For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.<br /><br />10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.</i><br /><br />True repentance isn't being sorry you got caught, or even sorry that you hurt someone, or even knowing that if you could go back in time you'd do it differently. True repentance is recognizing that your sin was a grievance against both God and man, confessing, making restitution (when possible) and turning 180 degrees in the other direction. Anything less is simply worldly sorrow.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045517118866436340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-83619879693619780922015-08-28T22:51:25.412-05:002015-08-28T22:51:25.412-05:00The direction our eyes are looking will be the dir...The direction our eyes are looking will be the direction that we head in. Psalms was a good reminder for me to keep my eyes on God.

It's good to put things into perspective.<br /><br />This verse did that for me:<br />8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,<br /> who made heaven and earth.<br /><br />When I need help, I can call on God, who created everything. No problem is bigger than that.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770898936799604859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094248114996261058.post-20087004318832621372015-08-28T07:33:37.010-05:002015-08-28T07:33:37.010-05:00Psalm 124: 1 and 2
What would have happened to us ...Psalm 124: 1 and 2<br />What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side?<br /> Tell us about it, Israel.<br />What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side<br /> when people attacked us?<br /><br />I like how these verses are phrased, asking us questions to remind us how things could be if God hadn't helped us. Often I take things for granted and need to be brought back to reality by remembering what God has all done for me. Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983845317182469954noreply@blogger.com
