Rise Up

Originally published on 9/8/2009

David asks an important question here:

Psalm 94:16-19

New International Version (NIV)

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17 Unless the LORD had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your love, O LORD, supported me.

19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul.

Who will rise up again the wicked?  Who will take a stand?  For us to be completed committed we have to.  That does not mean we go and burn down abortion clinics or yell at people in bars, etc.  What it means is that we use every opportunity to SPEAK the truth.  We stand up, and teach, we love, we live it!  AND we will have God supporting us the entire way.

Lets stand up,  lets cross the Red Sea and realize that we have God’s love giving up a firm foundation.

Black Friday Deals

Its Black Friday, and I am up writing emails, not hitting the stores for the deals!  There is something about waiting in line outside of a store in the middle of the night, in the cold weather, waiting to go in  to shop that’s appealing, however, some of the deals out there are pretty impressive.  Of course tweets like this from WRCB show some of the madness of this day:

WRCB
NEWSROOM: Just learned Starbucks on Hamilton Place opened at 2:30 on this Black Friday morning.

Anyway, I hope no matter what shopping events you get into today, that you remember that you are of Christ, and to continue bath this Thanksgiving weekend in praise for the One who provided it all.

Psalm 63:1-8 (New International Version)

1 O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.

2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.

3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.

7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.

8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
