I Call on You 9/26/18

September 26 2018 I call on You

Personal Journal by Dorothy Callies

Psalm 17:6 NKJV

“I call on You, my God, for You will answer me;

turn Your ear to me and Hear my prayer.”

David, the singer-poet of Israel called upon God.

God is the One we trust with our lives every day.

God gives us peace and assurance every day.

God is our safe place every day.

Song: Every Day with Jesus

Every day with Jesus

Is sweeter than the day before.

Every day with Jesus,

I love Him more and more.

Jesus saves and keeps me,

And He’s the One I'm waiting for.

Every day with Jesus,

Is sweeter than the day before.

Soul Glorifies God 9/22/18

Sept 22 2018 Personal Journal by Dorothy Callies 

“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

Luke 1:46-47 NKJV ….

“For the Mighty One has done great things for me.” (vv.46-49).

Daily Bread – Dec. 15, 2018 reads:  Mary thank God because she recognize that her daily provision comes from His hand (V.53). Let us recounting the great things God has done for us because it is a way to express praise and can lead us to rejoice. 

Song: Rejoice, the Lord is King

Rejoice the Lord is King,

Your Lord and King adore!

Rejoice, give thanks and sing,

And triumph evermore!

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

(Charles Wesley)

Stir Up 8/12/18

Hebrews 10:24 kjv: "And let us consider one another to *provoke unto love and to good works."  *Provoke=Call forth, stir up.

NKJV: Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good work.  NCV:  Let us think about each other and help each other to show love and do good deeds. 

AMP: Hebrews 10:23
"So let us seize and hold fast and retrain (to keep in possession or use) without wavering the hope we cherish and confess, and our acknowledgment of it, for He Who promised is reliable (for sure) and faithful to His Word." 

AMP: Hebrews 10:24
 "And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities."

Friend 8/8/18

Psalm 119:76 - I interpret this: 
Lord, I pray to You, You are merciful and kindness.  These are my comfort as You have promised Your Word to me as Your friend, not as a servant. 

Jesus said in John 15:13-17 NCV
"The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what is doing.  But I call you, friends, because I have made known to you everything I heard from My Father.

You did not choose Me; I chose you.  And I gave you this work: to go and produce fruit that will last.  Then the Father will give you anything you ask for in My name.  This is My command:  Love each other."

It Is Good! 9/3/18

Psalm 119:71 "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes."
NCV: It was good for me to suffer so I would learn Your demands.

This verse impressed me. Why?  It took suffering to learn His Laws, His Words and His demands.  This is what make me want to write His famous chapter 119 of the greatest Psalm.

 Quote from devotion says: Psalm 119 celebrates the POWER and NECESSITY of God's Words in our lives.  It lights our path (v. 105), revives our souls (v. 107), and guards our steps (v.110). 

Through the Scriptures we find wisdom, guidance, life and joy.  Psalm 119:111 "Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
