Tap here to send us a message!True prayer aligns with God's will, seeking His purpose and glory above our own desires or ambitions. As the Psalmist expressed in Psalm 119, a heart grounded in God's Word learns to delight in His commandments and trust His plans. When we pray with this mindset, our requests become less about personal gain and more about living lives that honor and reflect His will.01/16/2025 - Thursday NightScriptures:Psalm 119:33-40Matthew 7:13Galatians 5:19-21Psalm 10:3Mark 7:21Luke 12:15Ephesians 5:3, 5Colossians 3:5I Timothy 6:9Hebrews 13:5II Peter 2:14Psalm 119:20, 43, 75 (ESV) Psalm 19:9 (ESV)Deuteronomy 4:8 (ESV)

“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” -Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Psalm 73 today. I identify with Asaph the psalmist in his petition to God about the perceived prosperity of ungodly people.  Have you ever asked “God, why do good things happen to bad people and bad things good people?” As Christ followers our greatest strength is in our surrender to God and characterization of humility.  Let's discuss the power of rooting our beliefs in God and what happens when we set our hope & focus on Christ.

Believe God is in the waitingWaiting is the worst, waiting in line, waiting for food(i get hangry), waiting in the carpool, waiting for the right timing…i'm actually terrible at waiting. I get so impatient…it's something I'm constantly working on!(I'm an impatient driver and I dont even know why…like I'm just in a hurry so I get frustrated on the road…)How many of you have been in a waiting season before? Waiting is no bueno. It's difficult. And frustrating. We are used to things fast. Fast food. Fast internet. Fast travel. A microwave culture. We live in a busy busy busy culture. If we aren't busy, then we aren't productive. If we aren't productive than we aren't fulfilling our purpose. If we aren't fulfilling our purpose we are disappointing someone. IF we are disappointing someone we….were unhappy so what do we do? We pile on more so we can feel good about our accomplishments but in reality we have so much on our plates that we cant keep most of it straight which in turn frustrates us even more….and the cycle continues. Is this just me or does anyone else feel this?There is something beautiful that happens when we can learn to wait. To stop the hurry  and just rest in Him. Allowing Him to speak and lead each moment of our day. We have to SLOW DOWN in order to learn how to properly wait. When we wait and let God do what He needs to do to get us where we need to go, in the right time, with full abandonment…he shows up. God is in the waiting…just because you are waiting doesn't mean God has abandoned you. He is still there..teaching us to rest in Him and trust in Him. Scriptures for when you are in the waiting season! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isa. 40:31).“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.” (ESV) Lamentations 3:25“Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.”(ESV) Psalm 33:20-22“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (NIV) Exodus 14:14Be strong beautiful woman of God!!

It's easy to read the Bible and forget the significance of the book we're reading. Sometimes it becomes a chore we grind through or a hobby we squeeze in. The truth is, reading the Bible gives us direct access to the voice and power of God. We get to hear how he feels about us, what he wants for our lives, what he promises, and most importantly, who he really is. To truly love God is to value and listen to his Words, just as we would in any other relationship we care about. Check out this episode of Scripture Playlist to learn about how to truly love God's Word.

Creating intentional space to quiet our souls prepares an environment that is imperative for a healthy inner life, as well as our external lives. Stillness births transformation, a process that cannot be rushed. Change takes place slowly as we surrender to our Maker's loving Grace.   SCRIPTURES Psalm 131:2 ESV Psalm 46:10 CEV John 14:8 NIV Psalm 119:114,119 The MSG Acts 17:27-28 NIV Romans 8:26-28 MSG

Message Notes: 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. — Psalm 51v3-12 (ESV) It's one thing to be saved, it's another thing to be free The Church:   Hospital  Family Army  27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire? 28 Can he walk on hot coals and not blister his feet? 29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man's wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished. 30 Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving. 31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house. 32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. – Proverbs 6v27-32 (ESV) 1 In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. 2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.” – 2 Samuel 11v1-5 (ESV) 26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord. – 2 Samuel 11v26-27 (ESV) Steps to a changed life: Repentance  Revival   Reformation Repentance is painful, but God doesn't convict people of sin to destroy them, but in order to heal them, restore them and bring them to Himself.

Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. 3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 4 In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. 5 To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. — Psalm 22v1-5 (ESV) It's impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.

Jesus was mocked 7 All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; 8 “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!” – Psalm 22v7-8 (ESV) 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. – Matthew 27v28-30 (ESV) 2. Jesus was rejected 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.[23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the Lord has made;let us rejoice and be glad in it. – Psalm 118v22-24 (ESV) REJECTION SHOULD LEAD TO REJOICING 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. – John 15v18-19 (ESV) 3.

Psalm 107:1, 8-9 says: "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever! ...Let them thank the LORD for His steadfast love, for His wondrous works to the children of man! For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things." (ESV) Psalm 107 is a congregational call to worship and give thanks. It's addressed to those sorely impacted by the Babylonian invasion, i.e. exiles. Some were refugees who'd fled to desert places. Others were POW's hauled off by their captors. But now the exiles have been returned home. This psalm's rightfully a call to thanksgiving. Even in the midst of trials, thanksgiving is in order. That's because God is a good God, ever worthy of our praise and thanksgiving. Believers down through time have chosen to give thanks in times of hardship because they hold in their hearts the promise of better days to come. The famous hymn writer, Isaac Watts wrote of this glorious future: "How astonishing will be the glory and the joy of that day when all the saints shall join together in one common song of gratitude and love, and of everlasting thankfulness to this Redeemer! With that unknown delight, and inexpressible satisfaction, shall all that are saved from the ruins of sin and hell address the Lamb that was slain, and rejoice in His presence!" Amen and Amen!

Introduction--The sermon on the mount is a sermon full of contrasts. -In the beatitudes, our Lord declared what characterizes those who inherit the kingdom of God. He then goes on to describe the differences between those people and the rest of the world.-His main emphasis is on how they are different from the Jewish religious hypocrites.-But He also declares how they are different from Gentile pagans.-What He declares is the difference between genuine righteousness and empty religion.-That difference is manifested in several categories as you walk through the sermon on the mount.-Different in their relationships with people.-Different in their acts of worship.-Different in what they deem as their treasure.-Different in what they are truly devoted to - God's people serve God not money.-And now, in verse 25, He comes to another.-God's people are different in their trust.-The world of lost humanity doesn't know God and as a result doesn't trust God.-The world is full of worry, full of care, full of fear, full of anxiety, full of self-confidence and self-reliance. It is full of self-effort, self-protection, self-trust.-Not so with God's people.-ESV Psalm 9-10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.-God's people trust our Father and look to Him as the one who takes care of us.-AS WE HAVE SEEN WITH EACH OF THE OTHER AREAS OF DISTINCTION, IT IS TRUE TO SAY THAT GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE DIFFERENT, AND AT THE SAME TIME SAY, GOD'S PEOPLE MUST BE DIFFERENT.-WE ARE COMMANDED TO BE DIFFERENT-WE ARE TAUGHT TO BE DIFFERENT-WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO BE DIFFERENT-WE MUST CHOOSE TO BE DIFFERENT.-THE TRUST THAT WE LIVE BY IS A T

Even after we have renewed our relationship with God, we are still in a process of heart work that God has designed to get us to care about the things that He cares about.Message Notes:God is a God of second chances, and He wants to transform our lives.Jonah 3:1-4 (ESV) Jonah answered the Lord's call and warned Nineveh of future consequences.Jonah 3:5-9 (ESV) The entire city believed God, repented and turned from their evil ways.God is always working. Even when we can't see it, even when we least expect it, He is working behind the scenes in every single person's life in ways we will never understand.Jonah 3:10 (ESV) Because the people of Nineveh repented, God stopped the disaster about to hit them.Jonah 4:1-3 (ESV) Jonah was upset that Nineveh repented and was saved.Jonah 4:4 (ESV) God asked Jonah if he had a right to his anger.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Hell begins with a grumbling mood, always complaining, always blaming others.... In each of us there is something growing, which will BE hell unless it is nipped in the bud.” ~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), British writer and academic “Unbelief doesn't see God as the ultimate good. So it can't see sin as the ultimate evil. It instead sees sin as a good thing and thus God's commands as a stumbling block to joy. In believing the Devil, I didn't need a pentagram pendant to wear, neither did I need to memorize a hex or two. All I had to do was trust myself more than God's Word. I had to believe that my thoughts, my affections, my rights, my wishes, were worthy of absolute obedience and that in laying prostrate before the flimsy throne I'd made for myself, that I'd be doing a good thing.” ~Jackie Hill Perry, poet, writer and hip hop artist “Our huffing and puffing to impress God, our scrambling for brownie points, our thrashing about trying to fix ourselves while hiding our pettiness and wallowing in guilt are nauseating to God and are a flat-out denial of the gospel of grace.” ~Brennan Manning (1934-2013), Franciscan priest and author “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” ~Viktor Frankl (1905-1997), psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor “Preaching should break a hard heart and heal a broken one.” ~John Newton (1725-1807), author of the hymn “Amazing Grace” “One mark of growth in grace is increased humility. The man whose soul is growing feels his own sinfulness and unworthiness more every year.” ~J.C. Ryle (1816-1900), English writer and minister “I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.” ~C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher SERMON PASSAGE selected passages (ESV) Psalm 105 1 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! 2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! 3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 1 Thessalonians 5 12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. Philippians 4 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. John 6 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.

SCRIPTURAL FOCUS: Ephesians 4:26 (ESV): Psalm 51:10 (ESV); Matthew 12:25 (NIV); There is an intrinsic pain that exists in African Americans that we do not have the ability or capacity to articulate with words to describe how we feel regarding the condition of this world and the context of "living while Black" in America to our children. There is a burden we carry for our children and the men in our lives every time they leave home that no one should ever have to take to God in prayer on a daily basis. And there is another burden that people of color, (and those that empathize with us), are carrying as we struggle to comprehend the loss of Rayshard Brooks' life or how leaders could pass laws posthumously on behalf of Breonna Taylor BEFORE they arrest those responsible for taking her precious life. That is not God's heart for us or His divine design for our lives. We must take intentional action to plan, implement and maintain change, however, we must first touch and agree and seek God's rescue and wisdom in prayer. This episode, "MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER!", is a devotional tribute to Rashard Brooks and Breonna Taylor. Host Mignon Seals wants you to know, "The Lord works righteousness for all who are oppressed" and He responds to the cries of His children; He will grant you rest for your tires souls. Listen now for strategies and encouragement to help you if you've reached the place that just makes you wanna holler. Please make sure you are taking extra steps and making extra time to to pray and create space for self-care during the critical time. If you find that your stress, anxiety or depression are becoming more than you can handle, we at Selah Vie! want to encourage you to see the support you need to keep you in a healthy emotional and spiritual space.

We want to trust in God, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Trials come, and things get in the way. But it goes even deeper than that. Find out what really keeps us from trusting God ashttps://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/dave-cover/ ( Pastor Dave Cover) discusses and prays throughhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+52&version=ESV ( Psalm 52 ESV):   1 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?     The steadfast love of God endures all the day. 2 Your tongue plots destruction,     like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit. 3 You love evil more than good,     and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah 4 You love all words that devour,     O deceitful tongue. 5 But God will break you down forever;     he will snatch and tear you from your tent;     he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah 6 The righteous shall see and fear,     and shall laugh at him, saying, 7 “See the man who would not make     God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches     and sought refuge in his own destruction!”[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+52&version=ESV#fen-ESV-14718b (b)] 8 But I am like a green olive tree     in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God     forever and ever. 9 I will thank you forever,     because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good,     in the presence of the godly.   Interested in more content like this?

My praise is continually of you. 7 I have been as a portent to many,     but you are my strong refuge. 8 My mouth is filled with your praise,     and with your glory all the day. 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;     forsake me not when my strength is spent. 10 For my enemies speak concerning me;     those who watch for my life consult together 11 and say, “God has forsaken him;     pursue and seize him,     for there is none to deliver him.” 12 O God, be not far from me;     O my God, make haste to help me! 13 May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;     with scorn and disgrace may they be covered     who seek my hurt. 14 But I will hope continually     and will praise you yet more and more. 15 My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,     of your deeds of salvation all the day,     for their number is past my knowledge. 16 With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;     I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. 17 O God, from my youth you have taught me,     and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. 18 So even to old age and gray hairs,     O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation,     your power to all those to come. 19 Your righteousness, O God,     reaches the high heavens.

Selah 9 Those of low estate are but a breath;     those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up;     they are together lighter than a breath. 10 Put no trust in extortion;     set no vain hopes on robbery;     if riches increase, set not your heart on them. 11 Once God has spoken;     twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, 12     and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.

Today's discussion and prayer is on Psalm 118. We know that Jesus immersed himself in this particular psalm because he quotes two separate verses from it on two separate occasions in the gospels (v. 22 in Matt 21:42, and v. 26 in Matt 23:39). No doubt Psalm 118 was a place Jesus spent much time in personal meditation and prayer. We should do the same.  We know that Jesus quoted from the Old Testament frequently throughout his ministry, but did you know that he referenced the Psalms more than any other book? The Psalms were integral in Jesus's prayer life. They were inspired by the Holy Spirit for our sake, to enrich our own prayer lives.  The foundational promise and call to response in this psalm is in the first verse, which is also repeated verbatim in the last verse.   Psalm 118:1 ESV “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!”   This is a must-have belief for anyone hoping to experience the reality of who God is in their life. To see our horizontal circumstances through the vertical reality of all that The I AM is for us in Christ.   Join in ashttps://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/dave-cover/ ( )https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/dave-cover/ (Pastor Dave Cover) prayers throughhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+118&version=ESV ( )https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+118&version=ESV (Psalm 118), focusing onhttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+118%3A24&version=ESV ( )https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+118%3A24&version=ESV (verse 24):   This is the day that the Lord has made;     let us rejoice and be glad in it.    We need to remind ourselves why we should have joy, love, and appreciation dominate our emotions every day.   Other verses discussed and prayed through in this episode:   Psalm 118:6–7 ESV The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The LORD is on my side as my helper.   Psalm 118:22 ESV The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.   Psalm 118:25 ESV Save us, we pray, O LORD!   Psalm 118:26 ESV Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!   Psalm 118:28–29 ESV You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you.

There are two ways to look at life: horizontally and vertically. Lots of people have a horizontal perspective, but Pastor Dave Cover challenges us to look vertically for a more joyful, fulfilling life.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Interested in more content like this?
