MY SALVATION IS ABOUT HIM
For my own sake and for the honor of my name I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out.
I refined you in the furnace of affliction, but found no silver there. You are worthless, with nothing
good in you at all. Yet for my own sake -yes," FOR MY OWN SAKE "-I will save you from my anger and
not destroy you least the heathen say their gods have conquered me. I will not let them have my glory
( Isaiah 48:9-11 TLB).
YOUR SALVATION
SHOWCASES GOD'S
MERCY. It MAKES
NOTHING OF
YOUR EFFORT BUT
EVERYTHING OF HIS.

"LOVE AND GIVING
" Love and Giving' are two words that are synonymous.
It's in Spirit of giving that the secret to joy lies."

EVENING PRAYER
THE PSALM
PSALM 4
Evening Prayer
God, guardian of my rights, you answer when I call,
when I am in trouble, you comer to my relief;
now be good to me and hear my prayer.
You men, why shut your hearts so long,
loving delusions, chasing after lies.
Know this, Yahweh works wonders for those he loves,
Yahweh hears me when I call to him.
Tremble: give up sinning,
spend your night in quite meditation.
Offer sacrifice in a right spirit, and trust Yahweh.
' Who will give us sight of happiness ?' many say.
Show us the light of your face, turned towards us.
Yahweh you have given more joy to my heart
then others ever knew, for their corn and wine.
In peace I lie down, and fall asleep at once,
since you along, Yahweh, make me rest secure.
Trust and thanks: God is the one source of happiness.
We should shrink from offending God and pray to him in the calm silence of adoration.
spend ...meditation' speak in your hearts on your bed and be silent

Bumping Life Off Self - Center
WHAT COPERNICUS-(SCIENTIST)
DID FOR THE EARTH,
GOD DOES FOR
OUR SOULS.
When God looks at the universe, he doesn't look at you. When heaven's stagehands direct the spot light
toward the star of the show, I need no sunglasses. No light falls on me.
Lesser orbs, that's us. Appreciated. Valued. Loved dearly. But central? Essential? Pivotal?
Nope sorry.Contrary to the Ptolemy within us, the world does not revolve around us.
Our comfort is not God's priority. If it is something's gone awry. If we are the marquee event, how do
we explain flat-earth challenges like death, disease, slumping economies, rumbling earthquakes? If God
exists to please us then shouldn't we always be pleased? Copernican shift be in order?Perhaps our place is
not at the center of the universe.God does not exist to make a big deal out of him. It's not about you. It's not
about me. It's all about him. (from the Book IT'S NOT ABOUT ME) Max Lucado
The enemies that rise against you Yahweh will conquer fort your sake; They will come at you by one way and flee before you by seven. Yahweh will summon
a blessing for you in your barns and in all your undertakings, and will bless you in the land that Yahweh is giving you. Yahweh will make you a people consecrated to himself as he has sworn to you. If you keep the commandments of Yahweh you God and follow his ways. All the peoples of the earth will see
that you bear the name Yahweh and will go in fear of you. Yahweh will give you great store of good things, the fruit of your body, the fruit of your cattle and
the produce of you soil, in the land he swore to your fathers he would give you. Yahweh will open the heavens to you, his rich treasure house , to give you
seasonable rain for you land and to bless all the work of your hands. You will make many nations your subjects, yet you will be subject to none. Yahweh will
put you at the head, not at the tail; You will always be on top and never underneath, if you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God that I enjoin on you
today, keeping and observing them, not swerving to right or left from any of the works I enjoin on you today by following any other gods and serving them.
( from THE JERUSALEM BIBLE )

THE PSALMS 5
PSALMS 5
MORNING PRAYER
Yahweh, let my words come to your ears.
spare a thought for my sighs.
Listen to my cry for help.
my king and my God !
I say this prayer to you , Yahweh,
for at daybreak you listen for my voice;
and at dawn I hold myself in readiness" for you,
I watch for you.
You are not a God who is pleased with wickedness,
you have no room for the wicked;
boaster collapse
under your scrutiny.
You hate all evil men,
liars you destroy;
murderers and frauds
Yahweh detests.
But I, so great is your love,
may come to your house,
and before your holy Temple bow down
in reverence to you.
Yahweh, lead me in the path of your righteousness,
for there are men lying in wait for me;
make your way plain before me.
Not a word from their lips can be trusted,
deep within them lies ruin,
their throats are yawning graves;
they make their tongues so sweet !
Pronounce them guilty, God,
make their intrigues their own downfall !
Hound them for their countless crimes,
since they have rebelled against you.
But joy for all who take shelter in you,
endless shouts of joy !
Since you protect them, they exult in you,
those who love your name.
It is you who bless the virtuous man, Yahweh;
your favour is like a shield covering him.
