Peace in the Valley

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace. whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." Isaiah 26:3 KJV

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4 KJV

I must confess that the LORD is my Peace: Jehovah-Shalom. He gives me peace of mind. He corrects me in his tender mercies and his unfailing love. He shows me the paths of righteousness and sanctifies me in my innermost being. Though I have been straying, the Master keeps me within His sheepfold. He is a Father that never fails to keep His promises. He is a God that delivers His people from the enemy's hands. He is a Keeper of the people of God. He is my Rock, my Fortress, my Shield, my Strength, my Song, my Rest. He gives peace of mind. He speaks through visions and dreams. He blesses the weak and exalts the humble. He abases the proud and shuts down the wicked. I love Him more today than yesterday. I know He loves me better than I love myself. Bless His Name! Bless God when you get the chance. When your money is funny and your bills are due. When your peace is running thin and your family is in a rut. When you are dealing with unreasonable people in your everyday experience, Bless God. He deserves the praise and the glory. He has kept us in the land of the living. :I will bless the Lord at all times," says the Psalmist, and his praise shall continually be in my mouth." Somebody thank God for His peace!!!! He's keeping me through the Valley!

Here's a thought.

I'm sitting in my room chilling thinking about Christians and our relationship with cyberspace. More specifically, I've been thinking about the reason I have a weblog. I rarely post anything unless I've have been thinking about it or praying about it. My question to myself was: How is God glorified in my writing. Jesus declares that we shall give an account for every idle word spoken on the day of judgment (Matthew 12:36). So everything that is written on this blog should give glory to God. So what I write from now on will give God glory if I haven't really up till now.

A Prayer:
So Father this cyberjournal will bring You glory. This will be an honest place of reflection and prayer, Lord. Thank You for the opportunity to live one more day. May this weblog be consecrated and used for thy good pleasure O God. In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.
