Psalm 11.

Hello there.
I'm sorry I haven't been blogging for a while, since I came back from my holiday, I have been working.
So here we go again, I might be a bit sporadic, but I hope to get some bible study done on Psalm 11.
This is what I've been thinking about today.
I was at work, and I was thinking about all the things God has done for me, and for us.
You might have heard the saying, you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family.
And it's true.
So in Psalm 11, we read, that the Lord is the only one we can go to, and only in him we are truly safe.
Verse 1, In the lord, I can take refuge, how then can, you  say to me, flee like a bird, to your mountain, when calamity comes and when we are left shaking, who do we go and get advice?
We get it from our friends, and family, others from other sources, but we as Christians pray, and we get down on our knees and we pray, pray for God's peace to come to us.
Now getting down on your knees, does 2 things.
1. We are lowing our self to God.
2. It is a part of honouring him, and seeing him.
When you are in the middle of the battle, it might be wordily, it might be personal but when we pray, we are directly calling on God for his fear, and help. Fearing God isn't a run away from him.
We should be running to God, having our own eyes on him, and firmly fixed, then nothing will shake us.
Like a well  oiled machine that works well, we should be like that, give away our secrets, and not live in fear.
Like the great famous quote says, "Don't only practice it's art, but force your way into it's secrets.'' What ever your art is, practice it, perfect it, use to to build God's kingdom, and be strong, take heart small beating heart, you can live again.
Take courage people who dream big, because one day those dreams of yours will come true.
And don't keep secrets to yourself, share them with others so that others will know, that it will spread.
We all need hope, and if you have hope that lies in you, well you've got what it takes.
Go to God on your knees,  and tell him what you need, it might be understanding, it might be wanting to know God more, it might be helping others.
Give all your secrets away.
