Hi everyone!

Getting ready to have Fenori's girls and baby boy for the weekend! Very exciting! She can use a break! Fessers had a problem with a spiking fever and a seizure. Deuce knew to go and pray right away! She's doing well now, thank you Lord Jesus!

T.L. is in Israel and having a great time. His battery in his cell phone ran out so we won't hear from him for a few days, but he is doing fine. We're going to see J.A., Bean & Bug in a couple of days to go out for supper and keep them company, although they are used to T.L. being gone. He was so busy leading up to his graduation that they didn't see much of him at all. They're really looking forward to having him home after his trip.

I wanted to share another of the Psalms our Pastor has been teaching on in his Praise series:

Ps 112:1-10
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.(KJV)

These Psalms (111, 112, 113) are Psalms of prosperity! God does want His people prosperous (meaning being in control in your life, not under the control of others!). This Psalm says that the person who fears (reveres & worships) the Lord and delights in (keeps, obeys) His commandments will be blessed and have wealth and riches in his house. In referring to the upright and the righteous, we know that we have been made the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ:

2 Cor 5:2121 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.(KJV)

We have right-standing with the God of the Bible because of what Jesus has done for us. We have the right to stand in His presence as if we've never done anything wrong and to become all that He has planned for us to be! How awesome and humbling and precious! I am who God says I am, whether I look like it to you or not! That's how He sees me and that's good enough for me!

Have a very blessed day!
