A Prayer for Help

Oppose those who oppose me, Lord And fight those who fight against me Take your shield and armour And come to my rescue Lift up your spear and your axe Against those who pursue me Promise that you will save me May those who try to kill me be defeated and disgraced May those who plot against me be turned back and confused May they be like straw blown by the winf As the angel of the Lord pursues them May their path be dark and slippery While the angel of the Lord strikes them down Without any reason they laid a trap for me And dug a deep hole to catch me But destruction will catch them before they know it They will be caught in their own trap And fall to their destruction Then I will be glad because of the Lord I will be happy because He saved me With all my heart I will say to the Lord ''There is none like you. You protect the weak from the strong, The poor from the oppressor'' --------------------Psalms 35:1-10------------------
What do you think of the dirty and homeless people you see on the streets? Do you keep a distance when you see them? What opinions do you have of them? Consider that some of them are mentally retarded or 'insane'. Do you think they could ever recover from their situation and become like normal people? Consider this: Yesterday at night I was sitting in a bus heading home from work. At a stop before where I alight, a person boards the bus. I'm still not sure whether the person was a man or female; but let's assume she was a woman. She was dirty and smelly. She lingered for some seconds near me and she smelt of human excreta. She brushed herself on my arms so that even my shirt smelt the same. She stood next to my seat facing the front of the bus with her left arm on the seat opposite mine. I think she was afraid of sitting on the clean seats that apparently the 'clean and sane' passengers seat on. I saw fear in her eyes. Her lips were dry and cracked and between

Our Obedience to God

How often do you go against God by failing to follow his commands and teachings? Have you ever asked for forgiveness? If so, do you live a good Christian life free from immorality after confession or do you continue to live a non-Christian life? God gave us the gift of life and wants us to obey and love Him. He requires us to keep His laws and refrain from all evil so that we can have a good relationship with Him. -               Lev 20:7-8            “ Keep yourselves holy, because I am the Lord your God. Obey my laws, because I am the Lord and I make you holy.” God promises to bless and protect us if we live according to His laws. He is the only one to be worshipped and must always come first place in our lives. We should not put idols such as money, pleasure, wealth and fame before Him. He is a majestic and jealous God. -           Lev 26:3-12           Deut 7:12-26, 28:1-14 God promises to provide us with enough to eat and drink. He will bless the wo

I Long for You my God

O God, you are my God, and I long for you My whole being desires you, Like a dry, worn-out and waterless land My soul is thirsty for you. Let me see you in the sanctuary Let me see how mighty and glorious you are. Your constant love is better than life itself And so I will praise you. I will give you thanks as long as I live I will raise my hands to you in prayer My soul will feast and be satisfied And I will sing glad songs of praise to you. As I lie in bed, I remember you All night long I think of you Because you have always been my help In the shadow of your wings I sing for joy I cling to you, and your hands keep me safe --------Psalms 63-------

Spread the Gospel to the entire world

Hi. Welcome to Bible scriptures blog. I want to share Christian teachings with everyone. We are all called by God to spread His gospel throughout the entire world. We have been given the responsibility of taking care of our brothers and sisters in faith and strengthening them in their times of sorrow. Let us spread God's word and share our knowledge even with the non-Christians.
