Life of Praise
if you are there and remember click the link in the title of song for YouTube
I will love You, Lord always
Not just for the things You've done for me
And I will praise You all my days
Not just for the change You've made in me
I'll praise you for You are holy, Lord
And I'll lift my hands, but You are worthy of so much more
Chorus:
For You are awesome, God of the Nations,
Lion of Judah, Rock of the Ages, Alpha, Omega
You're worthy of all praise
More that these hands I'll raise
I'll live a life of praise
I will serve You Lord, always for You are my strength
When I am weak
I will never be afraid for You are my rock and You protect me
But I'll praise You for You are holy, Lord
And I'll lift my hands, but You are worthy of so much more
Enough said AMEN!!!

Still Trusting or Am I?
Phil 4:9
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
which lead me to my life verse of ole:
prov 3:5-7
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
Pro 3:6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Pro 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
Which in turn lead me to using Trust for title, same as last blog i believe. But wait.... hesitation overwhelmed me...then the word Still Trusting..... No that's not right either......Am I Not Trusting Him to my fullest capacity? Ouch....
I must meditate on these verses for a while....How about You? Dare You to Move......Trust

My NEW thoughts on Life
II Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
2Pe 1:4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
2Pe 1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
2Pe 1:7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
2Pe 1:8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
2Pe 1:10 Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,
2Pe 1:11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.
2Pe 1:13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,
2Pe 1:14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
AMEN
Praise Him for He has been so good to US. I have countless blessing to offer my thanksgiving to daily. How about you? Praise the Lord and Fill your being with His Love and Glory.

Trust
Hey anybody out there? Just got back from a wonderful time with friends camping. Every evening we had time of worship and fellowship. very heart warming to see the youth group make "God" commercials, sing Praises to Our King, and Play and have fun!! my youngest even joined in with guitar on one song! Games, late nights or was it early morning? new friendships and lots of food and pool activities.
when i came to blog the first word that came in was trust so let's go to His Word and see what Trust is all about....
Numbers 20:12
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
well this reminded me of the "unloved" no the "unknowing" who drove their children by us to shout out rude things as we Praised the Lord. Someone behind me said, "they should be slapped." I thought no we need to pray for them.
Psalm 9:10
Those who know Your Name will Trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.
This is what i know of Trust! and of HIM my Creator, Provider and King of Kings!
So not much here but instead of looking and not writing I read thought and wrote. The devotion that i can muster at this time :) Love You Lord!

Hopeful Praise
Read: Psalm 103:1-14
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. --Psalm 103:2
One of my friends was in tears on a beautiful summer day, unable to deal with life’s difficulties. Another could not look beyond the life-altering sadnesses of her past. Still another struggled with the closing of the small church he had pastored faithfully. A fourth friend had lost his job at a local ministry.
What can our struggling friends--or any of us--do to find hope? Where do we turn when tomorrow offers no happy promises?
We can praise or “bless” the Lord, as David said in Psalm 103. In the middle of trouble, acknowledging God’s role in our lives can redirect our thinking from the hurts of our hearts and force us to dwell instead on the greatness of our God. David knew trouble. He faced the threat of enemies, the consequences of his own sin, and the challenges of sorrow. Yet he also recognized the healing power of praise.
That’s why in Psalm 103 he can list reasons to turn our attention to God, who gives us many benefits: He forgives us, heals us, redeems us, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires, and renews us. David reminds us that God provides justice and righteousness, and He is gracious and loving.
Take it from David: Praising God’s greatness puts hope in our troubled hearts. --Dave Branon
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To His feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing! --Lyte
Praise can lighten your heaviest burden.

FORNICATION
oH FATHER GOD, LET ME ALWAYS HEAR YOUR WORD! I have read Jesus' word in John 8 and i say unto You Heavenly Father to stand by me when i am weak and give me strength to always do what is right. I pray Father for the wisdom of Your SON Jesus to be strong in me as a parent and to do what is right before the children that you have blessed upon me. Lord please speak to them too, let them hear Your Word and Know what is Your Will. Let not the sin of Fornication separate us from you oh GOD. Let Your Will be Done; As i continue to want what i get for I stand in YOU! You are in Control and I am at Your Feet.
Jhn 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Jhn 8:33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How [can] You say, 'You will be made free'?"
Jhn 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
Jhn 8:35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, [but] a son abides forever.
Jhn 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Jhn 8:37 "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
Jhn 8:38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with [fn] your father."
Jhn 8:39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Jhn 8:40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Jhn 8:41 You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."
Jhn 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Jhn 8:43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
Jhn 8:44 You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own [resources], for he is a liar and the father of it.
Jhn 8:45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
Jhn 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Jhn 8:47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
Jhn 8:48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
Jhn 8:49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

for·ni·ca·tion (fôr'nĭ-kā'shən)
n. Sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other.
Word History: The word fornication had a lowly beginning suitable to what has long been the low moral status of the act to which it refers. The Latin word fornix, from which fornicātiō, the ancestor of fornication, is derived, meant "a vault, an arch." The term also referred to a vaulted cellar or similar place where prostitutes plied their trade. This sense of fornix in Late Latin yielded the verb fornicārī, "to commit fornication," from which is derived fornicātiō, "whoredom, fornication." Our word is first recorded in Middle English about 1303.

Fornication
in every form of it was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law (Lev. 21:9; 19:29; Deut. 22:20, 21, 23-29; 23:18; Ex. 22:16). (See ADULTERY.) But this word is more frequently used in a symbolical than in its ordinary sense. It frequently means a forsaking of God or a following after idols (Isa. 1:2; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 1:2; 2:1-5; Jer. 3:8,9).

Strictly, "voluntary sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman;" extended in the Bible to adultery.

Fornication
in every form of it was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law (Lev. 21:9; 19:29; Deut. 22:20, 21, 23-29; 23:18; Ex. 22:16). (See ADULTERY.) But this word is more frequently used in a symbolical than in its ordinary sense. It frequently means a forsaking of God or a following after idols (Isa. 1:2; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 1:2; 2:1-5; Jer. 3:8,9).
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Jhn 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
Jhn 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Jhn 8:33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How [can] You say, 'You will be made free'?"
Jhn 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
Jhn 8:35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, [but] a son abides forever.
Jhn 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Jhn 8:37 "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
Jhn 8:38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with [fn] your father."
Jhn 8:39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Jhn 8:40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Jhn 8:41 You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."
Jhn 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Jhn 8:43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
Jhn 8:44 You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own [resources], for he is a liar and the father of it.
Jhn 8:45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
Jhn 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Jhn 8:47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
Jhn 8:48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
Jhn 8:49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
isiah 23:17 And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the LORD will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
Jhn 8:41 You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."
2Cr 12:21 lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
Eph 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
Col 3:5 Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Rev 14:8 And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
Rev 17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
Rev 17:4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
Rev 18:3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury."
Rev 18:9 "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her."

Commit vs Committed
WOW i didn't know this word was SO BIG.....Or DID I? I was invited to a Disciple class with friends. The invitation was a general invitation to many i am sure. Within the content of the invitation read, "only for those that are committed to HEAR THE WORD and then be DOERS OF THE WORD." ............…
So I thought the word Committed and Doers together scared me! I am commanded to be a doer and feel like a failure because i am not "Comfortable" spreading the gospel as a "Disciple" although i have some of the words in my heart not many stay in my memory. Although I AM Not Afraid to acknowledge HIM for ALL HE Does in me and my life; I have fear of the world and those in it that my challenge me or my faith.
SO what does it mean to commit - 8 dictionary results (i think more than 8 don't count too many) AND Is there a difference to be Committed? Let's e Honest there is too much reading below for me to read and analyse in one setting, not to mention it's time to get ready for work, that is NOT being a DOER is it? See my dilemma?
I made it down to Usage i commented and Bolded some thoughts :)

To intrust denotes the act of committing to the exercise of confidence or trust; as, to intrust a friend with the care of a child, or with a secret. To consign is a more formal act, and regards the thing transferred as placed chiefly or wholly out of one's immediate control; as, to consign a pupil to the charge of his instructor; to consign goods to an agent for sale; to consign a work to the press.
