I was homeless for a season but I continued to trust God and being patient and waiting on the Lord. Some days were good others were bad but I keep praying fasting and trusting him to come through for me. Reading and trusting his word daily has helped me with all the things I went through but this chapter had help me not to worry and lean more on him daily.
Study to show yourself approved to whom? God, not man. Arguing the scriptures is futile and foolish, for we don't rate an opinion on the uncompromised Word of God. It says it all, perfectly. So drink of its passion and allow the fresh breeze of the Holy one to cleanse and set free, us, the reader. Daily God's love will flow from our healed soul and born again spirit.
Whenever I feel like no one cares I always remember the words from 23rd Psalms and instantly I feel hope. When life seems so bleak I read this psalms and it reminds me of how God loves me and will always provide for me.
Thank you God and Jesus for never ending love amidst a hateful world. Jesus thank you for your Holy Spirit, helping us do even more. You encouraged knowledge of you to go out, ‘ to be your example to the ends of the world.’ Let all born again go out to third worlds, exercise faith in love with Jesus. We must get away from head knowledge only, listening, joining God, finishing our race strong. Amen
God is so good to us... we sin and mess up time after time, and yet He still loves us and, once we confess, sees only the blood of Christ covering us, not the scars and marks of all our sin. How could we not love Him? He is so much better than we deserve!
God’s timing we are blessed with. My last storm seemed so difficult, but I remained in his Word and vine. Year (s) later, looking back I see His handiwork and love for all. I couldn’t imagine this positive retrospect during the storm, now realizing I’m even a better witness. And my past storms brought those things prayed for, often decades later! What patience he produces in me. Amen, brother Kurt
When we need strength..all we need to do is to get to a place where we realize that God definely has it...and all we need to do is ask Him. My God is faithful to say "ok".
Thank you, Heavenly Father.
Thy shall not want.... to me means God has provided all that is and will be needed. Be content in Him. Don't go after false gods. Temptation comes from lack of sincere thankfulness and acknowledgement that "God is". In God all things are possible unlike with man.
Amen amen in the name of Jesus, praise the Lord God is real and his word does not come back void I just thank him I thank him I thank you Jesus amen amen in the name of Jesus praise the Lord God is real and his word does not come back void when the Lord turned again. Captivity and yes he's on his way back again
Dear friends, may I testify to the awesome and sustaining power of this verse. I was diagnosed with a rare incurable cancer at the end of 2016. But in the Lord Jesus I have found complete contentment and peace. My treatment has not always been successful, in fact one set even did harm but the Lord has cradled me in peace all the way. I cannot praise Him enough for His loving kindness.
Psalm 1 is very consoling for me a sinner.it teaches me to be a good child of God inspite of my repetitious sins. Psalm 1 tells me to be a righteous person in spite of my being a sinner. Pretty soon the good Lord will help me to be a good child of God! Just keep praying and doing good.

"My sheep hear my voice",so we find ourselves reading his word,unlike others headed to the pit.We are in preparation for eternity with him and praise him for his evident works and operations.He strengthens and shields us as we walk in the world held by his enemy.We have cause for a song from our hearts.We may feel alone,but are among his anointed,who have a sure inheritance.God saves by his grace.
I appreciate the comments of many of you who have a deeper understanding of the scripture. I am 71 years old and have been in the family of Christ since I was 15. All I have to rely on is the assurance that I am saved and the humility to admit the many things I do not know. But I do know this: Jesus is my Savior and the Savior of this world.
God is so wonderful! It is He, who gives and takes away. His correction is for our own benefit. First to prove us, then to bless us. The word power here means strength. Because of Him, we walk, run, work etc. Our very existence is because of Him.
amen
Thank you, Heavenly Father.
Know him, teach on him, honor him in all we do! Amen
