Psalm 15

 I like Psalm, 15 because it has the 3 "S'', short sweet, and savoury.
It sounds like recipe for a Maranda savoury muffin recipe doesn't?

Psalm 15 is has only 5 verses.
So there's no excuse not to read it.
What I love about it, it's truthful, and it's from David, it's a praise  Psalm..
It's a psalm to go to when you're spiritual tired, and it happens in church, it happens to worship leaders, and pastors, and other leaders, so if you're feeling drained, take hope my friend, there is something in here for you.
Summarizing, verse 2-5, talks about cheating on God, and being blameless, when  we reach out to others, even buying someone their lunch, or if you can't take them to church you are reaching out.
Just doing that small one thing, and taking notes on the sermons, yes I know, it sounds old school, but when I do that, or do some other bible study, time and time again I come back to a psalm, or some teaching on hardship, and it's pulled me through.
I love what David says, at the end of verse 5, "He, who does these thing, will never be shaken.'' if we don't accept bribes, if we loose our life in this world, if we compromise, and if we're only part time Christians, we will feel like something is missing, my friend, this isn't you.
But if you are thinking a bit tried, go back to the bible, with God's voice, and his love and tender care, he'll steer you, in the right direction, so that you don't have to make it on your own.
You don't have to try and fix everything up.
God is always there, God is there when it seems like everyone is not you.
God sees you're pain, and just briefly, I just want to talk to you about Mary who didn't recognise Christ after his resurrection,  her pain was so deep, and she wanted to go back to the place where, she last saw Christ, she was also the same Mary who sat at Jesus, feet when her sister Martha, wanted her to help her with the house work.
Poor Martha, I wonder if she knew how famous she would become through her sister, never mind.
Mary was the caring sort, she knew that Christ was going to die, so she wanted to spend the final time with him.
When she saw Christ, in the garden, she though that she was the gardener, Jesus knew her, and he didn't leave her, he came back, and showed her the love that she needed.
No matter how your day plans out, no matter if you've had a bad day, a bad week, perhaps it's been longer than a week, months, year, perhaps there's pain unspeakable pain, who if you had magical powers, you'd just use them on one special person to help heal them, to fix them up.
But the only person that you've got to trust, is, Christ, you have to put that person in, Jesus, hands, you've got to hand it over, now handing things over, isn't a thing done right away, it's a gradual thing.
So when you release it to God, it's in his control.
That's all I want to share, with you.
So we need to, be careful, we can't buy God, we can't make him take notice in us,  Zacharias learnt that lesson, Jesus calls us by name, he loves you.
He calls you by name, he knows what you need what you want, and will give it to you at the time he thinks and he knows.
