hi guys! There were not too many people on yesterday! Sad! Well, lets get going! There is a new pole on the side of the main page... this is to figure out what we want to do for our next reward activity... make sure you vote in the pole!

Psalm 21

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

This chapter is a great praise chapter about our King. There are several key thoughts about how great our God is... personally I love verse 2 where it says: Thou hast given Him his hearts desire... God put a desire in his heart... God has done the smae thing in my life. He has put a desire to serve Him full time in ministry! I never had the desire to do this job when I was growing up, It was only when I surrendered to the Will of God that He placed the desire to serve Him in my heart. I am so glad that He did!!! I never dreamed that I could be so happy!

Then I love verse 5 where it says: His glory is great in thy salvation!! God is glorified through our salvation!! It makes His sacrifice worth while! Have you ever done something or made something that people really did not care about? Well, think about how discouraging that can be!! When a soul dies withouth Christ, that must break Gods heart because God knows that the sins of that person were paid for, but they simply never accepted the free Gift of Salvation!!! What a shame!!

Make sure that the people you come into contact with understand the great price that Christ paid FOR THEM!!!!!
