“THIS-rather-is the fasting that I wish........SHARING your bread with the hungry........” Isaiah 58:6-7


Isaiah ENCOURAGES us to look within ourselves and ask: WHAT do I have to offer God and others this Lent? What SHARING will grow my OWN SPIRIT as well as ENCOURAGE my neighbor?


GOD has a dream and a PLAN for our LIVES-and in the long run-it is ALL GOOD-but sometimes it involves fighting through the difficult circumstances of our own life-bad choices that we have made-and sometimes just misfortune


BUT THE GOOD NEWS is-that GOD never gives up on us-ENCOURAGES US-PROTECTS US-and walks every step of our lives with us-HE LOVES US and has a FULL DREAM for our lives


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE for us and a great day to move towards GOD'S BLESSING for us and ACCEPT THE GRACE that he bestows on us

SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME




“SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME”
Is one of my favorite movies


It is a 1987 film
Where a cop
Acting as a bodyguard
For a murder witness
Falls in love
With the woman
He is protecting


To make matters worse
The cop has a wife and a child


Wouldn’t that be great
If we had someone watching over us
Someone protecting us
Every minute of every day


But we do
OUR GOD AND OUR FATHER


So as we journey through life
When we run into trouble
Our God and Father protects us


“You are my hiding place
You will protect me from trouble
And surround me
With songs of deliverance” Psalm 32:7


Isn’t that GREAT
We travel through life daily
And we have someone watching over us
Someone ready
To DELIVER US from our troubles


All we have to do is ask
And turn out hearts back to him


“Hear the word of the Lord
Oh nations
Proclaim it in distant coastlands


He who scattered Israel
Will gather them
And WATCH OVER his flock
Like a shepherd” Jeremiah 31:10


“For the Lord WATCHES OVER
The way of the righteous
But the wicked will perish” Psalm 1:6


So we know
THE LORD WATCHES OVER US


And we know
That he not only watches over us
But he will come get us
When we become lost
On the highway of life


And he will DELIVER us


“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep
And loses one of them
Does he not leave the ninety-nine
In the open country
And go after the lost sheep
Until he finds it” Luke 15:4


And then he DELIVERS US safely home


“The righteous cry out
And the Lord hears them
He DELIVERS them
From all their troubles” Psalm 34:17


In the movie-the cop ( Tom Berenger )
Protects the beautiful woman ( Mimi Rogers )
And SAVES the day
When his own wife ( Lorraine Bracca )
And child are captured and held hostage


In the movie
Of our OWN life
Our own God
WATCHES over us, PROTECTS us
And in time of trouble
Saves us and DELIVERS us home


Our God-WHO IS LOVE
“Always protects-always trusts
-Always hopes-Always perseveres” 1 Corinthians 13:7-8


OUR GOD NEVER FAILS
