Pastors, You Are Appreciated
The month of October is celebrated as Pastor Appreciation Month. My pastor, as the head of the church, taught me a lot about being a servant leader, a tactful administrator, and a compassionate giver of time and support to others.
Somebody Prayed For Me
Psalm 20 brings to mind those times in my life when I felt overwhelmed with trouble. Feeling weak, anxious, helpless and afraid, I could feel my faith wavering as doubts flooded my heart and mind. In those tough times, I would call on my rolodex of prayer warriors. These precious saints would pray confidently about the faithful, unfailing and victorious God who is our Father, our refuge, our savior and deliverer.

Hunger and Thirst
David wrote this song while he was in the desert wilderness, hiding from Saul. I imagine the harsh conditions he endured; the intense heat, the unbearable thirst and the desperate hunger. I expected to hear David crying out to the Lord for help with all these struggles. To my surprise and pleasure, I discovered that David instead hungered and thirsted after God.
This psalm illustrates the difference between being carnal minded, focusing on the flesh, and being spiritually minded, focusing on the goodness and blessings of God. This is certainly not easy to do when we are bombarded daily with the cares and duties challenging us. Lord, please help me to keep my mind stayed on you so you can keep me in perfect peace. Let my soul hunger and thirst after your righteousness.
How Great Thou Art
In the beginning of Psalm chapter eight, David proclaims the greatness of God. When I reflect on the ways mankind has abused, neglected and ravaged our planet, I feel we should all be reminded that all life around us, from the planets to the rivers, mountains and forests, was lovingly created for us by God. I pray that we do better to honor this gesture by cherishing and preserving God’s miraculous creation. And that includes the one that was made in His image, mankind. Let’s take good care of each other.
