ByDr. Mark July 6, 2026 2 Comments
“Praise the Lord! Blessed is a person who fears the Lord,Who greatly delights in His commandments.” (Psalm 112:1 NASB) Close to a year ago, shortly before I retired as Senior Pastor at a local church, where I had labored since it’s finding in 1990, I preached from 2 Samuel 22. One of the three major points I made, making it personal for each one of us receiving the...

“Praise the Lord! Blessed is a person who fears the Lord,Who greatly delights in His commandments.” (Psalm 112:1 NASB) Sunday, as I preached from 2 Samuel 22, one of the three major points I made, making it personal for each one of us receiving the specific message sent by the Lord was, “The Lord will bless me, for I will give Him reason to do so!”  As a supplement for those...

A FEW PROFOUND WORDS ON BEING FULLY BLESSED

ByDr. Mark March 19, 2025 0 Comments
When someone asks you, “How are doing today,” realizing you were just blessed to see another day, you just might answer, “Blessed by the best.” That’s absolutely true, but I have a question for you to answer. Will you be able to say, “I’m fully blessed?” If you are, then I am sure you would be able to place a checkmark by a few words on being blessed, spoken by Jesus. Here are...

BLESSED!

“Gray hair is a mark of distinction, the award for a God-loyal life.” (Proverbs 16:31 The Message Bible) I looked in the mirror Monday morning and contemplated seeking out a professional hair stylist to color my gray beard to a natural black. After staring at my image for a minute, I decided against it because I realized the gray hair was not a sign of being old, but rather a sign of being...

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 The Amplified Bible) God’s dialogue this past Sunday was crystal clear. It weaved its way through Sunday School and the morning’ sermon, the sent word. There was more than one thread that weaved...

AFTER YOU ARE BLESSED FOR BEING A BLESSING

ByDr. Mark June 12, 2024 0 Comments
Today’s meditation is the sequel that I promised to provide after yesterday’s meditation, “Are You Looking For A Blessing,” in which you were challenged by these words, “If you want a blessing, be a blessing.” Confident that you will consult God’s word below, and because it is a long passage, in the eyes of some, unusually long perhaps, but undeniably profitable, I will be concise....

BLESSED MORE THAN YOU THINK

“Blessed is the people of whom this is true; blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm 144:15 NIV) My friend, you are blessed more than you think!  Let’s do two exercises, two brief exercises to raise your conscious level in regard to how blessed you are. The first exercise is a vocal exercise.  I heard a song on the radio the other day where the lyrics repeated the...

BLESSED QUIETNESS

“God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.  Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening.  Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, but their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.  God makes a huge dome for the sun - a superdome!  The morning sun's a new husband leaping from his...

THANKFUL AND BLESSED!

“…in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” (I Thessalonians 5:18 NASB) This morning our meditation is provided by Valerie Ray, a fellow writer blogger, and a member of the church that I pastor.  She serves faithfully as the Director of Christian Education, but more than that, she is a gifted, talented saint in more ways than one.  She is...

ByDr. Mark November 3, 2021 0 Comments
“How blessed are the people who are so situated; how blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!” (Psalm 144:15 NASB) Call it what you want; a repeat, a review, a rehash, a reminder, or for some, a new revelation, any of which shall be of real value.  It’s midweek and I’m just making known a point that came across in the magnificent message preached this past Sunday by the sent...
