“HE SET MY FEET ON A ROCK”
“I waited
Psalm 40:1-3
Intr.:
patiently for the LORD;
1. he turned to me and heard my cry.
2. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
3. he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
4. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
End:
Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.”
I had two cups of coffee today.

“A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.” – Irish Proverb
In a healthy RELATIONSHIP husband and wife are on the same page, on the same wavelength. That means that both want the same things and that both expect the same things.
BEING ON THE SAME PAGE
First of all they are on the same page when it comes to their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. That is in fact the foundation.
At the end of chapter six in his second letter to the Corinthians the apostle Paul is writing about not being yoked together with unbelievers. He says, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.” And then he asks the question, “For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?” And after that he has four more questions.
Husband and wife are on the same page when it comes to serving the Lord Jesus Christ.
They are also on the same page when it comes to praying together.
They are also on the same page when it comes to going go the same church.
They are also on the same page when it comes to sending their children to Sunday School and to a Christian School.
Husband, do you want what your wife wants? Wife, do you want what your husband wants. Husband, do you expect what your wife expects? Wife, do you expect what your husband expects?

“‘I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,’ JESUS REPLIED, ‘NO ONE WHO HAS LEFT HOME OR BROTHERS OR SISTERS OR MOTHER OR FATHER OR CHILDREN OR FIELDS FOR ME AND THE GOSPEL WILL FAIL TO RECEIVE A HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH IN THIS PRESENT AGE (HOMES, BROTHERS, SISTERS, MOTHERS, CHILDREN AND FIELDS – AND WITH THEM PERSECUTIONS) AND IN THE AGE TO COME, ETERNAL LIFE.” – Mark 10:29,30
“Someone famous once said, our destiny is not in the stars but ourselves.”
The Salvation Army in Kaitaia
In the commemorative edition of WAR CRY to mark 150 years of The Salvation Army it says about William Booth, the founder, that he found his destiny when he stepped forward to speak at an open-air meeting outside the Blind Beggar Pub in East London.
He made also up his mind that God would have all of him. That was from the day he got the poor of London on his heart and when he caught a vision of all Jesus Christ could do with them.
Our destiny is not in the stars. Our destiny is not in ourselves. Our destiny is in God.

The Salvation Army in KAITAIA
“When asked for the secret of his success, William Booth said, “I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, men with greater opportunities. But from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of all Jesus Christ could do with them, on that day I made up my mind that God would have all there is of William Booth. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army today, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.”
