Song of Confidence (Psalm 27)

Posted on February 26, 2023 by 66assuranceway

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh— my adversaries and foes—
they shall stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.

One thing I asked of the Lord; this I seek: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will set me high on a rock.

Now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent
sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.

Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!

Psalm 27: 1 – 7 NRSV

Christians: Choose the Narrow Gate (Matthew 7)

Posted on January 1, 2023 by 66assuranceway

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7: 13-14 NRSV

“He’ll Work It Out” / The Tommies Reunion

Video

The Tommie’s Reunion singing “He’ll Work It Out” (Live)

He will work it out. He’ll work it out! God will work it out.

This choir is phenomenal! I’ve seen a lot of gospel videos in the last nine years . . . this is one of the best. In their voices and attire, and the powerful words of the song, this well-recorded video gets an A+. As I listened closely, each time I viewed this video different Bible verses came to mind. When the words of a song make you think about the word of God that’s a good sign I’d say. “He’ll Work It Out” does this extremely well. To God be the glory!
Please prayer for those who were in the path of Hurricane Ian. With family in Florida, I can thank God that my relatives fared fairly well. I called several of my Prayer Buddies Wednesday night. God still answers prayer. As this song alludes to, ‘I had a situation that I couldn’t fix on my own’ and I turned it over to Jesus. He worked it out. He worked it out.
