Honey for the Heart: Whom Have I In Heaven...

Welcome to 
...where I share different verses from the Psalms!
 May you find truths about God, yourselves, and living life in the images and word pictures shared here! 


Psalm 73:25-26

Psalms 73:21-28
When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you. Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. 

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, 
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 

Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it is good to be near God.

 I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; 
I will tell of all your deeds.

    The Psalms can be so uplifting, and a wonderful guideline to pray by. So often I fail,
    BUT God is the strength of my heart. Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you. ~Angel

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
