is my strength, my faith, my hope and only salvation.  My Rest.
