Noise..So much noise.  With the constant of technology and socials and just pressures of the world we are on high alert all the time.  It can be so hard not to be overwhelmed by the noise of the world.  But the Psalmist reminds us to sing a new song.  That new song is one of reflection on what God has done in his faithfulness to us.  His love has endured and we can take refuge in him and find the quiet places and reflect on what he has done and sing that new song!

The world cannot fulfill a void that is meant for God to fill.  Today we reflect on a mama's desire to try and be everything to her children, the guilt that can come when that idea leads to failure and the realization that the voids in your child's life are not for you to fill, but for God to fill.  

Listen and be encouraged, you don't have to be everything for everyone. God has purpose in the void so that we will seek Him to fill it.

In light of Thanksgiving this meditation focuses on reconciliation and restoration first and foremost the reconciliation and restored relationship we have with our heavenly father because of what Jesus suffered for us so that we may know God and then the pursuit of restored relationships with those in our lives in this world.  

My hope is that you are encouraged to take the broken relationships in your life to God's feet and let Him lead you to forgiveness and even reconciliation.  I hope you are refreshed by this message and meditation in the Word.

Walking through the seasons of life we find that some are easier to be grateful in than others.  Psalm 118:24 says today is the day the Lord has made.  Let us be glad and rejoice in it.  

As a member of the wedding industry we see some stressful brides and bride mamas.  It can be hard in those moments to find the opportunities to rejoice and show gratitude.  But when we show gratitude we are choosing triumph and victory in Jesus instead of defeat and overwhelm by the stress.  

Enjoy the episode and the reminder to choose to be grateful and rejoice in each day because it is the day the Lord has made and it is a gift to you.

Psalm 119:1 tells us "blessed are those who walk according to the law of the Lord.  Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart."    
Seeking with a whole heart means we move past just reading the word and we aim to meditate on it.  Allowing it to seep into our being.  Romans 12:1-2 tells us to not conform to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  When we meditate on the word we reflect, we seek God and his will and how he would work the scripture out in our hearts. We seek to know Him and then how He would have us walk out what we read in scripture.  
This week we study through Psalm 119 and we hear how the psalmist encourages the reader to be in the word, to study it, to meditate on it and know the one who gave it to us, our good God.    

I would encourage you to read the scripture before you jump into listening to the teaching!

Have you ever had a day or maybe even days when you felt like you had a million things to do but you just couldn't focus in on one thing and you just feel like you're spinning your wheels?  I have the solution.  No, really!   Think opposite.  Instead of charging forward what if you stopped.  What if you sought the Lord.  You took a minute to open the Word and be in His presence.  

Luke 6:45 says that out of the good treasure of a man's heart comes good.  The only way to have good treasure stored up in your heart is to first seek the Lord and His word.  

Enjoy the meditation on Psalms 101 and Luke 6.  I encourage you to open your Bible and read these chapters first then dive into some scripture soak time with me.

This week we are in Psalm 37, 49, 112, 127-128 & 133.  

Sometimes we think the world is divided into two different groups and that may be true...but we tend to fall into the division of good and bad...but neither of those are very definitive.   The Bible tells us the meek shall inherit the earth.  The evil doers will be castaway.  What does that really mean?  

This week we explore who are the meek and who are the evil doers.  What does it really boil down to?  

Are you serving God or are you serving yourself, that's the boiled down question.  

Dive into the Psalms with Ang this week and be encouraged to seek God's righteousness and lea a life that chases His will and is obedient to His call.

James 4:7 says, " Submit yourselves to God.  Resist the devil and he shall flee from you.  

Today I had a great conversation about the difference between obedience and surrender.  Obedience is the act of complying to a command or directive.  Surrender is the heart of giving over full control.  

I had to take a look at my heart in this and examine the areas in my life where I was maybe being obedient but not fully surrendering my heart to a posture of denying myself and picking up my cross and following Jesus, fully surrendered to God's will for my life. 

Sometimes, we can all get comfortable and we can walk through the motions and we may be obedient, but is our heart in a state of complete surrender to God's will?  

Today, I hope you will take a journey with me to seek out the areas in your life that need to be relinquished completely to God, surrendered fully to His will.

Psalm 70:4 tells us that all who love God and His salvation are to magnify God.  In our pain, in our celebration, in our grief and in our joy we are to magnify God.  

In this teaching we review Psalm chapters 13, 35, 70 & 140.  These chapters are David dealing with hurt.  We get to see his process of being wronged, being attacked, being lied about and being betrayed.  He hurts out loud and then, in each Psalm, he magnifies God.  

What do we magnify when we are hurt, betrayed, lied about or just wronged overall.  Do we magnify our hurt or do we magnify God...it is our choice, so choose wisely as David shows us in these Psalms. 

I hope you enjoy the teaching, I present these teachings each Monday at our local Community Bible Study in Gillette Wyoming.  If you enjoy these teachings I would encourage you to find a Community Bible Study near you.  You can join an in person group or a connect group online. Community Bible Study is a 5 fold ministry.  We enjoy independent study of one or multiple books of the Bible at a time, we come together weekly to engage in community and discuss the study questions and our answers, we hear a short teaching from the teaching director in each class and we follow up the day after our gather day with reading the thoughtful commentary put together by studied theologians on the scriptures we studied for the week.  

You can find a class for yourself at http://www.communitybiblestudy.org
