The six "I will" statements from Psalm 118



1. vs 6 "I will not be afraid."

2. vs 7 "I will look in triumph on my enemies."

3. vs 17 "I will not die but live."

4. vs 17 "I will proclaim what the Lord has done."

5. vs 19 "I will enter and give thanks to the Lord."

6. vs 21 "I will give Him thanks."

When a spiritual battle is raging around us, we need to remember who is with us. We need to keep our eyes focused on Christ. God is always with us, he is our helper when conflict and spiritual warfare is upon us. When we are steadfast in our faith, and focused completely on Jesus we will be able to say as the Psalmist has written, "I will..."

In the name of the Lord, we will have victory over our enemies in this world, as we remember to say "I will..."

With Love Robin

My Precious Friend,

I'm still staying afloat in the raging seas right now all because of His Word and my clinging to and trusting in each one of them.

Thank you for such a powerful message. You help my eyes, mind and heart to remain wide open to Him.

I love you Robin.

Peace, Love & Blessings

Beautiful reminder of what we truly have that's in us...we battle with God's weapons not of worldly things so "we will"...

Blessings to you sister and have a great weekend.

Good thing I came back :) Contemplating? I say, "go sister"...If that's what's eating at your heart, ask the Lord if that's what He wants for you - to learn how to play the guitar. Nothing impossible with Him...God bless.

Robin,
This must be the message for today, worship, even in the middle of a storm. I love these six verses, I am going to copy them down and write them on cards to encourage me when things go wrong.

Your music is beautiful.

An interesting take on the "I will's" of God versus the I will's of satan that caused his fall.

The Psalmist David is as relevant today as he was thousands of years ago. How many people have clung to these 6 "I wills"? And how many yet unborn will also find solace and strength in that Psalm? The Word of God is magnificent isn't it?

Thoughts from Philippians 1:3-11

Blogger is losing my words today! It is good to be back into routine, however it was good to get away from the daily demands. I am posting a few points from the sermon I will be giving tomorrow night at a seniors service in my community. The title of my sermon is "Thanksgiving and Prayer"--It is Thanksgiving on Monday here in Canada. Philippians 1:3-5 Point One: Paul viewed the past with a thankful heart to God. In this passage, Paul demonstrates how to view the past by having a thankful heart towards God for all that he has been given. He was able to be content because when he looked at the past he did so with a thankful heart. He recognized that in Christ he was able to do all things and the key was to be thankful for God’s direction and the encouragement he received from other believers. Philippians 1:6-8 Point Two: Paul viewed the present with confidence in what God is doing. As Paul remembers and thinks about the Christians in Philippi, he was flooded with emotio

Overdrive or Simiplicity

“They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.” Psalm 118:12 Today in our world daily life seems to be on overdrive. I am sure almost everyone who reads this post will totally agree and understand. When I decided to take up Cliff’s invitation to add a short devotional to Spiritual Sundays, I did not consider it would cause me to enter into another spiritual warfare with a swarm of bees. I seem to enter this place often! I know, I am still learning how to say, "No." Life a few days ago was full, but manageable. However, today numerous pulls of busyness came at me like a swarm of nettlesome bees. What I need to remember is to remain in Christ when the bees of spiritual warfare surround me. Spending time in God’s word and prayer is a daily commitment I must keep for health and peace. By being constant in my spiritual life and focused on Christ, I am able to still and silence the daily demands that bring
