Psalm 101 and my thoughts about it.

Hello there my friends.
I hope that you're having a really nice day.

It is clear in Dunedin, a beautiful still day. with no wind,which is a mercy.

I don't know about you, but sometimes we go through valleys and mountains in life. It is natural to do so.

So my question is, dear friends where are you at the moment?

Are you thinking everything is fine, and it is. Or are you feeling isolated and lonely?

Sometimes we can have heaps of friends and still be lonely, sometimes we can have a lot of friends and feel lonely. shall we go that deep?

Sometimes, we think we are fine by ourselves, that we don't need anyone to ''fix us'' or meet our needs.

This was me and the lord recently, I was just using him, and not having communication with him. just thanking him for all he's done.

But then he told me, that he's got some work to do in my life, that he's not a rescue blanket.
He's alive and living.

I was at church recently, and other people were getting vissions, and dreams, and I was just seeing sheets of rain come down, and watering the wells of people.

Then a light went on, and it was the fact that the more Jesus gives to the person who seeks him the more gifts he gives. so we need to spend time in his word, and not just rattle off prayers, and other things. that we want.

I was becoming quite selfish in this area.

I was climbing a mountain of self righteousness, and it was very lonely.

So what did I do? I asked the lord to open my eyes, to where he is working in my life.

I asked for some guidance along the way, that I didn't want to do this trek alone.
and be vulnerable for others.

So I've chosen Psalm 101, today for my bible study. Because this world needs hope.

It is riddeled with fear and lies, and we need shafts of hope to come and fill us up.
These are what the lord gave me, in the ''wells'' that have been stopped, we have been stopped, by people too long, to say it can't be done.

or that project is too big, or your a small person you can't be a person of influence.
but we can.

Let Psalm 101 be your map for your life, sing of God's goodness to you, let him hold you when you feel frail.
 when things are unknown let him tell you that things come at the right time.

Verse 2, Says, I will walk in my house, with a blameless life.

That could go for work too, be of good cheer and courage.

Not stir the pot and agree with the wrong things, but help each other out.
When we work as a team, we communicate as a team and you'll be much better in your job.

I was at a supermarket, and for me it was a job, it was money, I wanted to add a little girl to my sponsor family. and I didn't want to have another christmas, so while I was happy at the supermarket, I prayed for a better job.

I saw that the lord opened the door, and  left it open for me to try out at the school.
now I get holidays, and paid ones, and I can use my money to do other projects.

but I have to walk with a blameless life, because it will go well with you, if you keep communication open with the lord.
The lord will bless you.


Verse 6 says, ''My eyes will be on the faithful, in the land, and that they may dwell with me. He whose walk is blameless will minister to me.''


We also have a social duty.

If you see someone in need serve them.

I'm beginning to pray in tongues in the school. and I pray for the boys who will have my baking.

I also have social duty to my children who I sponsor, as one friend said her adoptive daughter, and I love that.

It is a really scary time for them, at the moment with Covid, they are in countries that aren't as well off  as us.

So they need relief parcels, as well.

If you have the money, please give to the people who give it to the children, make sure that 100% goes to the organization.

I am thinking of dear Grace, and Tallato, as they go about their day, I can't be there humanly, but I can be praying for them.

What I love about Tear-fund, is that they are thankful for the things, that you do as you sponsor or give donations.

Now if you can't that's fine, perhaps you find other ways in blessing people.


In conclusion, verse 8. it says ''Every morning, I will put to silence all the wicked, in the land.

Now sometimes we can't do that, but we can put to silence our wrong thinking.

Surround, yourself with good people, who uplift you, and bring out the good.

Not be friends with people who have no filters, and or be very wary of them.

 Keep your distance.

So keep up the good work.
You're doing well.

Those are my thoughts for today.
