More thoughts from Tammy

The Lord helped me up this morning so I could have some quiet time with Him and to do my study in Psalm. This lesson that I am in has become my favorite and the Lord has caused me to seek and search in so many ways. I get excited each time I open the book and given an assignment!  In this lesson we were asked to read Psalm 88 again and this time each verse was written out and we were to read the verse, then in the middle column we would read or write cross references that corresponded to the psalmists words, and in the third column we were to write a prayer to God incorporating the truths from the middle column. I have done this for 3 days now and let me tell you, it has been amazing! I sat here this morning looking at each column and how I can apply this to my daily life. I thought….”Situation, Truths, and Prayer”! That would be something I could say to myself each time I find myself in a situation. As I was sitting there I said S.T.P.   Ok, here I go again with pictures of things.  I remember as a teenager when S.T.P. was a big thing they used to advertise for you to use for you car. I couldn’t really remember what all it was to do but I looked it up and it said….. It is scientifically treated petroleum, oil treatment that helped automobiles motor oil resist thinning at high temperatures and pressures.  I just smiled when I read this because my mind was saying ….. “hmmmmmm, S.T.P. Spiritually Treated, Persons.  That is us as God’s children, and when the situations that we may be in begin to heat up and the pressure is getting too much, we have a savior who has given us what we need to run properly, His spirit that He poured out to us and filled us. Nothing I can go buy, He bought it for me by His blood, and it never runs out. I just have to allow the spirit to work in me.  

Have a wonderful week!

Love,Tammy

Thoughts from Tammy

This morning I was back in my Psalm study and was reading chapter 88. When I got through reading it, I thought “Goodness this man was really down and feeling low!” I was wondering where his trust was in the Lord? I read it over several times and before long I was reminded of times in my life where I must of sounded the same to my Father. I would cry out to Him  like I was reminding Him of what was going on, like He didn’t know, and ask Him why or what are you doing?? Are you there or where are you? God wants me to go to Him and tell him how I am feeling and cry out to him in times I am troubled  but in   Psalm 77 I am reminded how Asaph  cried out to the Lord in distress, but then he began to meditate and acknowledge God for who His was and what He could do, his outlook on things began to change,  he says “But I will remember the works of the Lord;surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all your work, and talk of Your deeds. Your way , O God is in the sanctuary; who is so great a God as our God?” He continues on meditating on what the Lord has done! I find when I do the same, everything else, although it is still there or going on, it takes on a whole new look, My Master, my savior, my creator, My God, is in complete control!
