As we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom this Memorial Day, we turn to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus began His journey to purchase our eternal freedom. In part one of Blood, Sweat, and Tears, we get a beautiful picture of surrender and sacrifice as Jesus prays, “Not my will, but Thine, be done.”

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    * Psalm 42  (selected verses)   1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.   2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?   3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?   4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.   5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise HIM for the help of HIS countenance.   6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember THEE from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.   7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of THY waterspouts: all THY waves and THY billows are gone over me.   8 Yet the LORD will command HIS lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night HIS song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.   9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast THOU forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?   10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?   11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise HIM, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.   ***   Psalm 43  (selected verses)   1 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.   2 For THOU art the God of my strength: why dost THOU cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?   3 O send out THY light and THY truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto THY holy hill, and to THY tabernacles.   4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.   5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise HIM, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.    Praise God:  Thank YOU for my salvation!   ***    * Psalm 44  (selected verses)   1   We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work THOU didst in their days, in the times of old.   2 How THOU didst drive out the heathen with THY hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.   3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but THY right hand, and THINE arm, and the light of THY countenance, because THOU hadst a favour unto them.   4 THOU art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.   5 Through THEE will we push down our enemies: through THY name  (THEE WORD) will we tread them under that rise up against us.   6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.   7 But THOU hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.   8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise THY name (THE WORD) for ever.   9 But THOU hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.   10 THOU makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.   11 THOU hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.   12 THOU sellest THY people for nought, and dost not increase THY wealth by their price.   13 THOU makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.   14 THOU makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.   15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,   16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.   17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten THEE, neither have we dealt falsely in THY covenant.   18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from THY way;   19 Though THOU hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.   20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;   21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.   22 Yea, for THY sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.   23 Awake, why sleepest THOU, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.   24 Wherefore hidest THOU THY face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?   25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.   26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for THY mercies' sake.   ***   Psalm 45  (selected verses)   1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.   2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.   3 Gird thy sword upon THY thigh, O most mighty, with THY glory and THY majesty.   4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.   5 THINE arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under THEE.   6 THY throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of THY kingdom is a right sceptre.   7 THOU lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.   8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.   9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.   10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;   11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou HIM.   12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.   13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.   14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.   15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.   16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.   17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Psalm 36   1  The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.   2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.   3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.   4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.   5 THY mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and THY faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.   6 THY righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.   7 How excellent is THY lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of THY wings.   8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of THY house; and THOU shalt make them drink of the river of THY pleasures.   9 For with THEE is the fountain of life: in THY light shall we see light.   10 O continue THY lovingkindness unto them that know THEE; and THY righteousness to the upright in heart.   11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.   12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.   ***   Psalm 37   1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.   2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.   3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily THOU shalt be fed.   4 Delight thyself also in the LORD (The Word); and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.   5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in HIM; and HE shall bring it to pass.   6 And HE shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.   7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for HIM: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.   8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.   9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.   10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.   11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.   12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.   13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.   14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.   15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.   16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.   17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.   18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.   19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.   20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.   21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.   22 For such as be blessed of HIM shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of HIM shall be cut off.   23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in HIS way.   24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with HIS hand.   25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.   26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.   27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.   28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not HIS saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.   29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.   30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.   31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.   32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.   33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.   34 Wait on the LORD, and keep HIS way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.   35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.  36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.   37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.   38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.   39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: HE is their strength in the time of trouble.   40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: HE shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in HIM.   ***   Psalm 38    1  O LORD, rebuke me not in THY wrath: neither chasten me in THY hot displeasure.   2 For THINE arrows stick fast in me, and THY hand presseth me sore.   3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of THINE anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.   4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.   5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.   6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.   7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.   8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.   9 Lord, all my desire is before THEE; and my groaning is not hid from THEE.   10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.   11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.   12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.   13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.   14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.   15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: THOU wilt hear, O Lord my God.   16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.   17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.   18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.   19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.   20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.   21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.   22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.   ***   Psalm 39    1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.   2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.   3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,   4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.   5 Behold, THOU hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.   6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.   7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in THEE.   8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.   9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because THOU didst it.   10 Remove THY stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of THINE hand.   11 When THOU with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, THOU makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity.   12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not THY peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.   13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.   ***   Psalm 40   1  I waited patiently for the LORD; and HE inclined unto me, and heard my cry.   2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.   3 And HE hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.   4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.   5 Many, O LORD my God, are THY wonderful works which THOU hast done, and THY thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto THEE: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.   6 Sacrifice and offering THOU didst not desire; mine ears hast THOU opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast THOU not required.   7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,   8 I delight to do THY will, O my God: yea, THY law is within my heart.   9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, THOU knowest.   10 I have not hid THY righteousness within my heart; I have declared THY faithfulness and THY salvation: I have not concealed THY lovingkindness and THY truth from the great congregation.   11 Withhold not THOU THY tender mercies from me, O LORD: let THY lovingkindness and THY truth continually preserve me.   12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.   13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.   14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.   15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.   16 Let all those that seek THEE rejoice and be glad in THEE: let such as love THY salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.   17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: THOU art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.   

73 : Psalms 45 1. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. ; AB church Lausanne

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Psalm 30 (selected verses)   1 I will extol thee, O Lord; for THOU hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.   2 O Lord my God, I cried unto THEE, and THOU hast healed me.   3 O Lord, THOU hast brought up my soul from the grave: THOU hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.   4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of HIS (the elect of God), and give thanks at the remembrance of HIS holiness.   5 For HIS anger endureth but a moment; in HIS favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.   6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.   7 Lord, by THY favour THOU hast made my mountain to stand strong: THOU didst hide THY face, and I was troubled.   8 I cried to THEE, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.   9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise THEE? shall it declare THY truth?   10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be THOU my helper.   11 THOU hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: THOU hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;   12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to THEE, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto THEE for ever.   ***   Psalm 31  (selected verses)   1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in THY righteousness.   2 Bow down THINE ear to me; deliver me speedily: be THOU my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.   3 For THOU art my rock and my fortress; therefore for THY name's sake lead me, and guide me.   4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for THOU art my strength.   5 Into THINE hand I commit my spirit: THOU hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.   6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.   7 I will be glad and rejoice in THY mercy: for THOU hast considered my trouble; THOU hast known my soul in adversities;   8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: THOU hast set my feet in a large room. ***   9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.   10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.   11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.   12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.   13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.   14 But I trusted in THEE, O LORD: I said, THOU art my God.   15 My times are in THY hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.   16 Make THY face to shine upon THY servant: save me for THY mercies' sake.   17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon THEE: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.   18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.   19 Oh how great is THY goodness, which THOU hast laid up for them that fear THEE; which THOU hast wrought for them that trust in THEE before the sons of men!   20 THOU shalt hide them in the secret of THY presence from the pride of man: THOU shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.   21 Blessed be the LORD: for HE hath shewed me HIS marvellous kindness in a strong city.   22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before THINE eyes: nevertheless thouTHOU heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto THEE.   23 O love the LORD, all ye HIS saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.   24 Be of good courage, and HE shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.   ***   Psalm 32  (selected verses)   1 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.   2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.   3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.   4 For day and night THY hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer.   5 I acknowledged my sin unto THEE, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and THOU forgavest the iniquity of my sin.   6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when THOU mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.   7 THOU art my hiding place; THOU shalt preserve me from trouble; THOU shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.   8 (God says) I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with MINE eye.   9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.   10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.   11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.   ***   Psalm 33  (selected verses)   1  Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.   2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto HIM with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.   3 Sing unto HIM a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.   4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all HIS works are done in truth.   5 HE loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.   6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of HIS mouth.   7 HE gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: HE layeth up the depth in storehouses.   8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of HIM.   9 For HE spake, and it was done; HE commanded, and it stood fast.   10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: HE maketh the devices of the people of none effect.   11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of HIS heart to all generations.   12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom HE hath chosen for HIS own inheritance.   13 The LORD looketh from heaven; HE beholdeth all the sons of men.   14 From the place of HIS habitation HE looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.   15 HE fashioneth their hearts alike; HE considereth all their works.   16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.   17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.   18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear HIM, upon them that hope in HIS mercy;   19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.   20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: HE is our help and our shield.   21 For our heart shall rejoice in HIM, because we have trusted in HIS holy name. (the Word)   22 Let THY mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in THEE.   ***   Psalm 34  (selected verses)   1  I will bless the LORD at all times: HIS praise shall continually be in my mouth.   2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD (THE WORD): the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.   3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt HIS name (The Word) together.   4 I sought the LORD, and HE heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.   5 They looked unto HIM, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.   6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.   7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear HIM, and delivereth them.   8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in HIM.   9 O fear the LORD, ye HIS saints: for there is no want to them that fear HIM.   10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.   11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.   12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?   13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.   14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.   15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and HIS ears are open unto their cry.   16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.   17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.   18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.   19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.   20 HE keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.   21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.   22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of HIS servants: and none of them that trust in HIM shall be desolate.   ***   Psalm 35  (selected verses)   1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.   2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.   3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.   4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.   5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.   6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.   7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.   8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.   9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD (THE WORD): it shall rejoice in HIS salvation.   10 All my bones shall say, LORD, WHO is like unto THEE, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?   11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.   12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.   13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.   14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.   15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:   16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.   17 Lord, how long wilt THOU look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.   18 I will give THEE thanks in the great congregation: I will praise THEE among much people.   19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.   20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.   21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.   22 This THOU hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.   23 Stir up THYSELF, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.   24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to THY righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.   25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.   26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.   27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of HIS servant.   28 And my tongue shall speak of THY righteousness and of THY praise all the day long.

HIM shall HE teach in the way that he shall choose.   13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.   14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear HIM; and HE will shew them HIS covenant.   15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD (TOWARD THE WORD); for HE shall pluck my feet out of the net.   16 Turn THEE unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.   17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring THOU me out of my distresses.   18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.   19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.   20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in THEE.   21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.   22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.   ***   Psalm 26  (selected verses)   1   Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD (THE WORD); therefore I shall not slide.   2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.   3 For THY lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in THY truth.   4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.   5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.   6 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass THINE altar, O LORD:   7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all THY wondrous works.   8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of THY house, and the place where THINE honour dwelleth.   9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:   10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.   11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.   12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.   ***   Psalms 27  (selected verses)   1  The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Psalms 21 (selected verses)   1 The king (DAVID) shall joy in THY strength, O LORD; and in THY salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!   2 THOU hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.   3 For THOU preventest him with the blessings of goodness: THOU settest a crown of pure gold on his head.   4 He asked life of THEE, and THOU gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.   5 His glory is great in THY salvation: honour and majesty hast THOU laid upon him.   6 For THOU hast made him most blessed for ever: THOU hast made him exceeding glad with THY countenance.   7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.   8 Thine hand shall find out all THINE enemies: THY right hand shall find out those that hate THEE.   9 THOU shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of THINE anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in HIS wrath, and the fire shall devour them.   10 Their fruit shalt THOU destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.   11 For they intended evil against THEE: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.   12 Therefore shalt THOU make them turn their back, when THOU shalt make ready thine arrows upon THY strings against the face of them.   13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in THINE own strength: so will we sing and praise THY power.   ***    Psalm 22  (selected verses)   1  My God, my God, why hast THOU forsaken me? why art THOU so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?   2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but THOU hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.   3 But THOU art holy, O THOU that inhabitest the praises of Israel.   4 Our fathers trusted in THEE: they trusted, and THOU didst deliver them.   5 They cried unto THEE, and were delivered: they trusted in THEE, and were not confounded.   6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.   (Jesus was despised of the people, especially despised of the religious rulers who killed HIM for envy.)   7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,  8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.   9 But THOU art HE that took me out of the womb: THOU didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.   10 I was cast upon THEE from the womb: THOU art my God from my mother's belly.   11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.   12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.   13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.   14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.   15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and THOU hast brought me into the dust of death.   16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.   17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.   18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.   19 But be not THOU far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste THEE to help me.   20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.   21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for THOU hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.   22 I will declare THY name (THE WORD) unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise THEE.   23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise HIM; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify HIM; and fear HIM, all ye the seed of Israel.   24 For HE hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath HE hid HIS face from him; but when he cried unto HIM, he heard.   25 My praise shall be of THEE (THE WORD) in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear HIM.   26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD (THE WORD) that seek HIM: your heart shall live for ever.   27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD (THE WORD): and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before THEE.   28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and HE is the governor among the nations.   29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before HIM: and none can keep alive his own soul.   30 A seed shall serve HIM; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.   31 They shall come, and shall declare HIS righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that HE hath done this.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 73 - Thine is the Glory, Risen, Conqu'ring Son - 1 Corinthians 15:1-8: Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time. - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 359 - Worthy is Christ, the Lamb Who Was Slain - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Rev.

Your Nightly Prayer

Thestory of the prodigal son is probably one of the most read and liked stories inthe Bible. We can relate to it in some way! Either we have strayed ourselves,or someone in our family that is dear to our hearts has wandered far away fromGod. This parable, told by Jesus, is about a young man who demands hisinheritance, leaves his father's house, and squanders everything in recklessliving. By verses 14-19, he's hit rock bottom—broke, alone, and feeding pigs, adegrading job for a Jewish man. Yet, in this low moment, something shifts. He“comes to himself” and resolves to return to his father, not as a son, butas a humble servant. This is a story of sin's consequences, repentance, and thehope of restoration. Theprodigal's journey shows us the deceptive nature of sin. Interestingly, he lefthome, like many young people, thinking they are looking for themselves, but inthe process they in reality lose themselves. He thought leaving his father'shouse would bring freedom, wealth, and joy. Instead, it led to slavery,poverty, and despair. Sin promises much but delivers little. It lures us withthe illusion of control and happiness, only to leave us empty, like theprodigal longing for pig food. This passage reminds us that a life apart fromGod is a “far country”—a place of spiritual famine where nothing trulysatisfies. The prodigal's hunger wasn't just physical; it was a soul-deeplonging for meaning, love, and home. Yet,this low point becomes a turning point. His suffering wakes him up. Heremembers his father's goodness, and how even the hired servants have bread tospare. This contrast between his misery and his father's generosity sparks achange. It's a powerful reminder that God often uses our struggles to draw usback to Him. The prodigal's pain helped him see his father in a new light,stirring hope that maybe, just maybe, he could return. Didyou notice the phrase “he came to himself”. It suggests he'd beenliving as someone else, lost in sin's madness. Repentance begins with thisawakening—a moment of clarity where we see our true condition and God's betterway. The prodigal didn't just feel sorry; he acted. He resolved to arise, go tohis father, confess his sin, and humbly seek a place in the household. Truerepentance involves the mind, heart, and will: recognizing our sin, feelingsorrow for it, and choosing to turn back to God. Thispassage challenges us to “arise and go” and examine our ownlives. Are we in a “far country,” chasing things that promise happiness butleave us empty? Maybe it's a habit, a mindset, or a pursuit that's pulling usfrom God. Like the prodigal, we need to “come to ourselves.” What's onearea where you've wandered? What's keeping you from returning to the Father'shouse, where there's bread enough and to spare? God's grace is waiting, but itrequires us to humble ourselves, admit our sin, and arise and act. I'llnever forget the old invitational hymn we used to sing in our churches, “Lord,I'm Coming Home”. I've wandered far away from God, Now I'm coming home; Thepaths of sin too long I've trod, Lord, I'm coming home. I've wasted manyprecious years, Now I'm coming home; I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I'mcoming home. I'm tired of sin and straying, Lord, Now I'm coming home; I'lltrust Thy love, believe Thy word, Lord, I'm coming home. Coming home, cominghome, Nevermore to roam, Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home. Prayer: Heavenly Father, thankYou for Your relentless love that calls us home, even when we've wandered far.Open our eyes to see where we've strayed and give us the courage to arise andreturn to You. Forgive us for chasing empty things, and fill us with Your graceand truth. Help us take one step toward You today, trusting in Your goodness.In Jesus' name, Amen.

We are wrapping up our series based on the Lord's Prayer for this season of Lent. We have been focusing on these familiar words that most of us have recited by heart for many years. We are taking this season to see how this sacred text unifies us to one another as well as generations before and after us. We hope through this teaching that we can all recite the words with a fresh inspiration and meaning.  Today, God helps us understand where true power resides through the humility of his son. How can we tap into God's power in weakness?  Passage: 1 Chronicles 29: 10-13; Luke 19:28-40 Find out all the ways to get involved specifically during Lent at Point Loma Church We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

Listen today to God's response to Job's challenge, demanding an answer.We will hear God asking Job these questions three:Where were you when I created the universe? Job 38How do I sustain the universe? Job 39If you cannot contend with my creation, how will you contend with me? Job 41Job's humility.:"Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 2 "I know that Thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted. 3 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." 4 'Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask Thee, and do Thou instruct me.' 5 "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees Thee; 6 Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes."Job 42:1-6Job did not storm in like a prince, and his being humbled in the presence of Almighty God reminds us, as God's treasured people, why our Savior began His ministry with these words::"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.5 "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."Matthew 5:3-9Brethren, let's pray for one another."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

“I am a stranger with thee.” — Psalm 39:12 Yes, O Lord, with Thee, but not to Thee. All my natural alienation from Thee, Thy grace has effectually removed; and now, in fellowship with Thyself, I walk through this sinful world as a pilgrim in a foreign country. Thou art a stranger in Thine own […]

(1 John 4:4) There are three angels called by name and two "orders" of angels identified in Scripture. Lucifer led a number of angels to rebel against the Lord and these fallen angels now operate as enemies of God. In today's study we see what the Bible says about each of them and about the God who is above all.  (0950250225) ----more----   Angels and Demons in the Bible Can you tell me the name of any angel? Specifically the name. There actually are only three that are given to us in all of Scripture. Now, why is that so important? We've been studying the fact that angels are God's messengers and that they are not to be worshipped. In fact, they would be the first to tell you worship God only. It's not their name that's important, it's the name that is above every name, the name of Jesus Christ. And we don't want to go beyond what the Bible says when it comes to angels. Now today, we're discussing not only angels, but demons and the devil. Why is that? Because demons and the devil himself, who leads that demonic host, they are simply fallen angels. They are created beings who were given certain power and gifts and then rebelled against God and are now using those against their creator.  Exploring the Three Named Angels Who are the three angels that were named specifically? Michael is named. He is the archangel. We find him in Daniel chapter 10 and verse number 21 and we find him in Jude, we find him in the revelation of Jesus Christ. The name Michael means who is like God. Isn't that beautiful? For In other words, even the archangel, the highest angel says, I want you to know there's no one like God. There's no one like our creator. Then there's Gabriel. Gabriel's mentioned in Daniel chapter 9 and of course famously known in Luke chapter 1 as the angel that announces the birth of Messiah. And Gabriel's name means the mighty one. Now, these angels are mighty because they were created by the almighty God. And then the third angel given by name in scripture is Lucifer, son of the morning. You can read about him in Isaiah chapter 14, what a description of him. His name means he who is the light of God. Now, hear that carefully because you want to remember that Lucifer becomes Satan, becomes the devil, and plunges into sin. He brings the whole world into darkness. He is the chief of the darkness. And yet his name originally was one who reflected the light of God. If you reject light, you enter into darkness. And Satan is the classic example of that.  Orders of Angels: Seraphim and Cherubim If there are three angels given by name, there are two orders of angels given to us in Scripture. There may be more than this. Scripture talks about the principalities and the powers and We honestly don't know all the orders of angels and all the things going on in the spirit realm, but we know these two groups of angels. There are the seraphim, the seraphs, and there are the cherubim. The seraphim you find in Isaiah chapter 6, in Isaiah's vision of God, His holiness. And what are they doing? They're just worshiping the Lord. They seem to be leaders in praise. People that are just created, or beings rather that are created to do one thing, and that is to give glory to the God who's worthy of all glory. The cherubims, or the cherubs, you find in Genesis chapter 3, and again in Ezekiel chapter 1, and they are always connected to the glory of God. Both of these orders of angels, the seraphim and the cherubim, are always in some way connected to God's throne. You find them Very near to the Lord.  The Fall of Lucifer: From Light to Darkness Now we shift from thinking simply about angels, to talking about the devil and demons. Why? Because the devil was a created being. In fact, he was a chief angel. Listen to the words, the description given to us of Satan, Lucifer, originally in Ezekiel chapter number 28, beginning in verse 13. God says, "Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering, the sardis, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle in gold, the workmanship of the tablets of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, and I have set thee thou wast upon the holy mountain of God. Thou wast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created till iniquity was found in thee. By the merchandise of thy, by the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence. And thou hast sinned. Therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God, and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire." What was his chief sin? Ezekiel 28:17 tells us, "Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty. Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness. I will cast thee to the ground. I will lay thee before kings." I might go so far as to say that the root sin of all sin is pride, thinking that we know better than God or that we deserve more than God. What do we learn? We learn that Satan was a real person with intelligence and emotion and will and moral responsibility. He was a created being, the highest created angel. He belonged to the order of the cherubim as best we can tell from Ezekiel 28. But he sinned against God by lifting up himself above the Lord. And he became God's adversary. In fact, if you're wondering where the name Satan came from, the name Satan literally means adversary. And he is the Lord's adversary. You think he's your enemy? No, He's only your enemy because he's God's enemy. He hates man because man is God's chief creation, the one capable of fellowship with him. Do you know why the devil wants you? He doesn't want you because you're that important. He wants you because you're that important to God. And he knows if he can get at you, he can grieve the heart of a God who loved you so much, he gave his own son for your soul.  The Rebellion of Fallen Angels Satan led quite a rebellion of fallen angels against the Lord. You can read more about these fallen angels in Revelation chapter number 12, but basically they decided they were going to follow Lucifer instead of the Lord. That, my friends, was a very bad decision. We refer to these fallen angels typically as devils, plural, or as demons. And you find them all through scripture. You see them in the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, rearing their ugly head up against Messiah. Because everything God ordains, Satan opposes. The Apostle Paul refers to them, and there are many of them. You remember, Mark chapter 5, Jesus cast Satan out. A demon or demons out of a man, and that demon's name was Legion. In the Roman Army, there were 6,000 people in a legion, so there were a lot of demons possessing that man. And they can possess lost men and they can oppress believers there, fears and violence. All this violence we see going on around us today. What is that? It's the work of the devil and his minions, the hounds of hell, stirring it up because they know that their time is short.  The Power of Christ Over Demons And I want to remind you today as we talk about angels and the devil and demons, I just want to remind you that none of them are as powerful as our Christ. God is greater. Their power is limited in scope and praise God it's limited in time. You should take them seriously, but not be afraid of them. I'm thinking now of the words of the prophet to his servant in 2 Kings  6:16, when the enemy came against them. And he said, "They that be with us are more than they that be with them." At that moment, the young man's eyes were open, and he saw the angels of God, the armies of heaven on the mountains round about. I want to say to God's people today, if you know the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, The devil may be strong and the demons may be at work but they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And I'm not just referring to angels, I'm referring to a greater than the angels. Someone better than the angels. Christ is with us. We can't see him in the flesh but we have him and we have another comforter, the Holy Spirit of God. Who abides with us. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. I end today the same way we ended our last episode, reminding you that though you should believe in angels and believe that there's a devil and believe that there are demons, you should trust the Lord alone. Because God is able to rule the good and overrule the evil. That, my friends, is what the Bible says. Outro and Resources Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough.
