Love and Lies – Incompatible Elements


Psalm 78:36-37 – “Nevertheless they loved Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.  37 For their hearts were not right with Him,  neither were they steadfast in His Covenant.”

Today, I pray for divine wisdom and favor to overflow to you and from you so powerfully that it amazes others.   Not that they will be amazed about you, but the God in you and begin to seek Him.   I pray for the provision of All you need when you need it.   I pray for abundance to be in your hand and Agape in your heart.

I had a long and troubled night.  I was physically and mentally exhausted, as though I had been in severe hand-to-hand combat.   I probably disturbed my wife and our critters in my restlessness. I will be fine; I am just seeking His face and grace.

I read a challenging passage in Psalm 78 that was, at first, troubling.   However, hope arose in verses 38-39 – “He is merciful, the forgiver of sins, and destroys not; yeah, many a time turned He His anger away and did not stir up His wrath.  39 For He remembered that they were flesh; a wind that passes away and comes not again.”

Three times in Psalm 80, verses  3, 7, 19, the same words are uttered.    It is more than the chorus of a song repeated after each stanza.  It is a cry and revelation.   “Guide us again, O mighty God, and cause Thy face to shine; AND we shall be saved.”   Only through His mercy, grace, and guidance do we have hope.  Only in those do we have help.  Only in those do we have peace.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 –“But the Lord is faithful; He will guide you and deliver you from evil.”

In Numbers 6:22-27, we find The Aaronic blessing.  It contains the vision of God’s shining face.   That is our desire – Pleasing God.  It is my prayer for each of you that God will smile upon you, open heaven for you, and give you grace and peace.   May He grant the strength to pursue His purposes and walk in His precepts.

Lord, we, once again, surrender all to You!  Receive our offering!  Amen!

Walk victorious in Jesus, abandon all lies, and embrace Love!   Have a Great Day!
