Start the New Year with Neci Hurdle: Gather with good people to do good things
In fact, on the very first day of 2025, I will be gathering with joyful women at my daughter’s Women’s Fellowship Brunch. What an amazing way to start the year off just right.
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.
No Condemnation
In Psalm 31, David weeps from the ravages of his iniquities. But even in this lowly state, he declares God is still with him, his rock and strength (31:2). David still trusts that the Lord will come down to his level, to bow down His ear to listen to him.
God Don’t Like Ugly
Today, on Do Something Nice Day, you might be wondering why you should do something nice. In today’s blog, Debra tells us of three rewards for being nice. And after all, God Don’t Like Ugly.
God of War and Love
David was a king acquainted with war. In Psalm 35, he speaks in the vernacular of a warrior and leader accustomed to facing many enemies on the battlefield. This chapter is his courageous prayer to God to lead him to total victory against his oppressors. He is equally unyielding in his call for their destruction and in his faith in God to perform it.
Safe From Harm
David seems to be presenting an argument to God, justifying his right for God’s protection because of his own works. David sees man’s covenant with God as one where, as long as you are keeping your end of the bargain, by keeping God’s commandments, then God will honor His promises by blessing and protecting you. This perspective is not unusual in light of the Old Testament/Covenant of God and man.
